Mental Illness or Psychiatric Disorder and Addiction

[lostinla]

I would like to just post this quick question before my nights end. I think it would be quite interesting to find out the population here who has been diagnosed, mis diagnosed, or just 'wondered' about the possiblity of depression, adhd, bipolar disorder, etc. The relationship between the mis wiring of the brain (which I think makes the mind more beautiful) and the use or liking to the usage of various substances usually goes hand in hand. Any thoughts? Actually, experiences. We all know the 'data' and all of the rest. Personal experiences are the best . SWIM would love to hear SWIYs' thoughts!
