Both alcohol and non-medical drug use can be bad for your mental health. Some people may also use alcohol or drugs because they have mental health problems. You will not be judged if you speak to a doctor about using alcohol or drugs. They are there to help and support you.
Talk to your GP if you have mental health problems. They will be able to refer you to specialist services.
