People with mood disorders often have simultaneous problems with addiction, and those with substance abuse problems are especially susceptible to mood disorder.

They address the all-too-frequent necessity of proceeding with treatment before a clear diagnosis is known, and they claim that distinguishing between primary and secondary disorders is initially less critical than previously assumed.
