I pose the following question to you, sir:

Why did you couple mental illness with substance abusers?

Differing issues, in my opinion.

Annie Oney, thanks for your good question. I think I pulled those categories from a local article.

More specifically, while for many there are, indeed, different issues, I have frequently encountered the terms "co-occurring" disorders and "dual diagnosis".

Mental illness is a very broad category, as is substance abuse, which could include abuse of prescription drugs, not just illegal drugs.
