The rates of SUDS in patients with non-substance use psychiatric diagnosis is very high. There is a complex interaction between both disorders. The aetiological principles behind both disorders are likely similar and include social, environmental, psychological, genetic and epigenetic factors. Having these disorders come at a great personal cost to the individual, their families and broader society. This presentation will explore factors contributing to the development of both disorders beginning with early childhood environment, attachment and parenting styles. It will also explore the role of culture and society in perpetuating or curtailing these disorders and the cost and toll on our society and family. Intervention involves all levels of society and a cultural re-think to SUDS and non-substance use psychiatry diagnosis treatment.
