Doctors are still debating the reasons behind why depression often occurs in people who use cocaine.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cocaine<\/a> is strongly linked<\/strong> to depression. One study shows that nearly half<\/a> of people who struggle with cocaine use and mental health issues<\/a> are depressed. Doctors have debated whether the drug itself causes depression or if people with depression are more likely to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other doctors have pointed out that a cocaine use disorder itself can cause depression, due to the stress of living with an addiction. Although the debate is ongoing, evidence shows that people who struggle with cocaine are more likely to be depressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
