This booklet is part of a series on mental health and substance use
funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing.
This booklet has been written for people who use alcohol, tobacco or
other drugs who are experiencing extreme moods, like feeling really
‘down’ or depressed, or really ‘up’ or elated.
It aims to:
• Help explain why some people feel the way they do.
• Give suggestions about things people can do to help manage their
mood and substance use.
Other booklets in this series and further information on mental health
and substance use are available at
