Self-stigma represents the effects of being part of a stigmatized group and turning the stigma on one’s self (Corrigan & Watson, 2007). ). Public stigma is the reaction that the general public has to people who have mental illness (Corrigan &Wassel, 2008).

    Co morbidity is the occurrence of two or more distinct psychiatric disorders at the same time (Wang J. & El-Guebaly, 2004). Research on co morbid substance dependence and major depression was facilitated with the DSM-IV definition of primary or independent disorder (Brown et al., 1995). Research has shown that as many as 80% of alcoholic men and women complain of depressive symptoms, and at least one third meet the criteria for a major depressive episode (Brown et al.).
