I think the substance abuse group would be a subset of (not separate from) the mental health group, because substance abuse dx's fall under mental health. That's how I interpreted it, anyway.

I have this major issue with the term "mental illness" and the way it is used in society.

It's used as if it's something obscure or untouchable and as if it's dissociated from the physical body.
