These behaviors are most likely to place Jeremy at a heightened level of risk for Major Depressive Disorder. This disorder is characterized by a feeling of hopelessness, devaluation and a low perspective on the future. Among the risk factors to develop this pathology is a genetic inheritance, environmental and family factors.

The fact that a person resorts to drugs to deal with an emotional situation indicates that they do not have the tools to solve their situation, and this makes them more likely to develop a pathology.

I hope my answer can help you.
