I forget the percentages but its pretty solid that a lot of people with bipolar have some sort of either addiction or vice due to self medicating over the untreated years or additional self medicating with meds. The percentages are on the higher end for people with adhd that are untreated. In fact people with adhd that are on meds are less likely to have an addiction due to proper treatment. Also the percenteges are on the higher end for people with ptsd or a trauma history as well. That said I am addicted to nictotine and an alcoholic in recovery. I thing the alcoholism was due to at first excess alcohol due to my absorption problems and me attempting to maintain that buzz. Then my hardwiring kicked in and I became an alcoholic in 6 months.
