Hmmm... generally either Schizophrenia or Bipolar Disorder or Trauma too. I believe Cluster As some of them have this feature, but I am not sure, as I know below 0 about schizoaffectivity and schizotypal disorders, but again they found a correlation with Autism. I only know a bit about PPD.

Also exhaustion and somatic problems, i.e. anemia (iron deficiency etc) or insomnia can lead to those symptoms.

Nah depression is unrelated to substance abuse, perhaps you mean bipolar depression, then yes I agree.
