Dual Diagnosis
Dual Diagnosis refers to the condition of having both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder simultaneously. This co-occurring condition presents unique challenges in diagnosis, treatment, and management, as both disorders interact and exacerbate one another. Individuals with dual diagnosis often face a more complex clinical picture and may experience poorer outcomes without integrated treatment approaches.
