Dual Diagnosis & Co-occurring Disorders
Dual Diagnosis describes the presence of both a mental health condition and a substance use disorder in one person. This combination can intensify symptoms, complicate treatment, and increase the risk of relapse. Common examples include alcohol misuse alongside depression or drug use with anxiety disorders. Successful treatment relies on an integrated approach that addresses both issues together through early intervention, personalized care, and support from a multidisciplinary team.
