PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)
PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) and Addiction often occur together, with one condition exacerbating the other. This comorbidity is known as dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorders, where a person struggles with both PTSD and substance use disorder (SUD). The relationship between PTSD and addiction is complex, and each disorder can fuel the other, making treatment more challenging.
