Dual diagnosis, also known as co-occurring disorders, refers to the presence of both a mental health condition and substance use disorder in an individual. This complex interplay can significantly impact one’s well-being, often requiring specialized care to address both aspects effectively.
The development of co-occurring disorders can be influenced by various factors:
Symptoms of co-occurring disorders may encompass a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and physical manifestations:
Accurate diagnosis involves:
Co-occurring disorders involve complex interactions within the brain, affecting neurotransmitter activity and emotional regulation.
Individuals with a family history of mental health conditions or substance use disorders, as well as those who have experienced trauma, may be at higher risk.
Untreated co-occurring disorders can lead to worsened mental health symptoms, increased risk of substance dependence and heightened vulnerability to physical health concerns.
