Are you living with Dual Diagnosis?
Mental health disorders and substance use disorders often coexist. More than half of those individuals who suffer substance abuse are likely to have at least one significant mental health condition. The co-existing disorders are known as “dual diagnosis.”8 common mental disorders that exist with substance abuse disorders among dual diagnosis patients are –
* Major Depression
* PTSD or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
* Bipolar Disorder
* Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
* Borderline Personality Disorder
* Anxiety Disorder
* Eating Disorders
* Schizophrenia
It is important to establish an accurate diagnosis for dual diagnosis patients. The relationship between substance abuse and mental health disorders can vary in different cases.
1. Substance abuse may perpetuate, induce, worsen or alleviate psychiatric symptoms in these patients.
2. Substance abuse may cause psychiatric symptoms.
3. Acute and chronic substance use can trigger the re-emergence or worsen the severity of psychiatric disorders.
Dual Diagnosis
Dual diagnosis patients experience more severe and chronic medical, social and emotional dysfunction.
Since dual diagnosis patients have two disorders, they run the risk of either one worsening. Moreover, addiction relapse may cause psychiatric decompensation and worsening psychiatric problems may lead to addiction relapse. This is why relapse prevention is an integral part of dual diagnosis treatment.
Patients with dual disorders may face more crises than other patients and require longer and gradual treatment.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
The complexity of dual diagnosis requires require an individualized treatment plan to treat patients with dual diagnosis. This is followed by a comprehensive, multidisciplinary care plan that will include treatment for both disorders.
A comprehensive treatment plan will have treatment from both addiction and mental health professionals. This has been found to be the most effective way to treat dual diagnosis patients.
