Understanding Co-Occurring Disorders

Co-occurring disorders, also known as dual diagnosis, occur when mental health disorders, such as anxiety or depression, coexist with substance use issues. Understanding the complex relationship between these disorders is vital for effective treatment. Often, individuals turn to substances as a form of self-medication, creating a vicious cycle that exacerbates their conditions.
