Co-occurring disorders, also known as dual disorders or dual diagnosis, are disorders in which a person has both a drug use condition and a mental health disorder. Alcohol or drug dependence is a serious condition than alcohol or drug abuse. People with addiction have struggled in their efforts to abstain from or regulate their drug consumption, in addition to facing increasingly harmful effects. Increased tolerance and withdrawal in some cases are indications of physiological dependency.
Meanwhile, mood and anxiety disorders are two of the most prevalent mental health disorders observed in chemically dependent people. People with severe mental illness are most likely to have co-occurring alcohol use problems. If not treated in time, alcohol problems may lead to serious physical health conditions such as alcohol-induced liver disease.
