What Is a Dual Diagnosis?<\/h2>\n

A\u00a0dual diagnosis, also known as co-occurring disorders, is when a person is diagnosed with both a substance use disorder and a mental or behavioral health disorder. Both types of disorders share many of the same risk factors, such as having a family history of addiction or mental illness, trauma, genetics, and environment. When left untreated, a dual diagnosis can lead to worsened mental health symptoms, and a highly severe addiction that can lead to overdose or death.<\/p>\n

Does One Disorder Cause the Other?<\/h2>\n

Substance abuse can trigger one or more mental illnesses, while the reverse is also true. Long-term use of drugs and alcohol can change the structure of the brain and the way it functions to cause depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and other mental health disorders. Substance abuse can also lead to the development of compulsive behavior disorders, like binge eating and gambling.<\/p>\n

Mental health and behavior disorders can lead to substance abuse when people use drugs and alcohol as a way to numb or escape their symptoms. For example, a person battling post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or depression may drink alcohol every night in an attempt to sleep better and avoid unpleasant thoughts. However, long-term use of substances will often exacerbate symptoms of mental illness.<\/p>\n
