Almost half of the individuals with a mental health disorder have a co-occurring substance use disorder. Unfortunately, the connection often goes unnoticed and untreated. This lack of information leaves people going in and out of treatment for decades. Mental health and addiction go hand in hand, and the only way to approach them is through a comprehensive dual-diagnosis program that addresses them simultaneously.
What’s Included?
This eBook about mental health and addiction shares insights into the world of dual diagnosis and recognizing the symptoms. However, remember that these conditions vary tremendously from person to person, so it’s impossible to pinpoint your loved one’s symptoms in one book. Nor, we intend this book to be a replacement for medical and professional advice. Instead, we want this book to serve as a resource guide for those who fear their loved one struggles with one of these devastating disorders. In this first edition, you will find:
- The connection between mental health and addiction
- What are dual-diagnosis programs?
- How depression, anxiety, and ADHD can lead to addiction
- The way addiction triggers mental health disorders
- What are the treatment options
- How to find help for co-occurring disorders
- What to look for in treatment
