Psychiatry-Dual Diagnosis

Dual Diagnosis, which is also known as co-occurring disorder (COD) or dual pathology, is when a patient is suffering from a mental illness and a substance abuse disorder at the same time. This complex condition can include a broad range of dual disorders, from the mild (such as general anxiety disorder and cannabis use disorder) to the severe (such as schizophrenia and opioid use disorder). Sufferers of Dual Diagnosis often face many challenges when it comes to getting proper treatment, due to the multifaceted nature of their disorder.
