Can someone please enlighten me on what dual diagnosis is??
Question: I've heard of this somewhere and it got me intrigued. I was just wondering what this is.
Answers: A person with dual diagnosis is one who has co-occurring disorders-- one of substance abuse, and another of a psychological matter. Some of the psychological problems that the person may have are bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, paranoia, anxiety attacks, and depression, among others. The substance abuse disorder may be alcohol addiction or any drug addiction. This can be treated, but it needs a lot of determination and cooperation from the patient.
in short it means 2
It means that you have both a mental diagnosis and a physical diagnosis. For example you could be diagnosed with Bipolar and addicted to alcohol or drugs.Dual means two.
Dual means 2. So they have come up with 2 diagnosises or you have 2 conditions simulatenously such as Diabetes and Hypoadrenocorticism causing the weight loss
A dual diagnosis is when someone has two different (but sometimes related) diseases, usually mental diseases. For example, suffers from addiction and bipolar disease. Or depression and PTSD. Sometimes the diseases have to be treated concurrrently for the person to show signs of improvement.
