What Is a Co-Occurring Disorder?
Also referred to as a dual diagnosis, a co-occurring disorder includes the combination of two or more substance use and mental health disorders. People with substance use disorders are at high risk for developing one or more primary conditions or chronic diseases, such as mental illness. The co-occurrence of mental illness and addiction is common.
In fact, individuals with mental health disorders are more likely to experience a substance use disorder than those not affected by mental illness. According to SAMHSA, approximately 9.2 million adults in the United States have a co-occurring disorder.
Types of mental health disorders that commonly co-occur with addiction include:
- Anxiety and mood disorders
- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
- Bipolar disorder
- Conduct disorders
- Major depressive disorder
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Schizophrenia
Additionally, individuals undergoing mental health treatment are often addicted to the following types of substances:
- Alcohol
- Hallucinogens
- Marijuana
- Opioids
- Prescription drugs
- Stimulants
- Tobacco
The complex interaction between substance abuse and mental health often leads to a mutually reinforcing cycle, where the symptoms of one disorder worsen those of the other. As shown above, co-occurring disorders can encompass a wide range of conditions, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and post-traumatic stress disorder, paired with substance use or addiction to substances like alcohol, drugs, or prescription medications. Due to the various aspects of these connected disorders, specialized treatment approaches that address both the addiction and mental health components comprehensively are required to achieve holistic recovery and improved overall well-being for individuals seeking help.
