What happens when a person suffers a addiction and, both, A mental disorder?
This condition is called ‘dua pathologyl’, and it is one of the biggest challenges we face in the field of mental health. It is estimated that more than 75% of patients with serious psychological conditions (like depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, inter alia) They also develop an addiction to certain psychoactive substances such as alcohol, illicit drugs or prescription medications.
This phenomenon complicates both diagnosis and treatment, since the symptoms of addiction and mental disorder can overlap or aggravate each other, making its clinical approach difficult . Besides, People with dual pathology usually face a higher risk of relapses, social exclusion and physical health problems, which makes your recovery more complex. In many cases, Substance use becomes a escape mechanism to relieve symptoms of mental disorder, but in the long term it aggravates the patient's general condition.
Therefore, A comprehensive therapeutic approach that combines psychiatric treatment and specific strategies for addiction rehabilitation is essential., allowing better recovery and quality of life.
