Addiction often coexists with psychiatric disorders, such as anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia, complicating diagnosis and treatment. Known as dual diagnosis, these co-occurring conditions require an integrated treatment approach. Substance abuse can exacerbate mental health symptoms, while psychiatric disorders can increase vulnerability to addiction. Effective management involves simultaneous treatment of both conditions using a combination of medication, psychotherapy, and lifestyle changes. Understanding the bidirectional relationship between addiction and mental health is crucial for developing personalized treatment plans. Addressing psychiatric comorbidities can significantly improve recovery outcomes and quality of life for affected individuals.
