PSY3190 Chapter Notes - Chapter ?: Dual Diagnosis, Mental Disorder, Psychiatric Medication
Document Summary
Definitions: dual diagnosis= mental illness and sud: makes you think only one mental illness and one sud, not always the case, co-occurring disorders= preferred, the sud does not cause the mental illness, it may be intertwined with it. If mental illness is because of withdrawal from a drug, does not count as co-occurring disorder: each disorder can influence progression of the other= complicates treatment, more likely to commit suicide if you have a sud. Etiology of co-occurring disorders: common factor model: sud and mental disorders may share similar risk factors that result in both, secondary psychiatric disorder model: sud causes neurological changes that result in mental illness. Increased risk for hiv, hepatitis c and b = drains social resources for treatment: =issues caused or made worse by substance use by psychiatric patients. Substance misuse and adhd: 21% adults w/adhd thought to have concurrent cocaine use disorder: both disrupt dopamine function.
