Life is very much demanding. It demands different approaches, consistent changes in social, economical status or roles can lead to stress and many times depressions. Dealing with these hurdles in life is not always easy for everybody. It only takes a strong mind and stubborn willpower to get over these stressful things. Most of the times people give surrender to it and decide to go with the flow. Such people, who give in, suffer from mental stress and trauma. This trauma is often termed as Dual Diagnosis. This means mental illness and addiction together. Many studies describe it as a term used for people with an intellectual disability and diagnosed with a mental illness.
The substance abuse is as difficult as drug abuse itself and it often induces psychiatric symptoms, thus making it necessary to differentiate between substance induced and pre-existing mental illness. It can be also described as a co morbid condition of a person considered to be suffering from a mental illness and a substance abus problem at the same time. There is considerable argument which surrounds the aptness of this term being used to describe a heter geneous group of individuals with complex needs and a varied range of problems. The concept can be used broadly to describe, for example depression and alcoholism, or it can be very well restricted to specify severe mental illness for example psychosis,schizophrenia and substance misuse disorder like hash abus or a person who has a milder mental illness and a drug dependency, such as panic disorder or generalized anxiety dissorder and is dependence opiodis.

In short this term broadly means use of drugs and mental illness combined together. Dual diagnosis rehab combines two treatments combined into tone holistic recovery treatment. As the name itself suggests, that there are two disorders or diseases existing together or one leading to the other. This treatment should be given together for its higher effect and not separately. The clinical experts follow cognitive therapies and medical treatment together for a combined effect. The problem for professional counselors and mental health care providers in trying to help these patients is making an accurate diagnosis. This disorder does not only affect the adults, but also teen. It is often observed that, the teens fall prey to different situations than the adults. This occurs due to vulnerable mind, peer pressure and seeking acceptance from the group, which are highly important things during that age. Thus teens are more prone to such kind of mental trauma which might lead to addiction or other disorders.
