Addiction And Substance Abuse: Comorbidity

Abstract: 10 pages in length. The prevalence of comorbidity - a dual presence of substance addition and mental illness - is not as uncommon as once believed. The extent to which dual diagnosis is widespread reflects a significant underlying current between drug and/or alcohol abuse and any one of many different psychiatric disorders. That such a detrimental coupling is not only physically damaging but also socially harmful speaks to the very common connection between such a destructive combination and the ensuing legal implications inherent to antisocial behavior directly associated with drug abuse and mental instability. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
