Oftentimes, psychological disorders are connected to substance addiction. This overlapping of the two conditions is referred to as dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorders. Correct diagnosis and treatment of the psychological disorder can improve the recovery chances of the individual. The three most common emotional disorders are as follows:
What Are Mood Disorders?
Mood disorders are one of the top three psychological illnesses affecting those with substance abuse issues. Often times, those with depression, bipolar disorder, or other mood disorders will self-medicate to deal with their side effects of the disorder.
What Are Anxiety Disorders?
Anxiety disorders are a heightened sense of paranoia, anxiety, or anything else brings on a panicked feeling. The most common anxiety disorders are:
- Panic Disorders: Sudden feeling of terror even when nothing is wrong
- Phobia: Irrational fears often associated with objects or situations
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Ritualistic behavior
What Is Trauma?
Individuals who have experienced a traumatic event often deal with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Drugs or alcohol are used in order to cope with the constant stress that is brought on when something reminds the individual of the traumatic episode.
