Dual diagnosis, or co-occurring disorders, is when a person experiences more than one mental health issue simultaneously. Counseling interventions change according to the specific disorders.
Available Treatment Options
Most often, therapists can treat multiple mental health issues simultaneously using therapeutic techniques. Some interventions, such as developing healthy coping mechanisms and exploring past trauma, can help various mental health issues at once.
