Specifically, it refers to the convergence of an addiction disorder and a psychiatric disorder in one person. These patients present a much more serious clinical and social condition, so adequate treatment to mitigate the consequences of these pathologies becomes crucial.

One of the diseases that usually occurs in Dual Pathology is psychotic disorders, which are very prevalent and a very prominent cause of disability.

Postgraduate Diploma in Severe Mental Disorder/Dual Pathology

Severe mental disorder/dual pathology is a condition in which a person simultaneously suffers from a serious mental disorder and a substance abuse disorder. The term "dual pathology" refers to the presence of two different and co-existing diagnoses in an individual, in this case, a serious mental disorder such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, major depression, among others, and a problem with abuse or dependence on psychoactive substances, such as alcohol, illegal drugs or prescription medications.

The presence of dual pathology can make clinical care and therapy difficult, as the symptoms of the mental disorder and the effects of psychoactive substance use disorders can affect each other and can be very difficult to discern. In addition, the presence of a psychoactive substance use disorder can have a negative impact on the effectiveness of treatment for severe mental disorder. The treatment of dual pathology is often complex and may require the intervention of multiple professionals, including psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses and social workers. The primary goals of treatment are to achieve abstinence from substances and improve control of mental symptoms, as well as to improve the patient's quality of life. Common treatments include individual therapy, group therapy, pharmacological support, crisis management and recovery support.

TECH, the world's largest online university, has an academic program designed to provide students with the skills and knowledge necessary to understand serious mental disorders and dual pathology, as well as to assess and design specific treatment plans for these disorders. Students learn to use diagnostic tools to identify serious mental disorders and dual pathology, as well as to design psychological and psychiatric treatment plans for these patients. They also learn to evaluate the efficacy of different treatments for these disorders and to provide appropriate Nursing and rehabilitation interventions for these patients.
