There is a need to understand how the co-morbid conditions affect the ability of a dually diagnosed patient to cope with both mental and substance abuse disorders. The idea that mental illnesses are worsened by mental abuse should be considered, and at other times, people use substances to get relief. There is also the case of self medication where people with mental disorders then use substances.
