Many individuals struggling with mood disorders such as depression also suffer from conditions such as anxiety, eating disorders, substance use disorders, or post-traumatic stress disorder. These conditions can all serve as mood disorder triggers for relapse and left untreated, which will usually prevent a successful recovery. When multiple conditions or disorders exist for a patient, this is considered to be a dual diagnosis. For dually diagnosed patients, proper diagnosis and treatment are essential. Here at Delray Center for Healing, we offer a number of depression treatment options for all people affected by depression, including our depression dual diagnosis program.
When a person living with a depressive disorder doesn’t get help for other co-occurring disorders, the chance of relapse is substantially higher. While an individual may learn coping skills and obtain treatment for depression, not treating the other disorder(s) lowers the overall success of remission. So when the symptoms of the concurrent disorder(s) arise, the individual may revert to self-medication or maladaptive self-soothing techniques that undermine effective depression treatment. This can lead to a decline in mental health, resulting in long term depression and depressive episodes. Therefore, it’s important to address all mental health issues during depression treatment. This way, an individual can learn and utilize ALL the skills and treatments that fit their needs. And they can continue to manage their mental wellbeing without such a high risk for relapse.
