Embark on a profound journey with us as we unravel the complexities of co-occurring disorders alongside our insightful co-host, Stacy Frost. Together, we illuminate the often-misunderstood intersection where mental health meets substance use, unpacking the critical signs and tailoring treatment to individual needs. Discover how bipolar disorder intertwines with alcohol, how PTSD merges with a bottle, and the shadowy dance between depression and opioids. Through our conversation, we promise insights that will deepen your understanding of these dual battles waged within the mind and body, equipping you with the knowledge to recognize and address the nuanced symptoms that often go unnoticed.

With an ear to the ground and an eye on the latest clinical tools, we guide you through the maze of diagnostic techniques that are reshaping our approach to dual diagnosis. The Structured Clinical Interview for DSM Disorders and the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview emerge as our compasses in this terrain, helping clinicians navigate the nuanced presentations of co-occurring disorders. As we share these insights, remember that a well-informed perspective is your best ally in supporting those facing the silent struggles of intertwined mental health and substance challenges. Join us for an engaging session that not only prepares you for clinical practice but also offers a beacon of understanding for anyone touched by these complex conditions.
