multiple disorders-Essay Dev Disabilities/Psychosocial
Order instructions:
This week, we look at how there can be multiple disorders that are also coupled with substance use and abuse as well. For instance, an individual can be diagnosed with cerebral palsy, major depression, and alcoholism. Having one diagnosis is challenging enough; however, having more than one as well as a substance usage can be daunting for professionals who attend the person as well as the family and the individual him or herself.
For this week, after reading the text along with other professional literature discuss what is meant by co-occurring disorders. Give example either from your professional or personal experiences along with which type of treatment was instituted. Did it help the individual?
