Co-occurring disorders are often treated with behavioral therapies. Some of the most common therapies used in dual diagnosis are:
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy – Targets behaviors that interfere with quality of life such as mood disorders, binge eating, ADHD, PTSD, substance abuse, negative thoughts, and low self-image. Group Therapy – Sharing experiences with others can help individuals remember that they aren’t alone in experiencing depression, anxiety, anger, fear, and shame. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy – During CBT, individuals discuss their thoughts, feelings, and negative behaviors with a mental health professional. Individual Therapy -Tailored individual therapy sessions provides a safe environment to identify and treat issues that could possibly hinder recovery. Some hurdles often include co-occurring conditions.
