Co-occurring Mental Illness and Substance Use Disorders: A Guide to Diagnosis and Treatment presents an evidence-based approach to patients with at least two psychiatric disorders, one of which relates to substance use. Because co-occurring disorders are more the rule than the exception in psychiatry, the editors emphasize that patients should be carefully evaluated for a broad range of disorders, which should then be addressed clinically.
