Preferred term

double trouble  

Definition

  • The term double trouble refers to a condition that includes dual or multiple diagnoses when one or more diagnoses is for a substance use disorder and one or more diagnoses is for a mental disorder. The term co-occurring disorder is used predominantly to describe this condition to further clarify the fact that a disorder of each category (substance use disorder and mental disorder) must not only be present but is also independent of the other.
