There are a variety of different mental health disorders that can be associated with substance use and labeled dual diagnosis. Some of these disorders include: schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anti-social personality disorder, narcissistic personality, and depression. Depending on what disorder is present, the symptoms of a dual diagnosis patient can be different. To recover fully, the person needs treatment for both problems.
