Could Dual Diagnosis Be the Key to Personalised Treatment in Addiction?

As our knowledge about addiction is increasing the association between mental illness and addiction is
better understood. The controversy about the appropriateness of the term Dual Diagnosis to describe such a heterogeneous group of patients has sparked a debate on treatment and assessment models. It highlighted the fact that as far as treatment modalities are concerned, one size might just not fit all.  Describing the role of the psychiatrist in addiction care he poses the questions: What if dual diagnosis is actually the key to better understanding of our patients? What if this knowledge leads to more individualised treatments? And are we ready for personalised treatment in the addiction field?

The co-occurrence of ADHD and addiction is a well-known phenomenon. It is also riddled with myths and stigma. So what do we really know about this co-morbidity. Is it true that the medicines used to treat ADHD can cause addiction? What is the true potential for abuse of these medicines? How does ADHD affect addiction and vice versa? What are the psychological implications of this co-morbidity on the patients, society and the family? The presentation provides up to date evidence based facts about the topic of ADHD and Addiction.
