Dual Diagnosis as defined by the DBSA (Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance) is: “… The term used when a person has a mood disorder such as depression or bipolar disorder (also known as manic depression) and a problem with alcohol or drugs. A person who has a dual diagnosis has two separate illnesses, and each illness needs its own treatment plan” (DBSA).
