The People who have both substance use disorders and also mental health disorders, they are diagnosed as co-occurring disorders, or dual disorders. A substance use disorder includes alcohol or drug abuse and alcohol or drug dependence. In U.S we find nearly 8.9 million people with this disorder. People suffering with the co-occurring disorders need a specialized form of dual diagnosis treatment.
The Dual Diagnosis: Open Access (DDOA) focuses on all relevant topics in the area of dual diagnosis like Dual Diagnosis, Dual Diagnosis Treatment, Clinical Diagnosis of Depression, Autism Diagnosis, Alzheimer’s Diagnosis, Schizophrenia Diagnosis, Psychiatric Diagnosis, Anxiety Diagnosis, OCD Diagnosis, Multiaxial Diagnosis, Cerebral palsy Diagnosis, Trigeminal Neuralgia Diagnosis, Peripheral Neuropathy Diagnosis, PDD Diagnosis, MDD Diagnosis, Dyspraxia Diagnosis, Dysautonomia Diagnosis, etc.
The articles are invited for wide range of psychiatric problems as the psychiatric problems are common in dual diagnosis, which includes Depressive disorder, such as depression and bipolar disorder; Anxiety disorders, including generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and phobias; other psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia and personality disorders. Although several important topics are mentioned, yet the journal will not be limiting the consideration for publication, other allied topics will also be considered if they are found to be suitable under the wide scope of the journal.
Lastly I would like to wish all the Authors and readers to encourage and increase the scope of the journal by contributing your valuable research submission and enlighten the knowledge globally.
