Comorbidity - harmful use or addiction and concurrent mental illness

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: GSA3AS

The course is a basic course on comorbidity in the form of harmful use or addiction alongside concurrent psychiatric diagnosis. The primary focus is on understanding of how comorbidity manifests in individuals within the context of biological, individual, and social factors. Additionally, the course addresses how power dynamics and stigmatization impact the relationship between the individual and the authorities, as well as the individual’s self-perception and beliefs. Approaches to interaction, an adaptive stance, and the significance of forming alliances in support and treatment of the individual are additional aspects covered in the course. National guidelines, evidence-based treatment methods, as well as the importance of concurrent treatment and support interventions to meet and address individual needs are also elucidated. Furthermore, the course delves into shared conditions within the community and region based on legislation and legally mandated agreements on collaboration. Coordination and collaboration serve as a common thread throughout various components of the course, taking into account intersectional factors such as gender, class, age and ethnicity.
