Mental Health & Addiction in Maryland: Understanding Dual Diagnosis

Many individuals silently struggle with both addiction and mental illness—a condition called dual diagnosis. At RASS Psychiatry in Columbia, Maryland, we offer thoughtful, coordinated psychiatric care to address both.

What Dual Diagnosis Looks Like

You may be dealing with depression, PTSD, or bipolar disorder—and using substances to cope. Or your substance use might be worsening underlying anxiety. Treating just one side often leaves people stuck in the cycle.

Signs of Co-Occurring Conditions

• Use of alcohol or substances to numb emotions

• Mood changes tied to drug use
