Linked Diagnoses

Crises have the potential to amplify preexisting problems or lead people to adopt unhealthy behaviors and beliefs about themselves, others, and the world around them. Clinicians use the words “comorbid”, “comorbidity”, and “linked diagnoses” to describe mental disorders that have a tendency to exist within the same person. Ideally all of these conditions must be taken into account if holistic wellness is to be achieved.
