Co-Occurring or Dual Disorders

There are too few books that are broken down into simple, and helpful, formats. With thousands of people recovering from addictions and mental health issues, having a practical, down-to-earth daily guide brings a lot of relief. When attention spans are short from either depression, ADD, anxiety, or any other distracting life event, this book can speak clearly and yet very helpfully.

Amazing resource

I was recently diagnosed severe recurrent (chronic) depression with anxiety and put on meds, and have been in recovery already for 12 years. There isn't a lot of literature out there that's non-clinical for the "dually diagnosed" population as accessible as this book, and it's a treasure because you can flip around from topic to topic using the index. I have found out so much about myself and about how to cope with life from this little book. DEFINITELY worth the money!!
