Description: Co-morbidity is a condition describing the presence of two or more diagnosable conditions, happening, either at the same time or having a close temporal relationship, to the same individual. This is usually focused on the presence of psychological/psychiatric problems and associated poly-drug use and misuse. This monograph looks at theoretical concepts related to mental health problems and substance misuse within a European context.
