Turn your professional career around by specializing in the area of mental disorders and dual pathology"

In the world of mental health, the coexistence of two or more psychiatric disorders in the same individual is called Dual Pathology. Specifically, it refers to the convergence of an addiction disorder and a psychiatric disorder in one person. These patients present a much more serious clinical and social condition, so adequate treatment to mitigate the consequences of these pathologies becomes crucial.

One of the diseases that usually occurs in Dual Pathology is psychotic disorders, which are very prevalent and a very prominent cause of disability. Therefore, in this Postgraduate Diploma, we offer an in-depth perspective of this area with special emphasis on the most innovative aspects of treatment. Furthermore, throughout the course, students will gain in-depth knowledge of the tools for differential diagnosis and the treatments for the main psychotic disorders.

In addition, mood disorders are the second cause of disability on the planet. That's why, during this Postgraduate Diploma, we will review the main changes in the evolution of the concept and the innovative treatments of these disorders. All of this will provide the student with in-depth knowledge that will allow them to establish the most effective treatment plans in each case.

Finally, in the Postgraduate Diploma, we will cover the disorders related to substance abuse which are associated with a very significant morbidity and mortality rate and represent a major health problem that extends beyond mental health.
