11 Co-Occurring Disorders Source: Psychology Today People with co-occurring disorders have one or more disorders relating to the use of alcohol and/or other drugs as well as one or more mental disorders. More than half of all adults with severe mental illness are further impaired by substance use disorders (abuse or dependence related to alcohol or other drugs). People with dual disorders often experience more severe and chronic medical, social, and emotional problems.
