There is a strong relationship between co-occurrence of substance use/addiction and mental disorders such as schizophrenia, PTSD, depression and ADHD. This relationship is especially important and alarming among veterans, and individuals in general. Understanding the underlying mechanism of this co-morbidity is essential in adopting effective treatments for these mental disorders. Participants attending this workshop will develop a broad scientific perspective on psychopharmacology of addiction and co-morbid disorders.
