Dual Diagnosis is the condition of suffering from a mental illness and a comorbid substance abuse problem. On today’s episode we learn more about dual diagnosis from Dr. Estevez who is the Director of Psychiatric Services here at Turning Point of Tampa.
Dr. Ryan Estevez is a psychiatrist who has earned several Ivy League advanced degrees in the behavioral and health sciences, including a bachelor’s degree in psychology, master’s degrees in both social psychology & public health and a Ph.D. in experimental psychology.
