biopsychosocial disease

Addiction and depression are biopsychosocial diseases, both are diseases of the mind, body and environment. If your depression is due to your addiction it is refered to as an organic mood disorder and will probably not need any other treatment than treatment for the addiction. Otherwise it is called a dual disorder and requires treatment for both the addiction and the depression at the same time and separately. Simon.
