Dual Diagnosis
A person who suffers from alcohol abuse / alcoholism, drug abuse / drug addiction and an emotional/psychiatric problem is said to have a dual diagnosis. To recover fully, the person will require addiction treatment and psychiatric treatment for both problems.
Dual diagnosis is a common diagnosis. Thirty-seven percent of people with alcohol abuse and fifty-three percent of people with drug abuse also have at least one serious mental illness. Of all people diagnosed as mentally ill, 29 percent suffer from alcohol abuse or drug abuse.

Hairy Cell Leukemia
Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a rare cancer of the blood. It affects B cells, a type of white blood cell (lymphocyte). HCL is due to increase of a clonal malignant B cell that infiltrates the reticuloendothelial cells, mainly the bone marrow, resulting in bone marrow failure. Somewhere between 600 and 800 people are effected with hairy cell leukemia every year in the United States. Hairy cell leukemia affects more men than women, and it occurs most commonly in middle-aged or older adults.
Children and teenagers don’t get hairy cell leukemia. This disease is observed more commonly in whites. Occasionally, hairy cell leukemia has occurred in members of the same family. However, this is uncommon and no hereditary pattern has been established. Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is associated with gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial infections as well as atypical mycobacterial and invasive fungal infections.

An Overview of the Mental Health Assessment
Mental health assessment is conceived only through a series of tedious processes that will help identify all necessary details of the mental wellness of the person leading to a conclusive judgment. It is a common knowledge among practitioners of mental health care providers that a mental health assessment could only be conceived if all information relating to the disorder could be gathered. Diagnosis may take a few minutes but arriving at a conclusion is possible only after a certain period of case study.
Fleshing out the details is necessary to arrive at an accurate result- may it be diagnosis or prognosis. But this could only be achieved by paying attention to small details that could uncover underlying symptoms, when developments of symptoms are well-recorded and when the mental state of the patient is strictly monitored. A psychiatric assessment is built on careful attention to details associated with the person including medical history, upbringing and environment, experiences such as childhood traumas along with others. If not done properly, the doctor may fail to see crucial details that could affect the result of the evaluation.
