Duální diagnóza: Co to je a jak psychoterapie pomáhá při současném problému
When someone struggles with both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition like depression or anxiety, it’s called duální diagnóza, současná přítomnost závislosti a duševní poruchy, které se navzájem posilují. Also known as komorbidita, it means your brain isn’t just dealing with one problem—it’s caught in a cycle where one makes the other worse. This isn’t rare. In fact, more than half of people seeking help for addiction also have an underlying anxiety, depression, or trauma-related disorder. Treating just the drinking, drugs, or gambling without addressing the inner pain rarely works long-term.
You can’t fix the addiction by just cutting off the substance. And you can’t heal the depression by just taking pills if you’re using alcohol to numb it. That’s why psychoterapie závislosti, specializovaný přístup, který kombinuje léčbu závislosti a duševních poruch v jednom procesu is the only approach that truly helps. It’s not about willpower. It’s about understanding how trauma, shame, or early life experiences created a need to escape—and then learning healthier ways to cope. Methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, mentalization-based therapy, and somatic approaches are proven to break this cycle, especially when used together.
Many people think they need to get sober first before starting therapy. But that’s often the wrong order. If you’re depressed and drinking, therapy can help you reduce both at the same time. If you have PTSD and use stimulants to stay awake, therapy helps you process the trauma without needing the drug. This is where závislost a deprese, běžná kombinace, kdy jedna porucha zakrývá druhou a obě se navzájem udržují are treated as a single system, not two separate issues. Your therapist doesn’t just listen—they help you rebuild your nervous system, rewire your coping habits, and reconnect with yourself.
What you’ll find in the posts below are real, practical stories and tools from therapists who work with this every day. You’ll learn how to recognize when your mood swings are part of a deeper pattern, how to find a therapist who knows how to handle both addiction and trauma, and why some self-help methods actually make things worse. No theory without results. No jargon without clarity. Just what works—for people in the Czech Republic, facing real life, one step at a time.
