Answer:

d-The client most likely has a dual diagnosis since she has both a substance dependence and depression.

Explanation:

What is dual diagnosis?

An individual with dual diagnosis shows both a mental disorder and an alcohol or drug situation. These situations is seen in unison more often. Nearly half of people who shows a mental disorder do express substance use disorder at a point or the other. The interrelationship of the two situation can worsen both.

Why do substance use disorders and mental disorders is often seen in unison?

Thou they occur together, but it can't be said that one prompt the other, even if one started earlier as in our case study.

There are three reasons showing why they occur in unison:

•Generally, risk factors may lead to both mental disorders and substance use disorders. Such as genetics, stress, and trauma.

•Mental disorders can lead to drug use and substance use disorders. Using drugs or alcohol to find relief (self-medication). This could lead to addiction.

•Substance use and addiction can contribute to the occurrence of a mental disorder. Causes brain changes.

What are the treatments for dual diagnosis?

Individuals with dual disorder should treat both conditions. For the treatment to be operative, there is need to abstain from alcohol or drugs. Treatments may involve behavioral therapies and medicines. Also, support groups importance for emotional and social support cannot be neglected.

Why would you probably not see a volcano on the east coast of the United States?
DerKrebs [107]

D. There are no major fault lines or hot spots close by.

Why?

Because "They don’t occur anywhere else other than along the Ring of Fire" is incorrect, the Ring of Fire is just a place where many volcanoes are.

Because "The composition of the rock in that area is not conductive to eruptions." they type of rock doesn't play that much of a role in the formation of volcanoes

Because "The magma doesn’t have enough silica or gas to form an explosive eruption." It isn't a gass that is found, it is the build up of pressure from fultlines moving and things on the inside of the earth.
