| Concurrent
Disorder refers to any
psychiatric condition that may
occur in a person with addiction
or in recovery from addiction.
This self report
Symptom Inventory will provide
your doctor with basic information
about your emotional symptoms
- and that may or may not indicate
a concurrent psychiatric disorder.
Please keep
in mind that many emotional symptoms
may occur during early recovery
from addiction. The mind can feel
like a chaotic place - feelings
may be raw and exaggerated. Concentration
and sleep difficulties are common.
These and other
symptoms of Post Acute Withdrawal
Syndrome may gradually resolve
over time - with abstinence from
intoxicating substances - and
with adherence to your Personal
Program of Recovery on a day to
day basis.
Medication treatment
for the emotional and mental symptoms
that commonly occur during early
recovery - may not always be necessary
or advisable. This is an important
decision to make with a health
counselor who knows you well -
and who knows about the conditions
of addiction and early recovery.
You may open
and print the Concurrent Disorder
Symptom Inventory from the 'print'
item on the top of this screen.
Place a check
mark beside each statement that
describes your experience.
Do not checkmark
any statement that does not describe
you.
During interview
with your doctor or counselor,
you will have opportunity to discuss
your symptoms in greater detail.
There is space on the right hand
side of each page for you and
your doctor to make notes.
We suggest that
you not write your name on the
Symptom Inventory until you are
in the office of your doctor or
counselor. Once completed, you
may leave this form to be included
within your clinical record of
care in their office.
SupportNet Symptom
Inventories are not diagnostic

This form is intended only to
