pbFaces of Dual Diagnosis: A Canadian Perspective/b/ppStudies reveal that about 1 in every 350 people (perhaps 90,000 Canadians) are affected by iboth/i mental health problems iand/i addictions -- a condition referred to as "dual diagnosis" or DD. Although the impacts on society are considerable -- on our health system's resources; on our legal and social welfare programs; on employers, friends, neighbours and family; and on the individual him or herself -- remarkably little has been written in the popular media about this widespread problem. There is also inadequate awareness and training within the health, legal and social welfare systems, contends physician Robert B. Pereira, who specializes in treatment of DD clients./ppIn bFaces of Dual Diagnosis: A Canadian Perspective/b, Pereira explains the various types of mental illnesses and addictions which typically are found in DD. He discusses treatment regimes and offers case studies, based on real patient profiles, to demonstrate his contention that the most successful approach includes a holistic examination and treatment of the client's mental, physical and spiritual health. Pereira discusses his own life path and then presents a case for the creation of a Canadian Center for Policy Research on Dual Diagnosis. Dozens of DD-related resources are listed in the appendix./ppDr. Pereira practices medicine in Surrey, BC./ppiIn the heat of the mid-day sunbrI rest by the ocean under the shade of a large tree.brAt midnight,brwhere there is darkness all aroundbrbut the light shines just as brightlybr- I awaken -/ppA creature of darkness I have been.brThis I have not understood but now acceptbrLight, many things it isbrAn end to the darkness it cannot bringbrOf darkness is borne the light.br/i-- Robert B.
