Women with co-occurring addictive and mental disorders: An emerging profile of vulnerability.
This will show how women throughout the years have been victims to many forms of abuse that range from sexual, physical, emotional and in some situations, even death. These women often struggle with ongoing mental health issues related to PTSD and substance abuse.
Posttraumatic stress disorder and substance abuse relapse among women: A pilot study.

Do individuals who suffer with PTSD have an increased risk of developing co-occurring use disorders versus those who do not suffer with PTSD?
b. Review of the Literature:
PTSD with SUD, is defined as two disorders or illnesses that are present in one person simultaneously or sequentially, and is known as comorbid. This implies that the two interact together to affect the outcome of both.
