Co-Occurrence - What is the difference between coexisting and co-occurring?
Answer
When a person has more than one medical illness at the same time, it is considered a co-occurring or coexisting disorder. The phrase "coexisting" is preferred within a recovery setting, however "dual diagnosis" and "co-occurring disorders" are other ways to describe this idea.
