I found the 'Dual Diagnosis Treatment' course at Stanmore School of Business to be really useful for my work as a psychologist in Egypt. The course covered a lot of important topics, like the basics of dual diagnosis, treatment approaches, and how to work with patients who have both mental health and substance use disorders. I liked that the course included a lot of case studies and examples, which made it easier to understand the concepts and how to apply them in real-life situations. The instructors were also very knowledgeable and responsive to questions. One thing that I found particularly helpful was the section on cultural considerations in dual diagnosis treatment, which is really important in my context. The course materials were mostly good, although some of the videos were a bit hard to follow at times. Overall, I'm glad I took the course and would recommend it to others who are looking to learn more about dual diagnosis treatment.
