Co-mo
idity is a mental health condition which is considered as an occu
ence of one or more disorders that can be physical or mental in nature. The illness can occur in the child at the same time or at different times, in the same child or in adolescents. The concept was first introduced by Alvan Feinstein in the year 1970, this situation not only has assessment and treatment implications but also has training implications (R.C.Kessler, 2015 ). Co-mo
idity of mental disorder is a common problem and is associated with poor treatment outcome and severe illness (Teesson, 2003 ). In order to keep the situation under control many laws and rules are being made by the government’s from time to time.
Co-mo
idity is a serious issue and it produces significant problems for sequential or parallel treatment models. Reports state that top cases of disease burden among the young Australians is subjugated by mental and substance use disorders (Wu, 2014). In past 10 years Australia has began to build internationally prominent evidence based in como

idity and develops an understanding of ecological approach to mental health and the social factors associated with these conditions. The health promotion programs associated with these conditions. The key policies, debates and legislations in Australia associated with this issue are discussed in detail.

Studies explain that many young people also refuse to take medical health seriously or are afraid of revealing their medical condition due to the fear of being put in the foster care (Posselt, 2014 ). The young people who live in the streets are also quite vulnerable to victimization, youth are also in urgent need of treatment like the older adults who have been dealing with chronic health issues and addition for long time. The young people may just appear healthier but may be victim of chronic health conditions. Providing secure and safe housing for the young people can be a corner stone for addressing the treatment.

Substance abuse disorders and of co-mo
idity
