    This generally means it exists with some other condition at the same time. For example depression and anxiety often exist together, hence they are impacting on the person and both conditions impacting on each other. Another common Comorbid symptom is substance misuse, as people with depression may have both depression and substance misuse and both impact on each condition and ultimately the person.
