The statement that MICA is overdiagnosed because the drug abuse is often overemphasized is not true. In fact, the co-occurrence of mental illness and chemical abuse (MICA) is a complex issue that requires careful diagnosis and treatment, and the challenges in diagnosing and treating such individuals are more often related to the complexity of their conditions rather than an overemphasis on one aspect.
