This episode highlights a shift in how we view Substance Abuse and Mental Health issues. Previously, substance abuse was often seen as a personal failing, and mental health concerns were heavily stigmatized. Today, there's a greater understanding that both can stem from underlying medical conditions. This has led to more open conversations and a willingness to seek help. However, there's an ongoing debate about the role of medication in treatment. Some believe medication is crucial for recovery, while others emphasize addressing the root causes of substance use before medication can be effective.
