Addiction Is Not a Disease - TAP007

from The Needle and the Narrative · host Marc Burrows

The conventional thinking about addiction is wrong. Addiction is not a disease nor has it ever been one. Find out the evidence behind what addiction is and isn't from experiences in the Vietnam war to personal experiences in addiction to various drugs. The brain is flexible and I hope after listening to this podcast you will be too in understanding that addiction is not a static permanent brain state for most but a condition that can affect anybody under the right bio-psycho-social circumstances.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-needle-and-the-narrative--1518412/support.
