Episode 8: Drugs Drugs Drugs

Send us Fan MailJulia and Matt discuss the increasing epidemic of both mental health disorders and the opiate crisis.  The question is why are so many people using drugs?  If we are really addressing mental health as a country, why is the epidemic growing?  Is the system working as designed or is it failing.  This will be a multi-part episode.Referenced:Trends in Pregnancy and Childbirth Complications in the U.S. (bcbs.com)https://weberrenew.org/https://www.wpri.com/target-12/ri-prepares-to-open-first-safe-injection-site-amid-onslaught-of-overdose-deaths/ Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/hartzmann/no-time-to-dieLicense code: S4CEQWLNQXVZUMU4Artwork and logo design by Misty Rae. Special thanks to Joanna Roux for editing help.Special thanks to the listeners and all the wonderful people who helped listen to and provide feedback on the episode's prerelease.  Please feel free to email Matt topics or suggestions, questions or [email protected]
