Addiction

"Some questions I like to ask people is, "Does it have you, or do you have it?" Is it driving you and your behaviours? Are you really leaning on it in a way that that's your medicine? I don't really see addiction as a problem. Addiction is the solution - whatever they're addicted to - to some underlying stressor." Ryan Soave LMHC a leading expert on addiction recovery.

Is addiction the biggest crisis we've ever faced? Can we do anything about it? In a candid conversation about addiction, Gabor Maté and Joe Polish define what addiction is and why it's actually a solution to pain.

Gabor Maté is a Hungarian-born Canadian physician with a background in family practice and a special interest in childhood development and trauma, and in their potential lifelong impacts on physical and mental health, including on ADHD, addictions and a wide range of other conditions.
