Depressive disorder, anxiety, all of these things aren't a pendulum right. So we would never suggest some kind of a step-down process.
What happens when mental health issues and substance abuse collide? In this episode of Addiction Today, host Russ Morley sits down with Brad Sylvain, the executive director at Origins Behavioral Health Care, to unravel the intricate connection between co-occurring disorders and substance abuse. Inspired by the tragic suicides of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, the conversation sheds light on how intertwined mental health and addiction can be.
Sylvain stresses the importance of comprehensive patient evaluations that go beyond superficial drug screenings. He argues that understanding the root causes—often hidden beneath layers of external symptoms—is crucial for effective treatment. The discussion also highlights the need for specialized care tailored to individuals grappling with both mental health issues and addiction. If you or someone you know is struggling with these dual challenges, this episode offers a compassionate and insightful look into seeking the right kind of help.
