Cracking the Code: Understanding Mental Disorders and Addiction with Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes

To effectively address mood or addictive disorders you need to have a model in mind of what causes them, just like to prevent or treat a cold, you have to know what causes it.
Ever wondered why some people develop mental health issues or struggle with addiction? In this episode of the Counselor Toolbox Podcast, Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes breaks down the science and theories behind these complex conditions. Whether you're a counselor, coach, or someone looking for answers, this episode offers a treasure trove of insights and practical tools. Dr.
Snipes starts by explaining why it's crucial to have a model in mind when addressing mental health or addiction—think of it like needing to know what causes a cold to treat it effectively. She then dives into various models that explain the development of these disorders. You'll hear about the biological model, which suggests that genetics can play a role, and the behavioral model, which focuses on learned behaviors.
There's also a look at social learning theory, environmental factors, and even combination models that blend multiple theories together. But it doesn't stop there. Dr. Snipes also discusses treatment and recovery, emphasizing the importance of considering an individual's entire enviro-biopsychosocial condition. This holistic approach ensures that all aspects of a person's life are taken into account for more effective treatment. The episode is packed with valuable information, making it a must-listen for anyone involved in mental health or addiction recovery.
