Substance-Use Disorder Unpacked: Zo and Fred's Honest Take

I really relate to the continuing to use despite negative consequences, and I think that's what a lot of people on the outside don't get: normies, as we call them in recovery.
Ever found yourself puzzled by the term 'Substance-Use Disorder'? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Mind on Recovery', host Zo teams up with Fred Debose to break down what this condition really means. They don't just stick to textbook definitions; they share their own experiences and struggles, making it a conversation that's both informative and relatable. From the compulsion to use substances despite harmful consequences to the impact on families, Zo and Fred cover it all.
They even touch on the often misunderstood DSM Five Criteria and the importance of proper terminology in understanding addiction. But it's not all heavy stuff. True to the podcast's style, they manage to sprinkle in some humor, making a tough topic a bit easier to digest. Whether you're dealing with addiction yourself, supporting someone who is, or just curious about mental health, this episode offers a fresh perspective.
