Kids and Addiction: A Conversation with Dr. Illyan Ivanov on The Alan Charles Show
“Removing stigma, I think, would be essential for any kind of progress in that area, and removing stigma would help family members to reach out for help for their loved ones or kind of empower them to bring their loved ones to some kind of treatment before things really go down the drain in a very serious way for people kind of rich.”
What unique hurdles do kids face when trying to stay substance-free? Alan Charles dives into this critical topic with Dr. Illyan Ivanov, an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine. This episode is a treasure trove of insights, focusing on the challenges youths encounter and the stigma that often surrounds addiction. Dr. Ivanov brings his clinical expertise to the table, discussing everything from substance use disorders to ADHD and mood and anxiety issues in young people.
One key point he emphasizes is the damaging impact of stigma. Removing it can help families seek the necessary treatment before things spiral out of control. The episode also highlights ongoing research aimed at providing answers and effective treatments for adolescents grappling with addiction. If you're looking for a conversation that's both enlightening and deeply supportive, this episode is a must-listen.
