It is a commonly held misconception that addiction is a choice.
Addiction is a chronic illness that robs us of our freewill
and changes our brains in ways that make quitting hard, even for
those who want to stop. Willpower and morality are not lacking in
someone who has had their choice taken away from them.
Researchers understand more now than ever just how deeply
substance use affects our brains. On this episode of the podcast
we will examine signs and symptoms of addiction, the stigma that
surrounds seeking treatment and hopefully bring awareness to a
sorely misunderstood chronic disease, even within the medical
community.

Suicide is a significant and tragic national health issue
that affects millions of Americans each year. In 2018, 48,344
people died by suicide in the United States, making it the
nation’s 10th leading cause of death and equating to about one
suicide death every 11.1 minutes (CDC, 2020; CDC, 2017).
Additional research estimates that 300-400 physicians commit
suicide per year.
In recognition of Suicide Prevention Week, we have decided to
release an episode on this sensitive topic. Suicide Prevention
Week is a call to action in the hopes to affect the lives of our
loved ones, our classmates, our patients, and our communities.
Throughout this week, we hope to learn how to #BeThere for one
another by increasing awareness of the signs of suicide, by
equipping you with the skills to talk about it, and by
spotlighting some higher-risk populations.
Please check out the MIND Instagram to learn more about the
events happening this week (@MIND_AT_TCOM).
