- The prevalence of addiction… To start out I want to talk about the concept of susceptibility. In fact, most people will not develop the disease of addiction within their lifetime. Only about 13-14% of people will develop the disease of addiction. By contrast, that means 86-87% of people will never get this disease. It’s not a matter of exposure. The susceptibility is about the other factors.
This series and information has been very helpful. That this quality content is available for free blows my mind. I genuinely thank the poster for making this series available. It’s been more helpful than I care to detail here. But, needless-to-say; It’s been a huge help in my personal life. Thank you!
Holy jeez...this series is wonderful! Thank you. This Doctor is awesome! I love that the science AND the psychology are acknowledged! Many times it's claimed to be one or the other...when in reality, it's always both!
I like how the video touches base on the psychosocial way of addiction. I like how the lecture was set up and how he let the people ask the questions to get clarification about the psychology of addiction.
Very important to understand the pervasiveness of addiction. This lecture a new perspective to that dependence.
Very interesting to to learn the psychology of addiction. You understand those afflicted much better!
A large % of addicts & alcoholics have a co-morbid psychiatric illness. Some examples are: Adhd, bipolar disorder, clinical depression, panic disorder, bpd etc. This is known as "dual diagnosis". Often this undiagnosed & untreated mental illness is the driving force behind the addiction. When you treat the mental illness you treat the addiction. When my ADHD finally got diagnosed and treated i stopped using recreational drugs & became a 'normal' drinker because I treated the underlying cause.
I imagine a ton of people who didn't feel comfortable with themselves don't have addiction. People with addiction don't realize the people who don't have addiction feel this way also. I don't really agree with this premise that people without addiction are comfortable with themselves or feel better or any of that.
13 % to 14 % of people develope drug addiction. 65% of american adults are overweight, to have an addiction you have to be suceptible
