Dr. Wiplove Lamba, an addiction psychiatrist, and Jean-Paul (JP) Michael, an addictions case manager and former addict, continue their deep dive into the perspectives of psychiatry model. But they don’t just talk theory—they show you how it works in practice. In this engaging discussion, Wip and JP shift the conversation from abstract concepts to real-world application.
They even perform a mock psychiatric assessment with a standardized patient to illustrate their points. This isn't just about ticking boxes; it's about understanding the full picture of a patient's biological and social context. The episode tackles the challenges of implementing these psychiatric models in a healthcare system that’s often overstretched.

Whether you're a healthcare professional, someone struggling with addiction, or a loved one trying to understand more about this complex issue, this episode is packed with insights that can make a real difference.
