I saw a doctor that, um, that you know, did the testing on me and I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, um and depression. And I mean it, it takes work, but it is amazing how, um you know, it just can really make such a big difference in terms of just being okay in the world.
Ever wondered what it takes for a family to navigate the turbulent waters of addiction and come out stronger on the other side? In this heartfelt episode of 'Radio Rehab with Dayna Keyes', Dayna sits down with Nic and David Sheff, the father-son duo whose story inspired the book and movie, 'Beautiful Boy'. David, the author of 'Beautiful Boy', shares his perspective as a parent watching his child struggle with addiction.
Nic, now almost a decade sober, opens up about his own battles, documented in his books 'We All Fall Down' and 'Tweak'. The conversation dives deep into the emotional and psychological impact of addiction on families. They discuss the evolution of addiction treatment and the importance of addressing mental health issues alongside substance abuse.

David provides insights into the challenges parents face when trying to support a child through such a difficult time. Despite the heavy subject matter, the discussion is filled with hope and resilience. Dayna's thoughtful questions guide the conversation, making it both engaging and enlightening. Tune in to hear how this family found strength in community support and self-reflection, and learn why persistence and letting go of what doesn't work are key elements in the recovery process.
