She sheds light on dual diagnosis, where individuals face both mental illness and substance abuse. It's a tough road, but understanding the connection is the first step to recovery. Dr. Crawford breaks down the symptoms—like depression, paranoia, and legal troubles—and explains why treating both conditions together is crucial.
With a mix of personal anecdotes and expert advice, she offers a roadmap for navigating this challenging journey. From detox to therapy, she covers the full spectrum of treatment options, emphasizing the need for strong support systems. Tune in to gain valuable insights and take that first step towards a healthier, sober life.
