I think that's part of what keeps people from getting help. Is this idea of I'm less than because my brain's turned on me, right, you know, not realizing that there's really not a whole lot you can do to control that?
What happens when you mix science, personal stories, and a deep dive into addiction? You get an episode of 'The Couch Live' that’s both eye-opening and heartfelt. In this episode, hosts Lui Delgado and Trinity Phillips welcome their new intern Robbie, a Rollins College student with a passion for science. Together, they explore the genetic factors that can make someone more susceptible to addiction, focusing on the D2R2 receptor and how it influences brain function.
But the conversation doesn’t stop at biology. The tragic death of Chris Cornell, the legendary singer of Soundgarden and Audioslave, brings the discussion to a more somber note as they tackle the complex issue of suicide. How do depression and maladaptive behaviors tie into addiction? And why is it so hard for people to seek help? These are just some of the questions they grapple with.
This episode is a blend of scientific insight and emotional depth, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the multifaceted nature of addiction and mental health.
