Addiction is a neurodevelopmental disorder. This needs to be addressed like a medical illness.
Ever wondered when a drinking habit crosses the line into addiction? This episode of 'Let's Talk Addiction & Recovery' dives into this crucial topic with host William C. Moyers and psychiatrist Dr. Stephen Delisi. They tackle the tricky question of how to identify alcohol use disorder (AUD), a term now used instead of alcoholism. Dr. Delisi breaks down the physical and psychological symptoms that signal a deeper problem, shedding light on how doctors diagnose AUD based on specific criteria.
The discussion doesn't stop there; it also covers the tough process of withdrawal and the most effective treatment options available today. You'll hear why addiction is considered a neurodevelopmental disorder and why it should be treated like any other medical condition. Moyers and Delisi stress the importance of early intervention, screening in primary care settings, and educating both medical professionals and families about AUD.
This episode offers valuable insights for anyone affected by alcohol addiction, whether personally or through a loved one. It's a conversation packed with information and empathy, aiming to provide help, healing, and hope.
