Addiction: it goes to the very root of the brain.

Tom Rees — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 05:52:55 +0000

You were probably discussing the subject at some point in the past when someone remarked “oh, he’s an addict” or “she’s an alcoholic” in an accusatory tone. If they had been talking about almost any other medical problem and said “he’s diabetic” or “she’s got cancer”, however, their tone would probably have been different — likely more sympathetic. This is because addiction is generally not viewed as a disease, unfortunately, but is perceived by many … Read More

Corey Haim – Dead, likely of a drug overdose. The disease of addiction and more…

I never knew who Cory Haim was until I saw the A&E Special – The Two Coreys. It was themed on these two extreme once A-level teen stars, Corey Feldman and Corey Haim. Feldman was married to a fairly normal and nice girl who couldn’t stand the fact that Corey Haim had moved into their house. Haim was a slob, the Feldman’s were neat. Haim had no respect for Feldman’s wife — he lived in … Read More

Bipolar Disorder and Depression – Seek help as soon as you have any of these symptoms

Tom Rees — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 18:25:13 +0000

I was adopted and later in life searched for my biological parents, who I eventually found. To my utter surprise, I found that my biological mother and father had had a “love fling” and I was the product of that, which occurred before they were married – forcing them to have me in secret and give me away.

The unseen link between depression, anxiety and addiction.

Just as a “normal person” — if there is such a person — might have come home after work that day and said “Honey, I just had a rough day”, or told a buddy that Friday “Man, I had a rough week”, there was a day I was saying to whomever I could find who would listen, albeit tongue in cheek, “Man, I’ve had a rough eight years”. But I meant it. Still hospitalized, I … Read More
