🧬 Genetics & Environment: Understanding Substance Use Disorders 🌍 Addiction is not a choice—it’s a complex medical condition influenced by both genetics and environment. In this video, Dr. Trupti Patel, Maryhaven’s Chief Medical Officer, explains how some individuals are exposed to substance use from an early age, while others develop addiction after being prescribed medication due to an underlying genetic predisposition. Some individuals grow up in environments where substance use is normalized, while others are prescribed medication for a legitimate condition and unknowingly have a genetic vulnerability to addiction. No matter how it begins, addiction is a disease, not a choice. Understanding these risk factors is crucial in breaking the stigma and building pathways to treatment, recovery, and hope. By recognizing addiction as a treatable disease, we can replace stigma with compassion, education, and evidence-based care. 📲 Watch now & share to spread awareness! #addictionawareness #columbusohio #addictionrecovery #addictionsupport #substanceusedisorder

Got to interview Abdullah Mahmood from Maryhaven, Inc. about his experience treating gambling disorder as a clinician in the space.
