"नशा" may be a celebrated word in films or on-screen but in reality, it destroys families and at times - generations.

By and large, there are three types of people in society - one who never got addicted to anything, second who had some kind of addiction but overcame it, and third, who were trapped by addiction and only death could release them from it.

You know what? I feel, we all in life, have or had some or the other kind of addiction. Addiction as Dr. Narayan, our guest of this episode says, is not about habits, it's about use disorder. That means when we don't use things the way we should use them, it becomes an addiction.

People who are trapped in "Use Disorder" or addiction do exhibit some changes in their behaviors like major changes within their friend groups, unusual secretiveness, excessive need for sleep, unexplained irritability, aggression, or sometimes, mood swings.

Rather than hiding these behavioral changes under the carpet, we should talk about them and seek help from professionals so that we can save a life.

Do listen to today's episode where I have interacted with Dr. Narayan who is working as a Deaddiction Specialist in Mumbai for the last 8 years.

I hope it helps.

See you soon.
