Heart of the Matter with Elizabeth Vargas
[link removed]
Physician and author Carl Erik Fisher is both a doctor who specializes
in addiction treatment and a person who is very public about his own
struggles with substance use, who is currently in recovery himself.
With his highly praised book The Urge: Our History of Addiction, Dr.
Fisher embarks on a feverish search for answers to age-old questions:
What does it mean to struggle with addiction? Why is it so difficult
to move away from substance use, even once it has turned destructive?
Who is vulnerable to addiction and who is capable of recovery?
Tune in as Elizabeth sits down with Dr. Fisher to discuss the
human capacity for recovery, the institutionalized stigma surrounding
substance use disorders, the "double-edged sword" of
labeling addiction as a disease, and how recovery took him from
Bellevue Hospital's psychiatric ward to an assistant
professorship in the department of psychiatry at Columbia University.
