Heart of the Matter with Elizabeth Vargas

[link removed]

Like many families, Dr. Nora Volkow's had kept it a secret that
her grandfather had a substance use disorder and eventually committed
suicide. Today, as the director of the National Institute on Drug
Abuse at the National Institutes of Health, she speaks out regularly
about how important it is to share these stories to help other
families impacted by addiction.

Dr. Volkow sits down with Heart of the Matter host Elizabeth
Vargas to discuss the growing complexities of fentanyl-laced drugs;
the state of mental health in our nation; what the pandemic can teach
us about allocating resources to communities in need; and her deeply
personal story.
