Cadabam's Insights

Addiction: Gender Roles, Family Expectations & Changing Mindsets | Dr. Sunil M.R x Dr. Shreedevi A U

20 Nov 2025

Description

Addiction doesn’t exist in isolation — it’s a family and social issue. In this episode of Cadabam’s Insight, host Dr. Sunil M.R talks with Dr. Shreedevi A U from NIMHANS about the systemic impact of addiction. Together, they discuss how gender roles, family expectations, and cultural beliefs can either support recovery or make it harder. Dr. Shreedevi shares real experiences from her clinical work with families affected by substance use and explains why healing must involve the entire family system. 💡 Topics explored in this episode: How social stigma affects women seeking addiction treatment The emotional and developmental toll on children growing up in addictive households Why permissive and over-controlling parenting can both lead to substance misuse The gateway nature of tobacco and early exposure in adolescents How social workers bridge the gap between medical and emotional recovery The importance of cultural understanding in treatment planning This conversation helps us rethink addiction — not as personal failure, but as a social and psychological condition shaped by relationships and systems. #AddictionAwareness #MentalHealthPodcast #CadabamsInsights #FamilySupport #Psychiatry #SocialWork
