Trauma, PTSD and Addiction

In the episode of Cracking Addiction, we are joined by Dr Daniel Pham an Addiction Psychiatrist working at Turning Point who discusses with us the differences and similarities between Addiction Medicine and Addiction Psychiatry. We discuss the term dual diagnosis and the interplay between mental health and substance use disorders. This episode focuses mainly on trauma, PTSD and its interplay with substance use disorders and we discuss how trauma occurs and how to diagnose trauma and PTSD. We also explore integrated care and how to manage patients with co-occurring trauma or PTSD and substance use disorders and we touch on trauma informed care and how to approach taking a trauma history.Discussions and comments in our videos are for informational purposes only and should not replace the advice of your medical professional.
