While it is recommended to consume a few ml of alcohol for our health, developing alcoholism is a growing problem for many of us. Over time, this consistent alcohol binge can lead to more severe health conditions. It could also result in alcoholism which is hard to overcome.
In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Stephan Neff, anesthetist, and author of the book My Steps to Sobriety. He is also an alcoholic in recovery. We will also discuss the state of the healthcare system from a healthcare provider's point of view.
He also shares his experience in dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and alcoholism - both from a patient and doctor's perspective and the lessons he has learned the hard way.
