The opioid crisis and the disease model of addiction: Is science sufficient for public support?
Counselor Magazine
Globally, opioids accounted for 55% of drug-related deaths in 2010 (Wakeman & Rich, 2018) and in the U.S. 116 people die from opioid overdoses every day (Seth, Scholl, Rudd, & Bacon, 2018). In a single year the death rate from heroin alone increased by 21%, and deaths due to synthetic opioids (e.g., tramadol and fentanyl) increased by 100% between 2015 and 2016 (Seth et al., 2018; Rudd, Seth, David, & Scholl, 2016).

5 ways to deal with online bullying
Entrepreneur

Macquarie University
Early life stress such as neglect and sexual, physical and emotional abuse has long been associated with drug addiction and mental illness later in life. Now, a comprehensive study led by Dr Sarah Baracz, from Macquarie University’s Department of Psychology, has linked drug abuse to changes caused by early life stress (ELS) in the body’s oxytocin system, which plays a pivotal role in the regulation of social behaviors and emotion.
