Substance Abuse and Addiction

Featuring Dr. Mary Ross, PhD, RPsych

Duration: 1 minute

Substance abuse is a big issue in our society today.

It can take all sorts of forms: a drug addiction, alcohol addiction, sex addiction, gambling, shopping, or overspending addiction. How you know you have a problem with some kind of substance abuse or addiction is whether it's actually causing you some distress or harm.

Whether it's actually causing distress amongst your family, or friends, or colleagues, or whether it's gotten in the way of your daily functioning or your ability to work.

A psychologist can help you understand what thoughts and feelings might be going on that are driving you to use substances to cope. They can help you find other ways to deal with the difficult feelings, and learn different ways to think and behave to deal with problems.

If you have questions about substance abuse and addiction, contact a local psychologist.
