Addiction is often a symptom, not the whole story
Original: What families overlook: Addiction is often a symptom, not the whole story
A US news outlet is highlighting what families commonly miss about addiction: that substance use frequently masks underlying struggles such as trauma, mental illness or chronic stress, rather than being the root problem itself. The piece urges families to look beyond the visible behaviour and address the deeper causes, a framing that aligns with wider public debate about treating addiction as a health issue rather than a moral failing.
Why now: Ongoing public interest in reframing addiction as a mental health issue rather than a standalone problem.
