Despite affecting more Americans than diabetes, substance use is often left out of routine medical care. In this episode, NYU Langone Health's Jennifer McNeely, MD—a clinician investigator, primary care and addiction medicine physician—explains why that must change. From the surprising history behind addiction's exclusion from mainstream medicine to the innovative screening tools shaping the future of care, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone interested in addiction care and healthcare policy.Jennifer McNeely, MD, is an Associate Professor of Medicine and Population Health at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and co-director of the Section on Tobacco, Alcohol, and Drug Use.

On march 21 we're in the middle of Podcasthon charity event. It's an annual charity event which sees podcasters come together to highlight different organisations, their work, and their impact Drug use among young people is nothing new, but in recent years it has reached record levels, according to research published in 2022 by youth charity. They found that the number of 16 to 25 year olds taking drugs had increased by 50% since the previous year, reaching one in three. Despite being illegal, these substances are widely consumed. That's why some charities and associations have put in place harm reduction programs, to help minimise the risks associated with drug use at parties and festivals. An example of a charity doing that is Psycare UK, who have been operating for over a decade and offer services at events of all sizes. What are the main risks in party environments? How can these risks be reduced? How can you play a role in creating a more responsible party scene? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Show NotesThink back to how you made decisions growing up. Whether it was the clothes you wore, where you hung out, who your friends were, and even how you coped with the struggles you faced—who did you confide in?  Was it a friend, a sibling, a parent, a mentor or other trusted adult? It's likely that peer influence—or how much your personal circle can affect what you do and think— had a big impact.  Peer influence has the power to shape nearly every decision a young person makes, and social media often plays an outsized role in how those everyday conversations occur. Approximately 95% of youth ages 13 to 17 report using a social media platform—according to recent data reported by the Office of the Surgeon General.  Social media can also help researchers understand the context of certain health-related behaviors by offering real-time insights into trends, interactions and peer influences within online communities.  For example, it can shed light on the challenges faced by vulnerable groups, such as youth experiencing homelessness, who may turn to digital platforms for support, connection, or expression of their struggles.In this episode, Jordyn speaks with Associate Professor of Social Work Anamika Barman-Adhikari about how the social networks of young people experiencing homelessness can influence behaviors like substance use.Anamika Barman-Adhikari is an associate professor of social work at the University of Denver. Her experiences in research, policy and clinical services have collectively helped her to formulate an academic agenda, which is devoted to the prevention of HIV and substance use among high-risk youth and other vulnerable populations. Barman-Adhikari's research interests are broadly centered on understanding the social-contextual determinants of risk and protective behaviors among vulnerable populations, such as unhoused and minority youth.More InformationSubstance use and sentiment and topical tendencies: a study using social media conversations of youth experiencing homelessnessHarnessing Social Media to Identify Homeless Youth At-Risk of Substance UseIdentifying Marijuana Use Behaviors Among Youth Experiencing Homelessness Using a Machine Learning–Based Framework: Development and Evaluation StudySocial Media and Youth Mental Health – The U.S. Surgeon General's AdvisoryKey Substance Use and Mental Health Indicators in the United States: Results from the 2023 National Survey on Drug Use and Health - Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)

Microdosing involves taking very small amounts of psychedelic substances such as LSD or psilocybin, maybe seven to twelve percent of a regular dose. It's not enough to “trip out” but enough, proponents say, to yield very positive results, especially in terms of treating depression that hasn't responded well to other methods. The catalog of extensive clinical, scientific trials about the practice of microdosing is pretty limited but James Fadiman and Jordan Gruber have collected what scientific material there is plus a great number of anecdotal reports in their new book, Microdosing for Health, Healing, and Enhanced Performance. They tell us about the potential of microdosing for mental health, migraines, long covid, and athletics.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

Yet another survey has found that young people are drinking less alcohol and they're much more accepting of drugs than generations before them, according to the Times UK. But is the normalisation of drug use a slippery slope? We discuss further with Saoirse Hanley, Columnist for the Irish Independent.

In this raw and honest conversation, he details the struggles of navigating a deeply flawed foster care system, the emotional toll of parenting children with trauma, and the ongoing challenges of healing as a family.From dealing with corrupt social workers to searching for the children's fugitive parents, Joe takes us inside the reality of stepping up when no one else would. Now, with the adoption finalized, he and his wife continue to work through behavioral struggles, the lack of mental health resources, and the weight of carrying a story that is far from over.Despite everything, they remain committed to giving these kids a future filled with safety, stability, and love.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing shocking new allegations about his private life, with a former male sex worker stepping forward to detail claims of ritualistic sex parties, voyeurism, and heavy drug use. The accusations were published in a new Rolling Stone exposé, adding to the growing list of legal and reputational challenges for the embattled hip-hop mogul. A man using the pseudonym Nathan spoke to Rolling Stone about his alleged experiences with Combs, claiming he was frequently paid between $2,000 and $5,000 to participate in the music mogul's notorious "freak-off" parties. According to Nathan, Combs was meticulous about how these encounters unfolded. “I think he would try to regulate her pleasure,” Nathan said of Combs' role in directing the sessions. He described the experiences as “ritualistic,” where Combs would “choreograph every movement” until he became too intoxicated to continue. Nathan recounted meeting Combs in lavish hotel rooms in Miami, New York, and Los Angeles, where he was required to surrender his phone before undressing and using baby oil that had been warmed in hot water. “I don't use baby oil to this day because of all the baby oil I used to put on me,” he shared. “The hotel rooms were freezing. The baby oil was warm, so if you were cold and your clothes were locked in another room, the baby oil kept you warm.” Nathan also described Combs' alleged voyeuristic tendencies, claiming that the Bad Boy Entertainment founder would sometimes pretend to leave the room but secretly watch from the shadows. “He would pretend to leave the room but, like, go around the corner and crawl in the room on the floor and peek around the corner or use the mirrors,” Nathan alleged. “Really creepy sh*t, obviously. Because it's, like, your girlfriend. Why do you even have to do that?” Drug use was also a significant part of the parties, according to Nathan, who claimed Combs was particularly fond of ecstasy and ketamine. He alleged that these substances fueled Combs' sexual compulsions, making him “a sex addict” and an “obsessive drug addict.” Nathan even suspects he was unknowingly drugged at one of the events, describing a "horrible reaction" that left him disoriented. “This stuff had me so out of my mind,” he said, describing Combs as “entrenched” in his addictions. Combs' legal team has worked to present him as a changed man, particularly in light of the 2016 incident where he was seen abusing then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. His lawyers pointed to his willingness to return to New York despite knowing he would be arrested as proof of his supposed "reformation." Nathan, however, strongly rejected that narrative. “It's bullsh*t,” he stated. “He's not reformed. He just wanted to get out of jail. He's the same person.” While Combs' legal team has declined to comment on Nathan's allegations specifically, his lead attorney, Marc Agnifilo, claimed that they had already interviewed multiple male sex workers connected to the mogul. “I have asked all the questions I could think of: Was anybody too drunk? Was anybody too high? Did anyone express any hesitation? Was there the slightest inkling that possibly, possibly the woman wasn't consenting?… No. No. No. No,” Agnifilo said. The latest accusations come as Combs remains in custody at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center, facing serious charges including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution. #DiddyScandal #SeanCombs #RollingStone #MusicIndustry #SexTrafficking #CelebrityNews #BreakingNews Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
