A subtle line: societal pressure, mental ill health and addiction

True creatives are natural problem solvers, but how much of our increasingly challenging world is affecting young creatives? This episode begins with the dichotomy of acceptance, failure, fear of being labelled, stigmatised or rejected, resulting in the suppression of emotions which often leads to various forms of self-medication namely through drugs and alcohol. We discuss the hidden dangers of alcohol and substance abuse where personal views are shared on societal pressures which are perpetuated and glamorised throughout creative sectors.
