We have all had bouts of darkness, despair and anxiety. In today’s world pharmaceutical companies tell us they can make it better with just one pill... But many people find themselves more lost, less happy and addicted to prescription drugs on a never ending psychiatric hamster wheel. So the question becomes, "Is what I’m feeling a mental disorder, or just a part of life?" This episode of The WASP is a powerful conversation that everyone should hear before they or a loved one starts the long road of treating mood disorders with prescription medication. Meet Matt Samet, rock climber, editor of Climbing Magazine, and author of his chilling memoir Death Grip, in it he shares how his introduction to Benzodiazepines, made him an addict, stole 12 years of his life and left him for dead- all while under the care of his doctors.
