This week on Wellbeing, we are again talking with Professor John B. Saunders about Alcohol Use Disorder (formally known as alcoholism). His career as a clinician, service director, researcher and academic in the alcohol and drug field extends back over 40 years. In this episode, Prof. Saunders talks about the stigma towards those effected by Alcohol Use Disorder, why people turn to alcohol, the mental and physical diseases that can develop because of Alcohol Use Disorder, and who is most likely to develop an alcohol use disorder. Tune in next week to hear a former alcoholic share her story.

We would love to hear from you! If you would like to suggest topics, give us feedback, or just say hi, you can contact us on [email protected].
