Addiction Is An Illness We All Share

About the Book

Have you ever asked yourself: “What are my coping mechanisms to deal with anger stress, fear, frustration, loneliness and pain?”, what are your escape or avoidance strategies? Are you overindulging with chocolates, exercise, supplements or medications, work? Addiction can be an illness we all share.

Addiction is a complex condition that affects not only the person struggling with addiction, but their friends, family, and community. It can be hard to treat and even harder to understand. This book breaks down this multi-faceted condition by addressing the problems that people with addiction face, how loved ones cope with those closest to them struggling with addiction and how communities and society are affected by this disease. To understand addiction is to understand a problem that affects us on an individual level and a broader level – addiction is an illness we all experience personally, among our community and in our society.

About the Author

"I have known Dr. Merav Nagel for more than 10 years. Throughout those years, I have observed a rare and undiminished passion to childhood education, specifically children with learning disabilities. Her two PhD's, post-doctoral fellowships, and the many publications she authored are a small testimony to the breadth and depth of her expertise ranging from various learning disabilities like dyslexia and attention deficit disorder to sports psychology, emotional eating, substance abuse, and stress management. She connects the dots between the biological functions, emotional states and learning challenges sprinkling a wealth of experience and wisdom along the way. I strongly support and recommend Dr. Nagel's work. I look forward to someday collaborating with Dr. Nagel in spreading the kind of knowledge educators and parents starve from knowing in their efforts to serve as the pillars for the generations to come."
