Addiction in Hollywood is a prominent part of the entertainment industry. In fact, addiction is everywhere. It's uncommon to find someone who doesn't have a connection to addiction, somehow—even if it's with the celebrities that we follow.

In this episode, our Shrinks discuss the public displays of drug addiction in Hollywood. From the recent death of Mac Miller, to the overdose of Demi Lovato, to Ben Affleck enrolling in rehabilitation, addiction is an openly reported topic in Hollywood.

Our panel of psychologists and addiction specialists are discussing what this says of our culture and how the idea of addiction has evolved over time.

  "[demi lovato] has been candid with addiction. even now, she is handling it with as much grace as we can expect from anyone with this illness."

– Dr. Emma Kate Wright

Being Human
In our Being Human segment, the Shrink Tank Podcast panelists discuss some of the latest findings on psychology in the news.

Our panel of Shrinks discusses these findings. Read the article that inspired the discussion here.
