Dr. Jerry Law, Executive Director of The Meadows, joined FOX10 to discuss:
- The growing crisis of midlife addiction
- Why this trend is alarming to professionals: unlike younger adults, midlife and older adults often go undiagnosed or untreated, as symptoms are mistaken for normal aging or stress.
- The role of emotional trauma and mental health: addiction in midlife can be caused by unresolved emotional trauma, depression, and anxiety.
- How families can help: compassionate conversations and professional support can make a difference.
