I am a professional writer mainly in the fields of mental health, addiction, and living in recovery. I attempt to stay on top of the latest news in the addiction and the mental health world and enjoy writing about these topics to break the stigma associated with them.
In 2014, for instance, the NPR reported that there were 650,000 war vets who were being treated for opiate addiction. These soldiers are not unfamiliar with painkillers as they were these.
