- The opioid fix : America's addiction crisis and the solution they don't want you to have / by Andraka-Christou, Barbara,1988-author.(CARDINAL)831871;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 241-267) and index.What's Nixon got to do with It? A history of medication-assisted treatment -- A strained relationship : Alcoholics Anonymous and medication-assisted treatment -- The perils and promises of treatment centers -- Methadone clinics : maintaining stigma for decades -- The elusive addiction-treating physician -- When criminal justice administrators make medical decisions -- Learning from other countries."The author blames part of the US opioid crisis on policy that espouses abstinence-focused treatment for people addicted to opioids. The author tells the stories of people in recovery and argues that medication-assisted treatment, or MAT, needs to be available to anyone suffering from opioid abuse. The interrelated barriers to MAT-from physicians who won't prescribe it, to drug courts that mandate counseling (and counselors who deride it), to politicians who ban it-demonstrate ill-advised narrow-mindedness in the author's view"--

- Anxiously ever after : an honest memoir on mental illness, strained relationships, and embracing the struggle / by Edwards, Clintauthor(CARDINAL)644054;
In this poignant memoir that is both laugh-out-loud funny, and sniffle inducing, Clint Edwards explores his lifelong struggle with mental illness in the shadow of his father's battle with the opioid epidemic and his mother's undiagnosed mental illness. From being diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder, to finding love, marriage, and having children, Clint explores what it means to find a healthy and balanced life with mental illness as your co-pilot. From the little hells of middle school and (frankly relatable) anxiety poops to running away from home at 14 and dealing with the death of a loved one, to learning that truly basic life lesson: you are not your parents, Clint touches on the crux of living moment to moment, struggle to struggle-without losing your ever-loving mind. Clint's candor, critical self-awareness, and refreshing sense of humor make for a one-of-a-kind read that might just make you feel less alone.

- What's eating us : women, food, and the epidemic of body anxiety / by Kazdin, Cole,author.(CARDINAL)860469;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 231-248).Introduction -- Rules and rebellion -- Love spells and diets are equally effective -- It works until it doesn't -- The standard of care (JK! There isn't one!) -- Over-what? -- Why doesn't body positivity feel better -- Recovery-ish -- The innovators -- The corners where no one's looking -- In this together -- (It happens when you) Stop trying -- Letting (yourself) go -- Epilogue."Blending personal narrative and investigative reporting, Emmy Award-winning journalist Cole Kazdin reveals that disordered eating is an epidemic crisis killing millions of women. Women of all ages struggle with disordered eating, preoccupation with food, and body anxiety. Journalist Cole Kazdin was one such woman, and she set out to see if the impossibility of her own full recovery from an eating disorder was all in her head. Interviewing women across the country as well as the world's most renowned researchers, she discovered that most people with eating disorders never receive treatment--the fact that she did made her one of the lucky ones. Kazdin takes us to the doorstep of the diet industry and research community, exposing the flawed systems that claim to be helping us, and revealing disordered eating for the crisis that it is: a mental illness with the second highest mortality rate (after opioid-related deaths) that no one wants to talk about. Along the way, she identifies new treatments not yet available to the general public, grass roots movements to correct racial disparities in care, and strategies for navigating true health while still living in a dysfunctional world. What would it feel like to be free? To feel gorgeous in your body, not ruminate about food, feel ease at meals, exercise with no regard for calories-burned? To never making a disparaging comment about your body again, even silently to yourself. Who can help us with this? We can. What's Eating Us is an urgent battle cry coupled with stories and strategies about what works and how to finally heal-for real."--
