Another rather disconcerting dalliance with regard to addiction is its bedfellow of mental illness.
A handful of criteria had been recorded as to be the sole cause of a mental disorder - brain injury,
trauma sustained in a family setting, excessive bullying or worse yet . . . A curse of genetics.
What is even more concerning is the after-effects that prolonged use of drugs and alcohol is a direct contributor to the development of such disorders NL. Anxiety, psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia, and even bipolar disorder.
But . . . It’s never a death sentence.
Tim Lodgen, the warrior of this week is a sterling example.
Tim has been through the wringer in this life, but after a particularly dramatic event, the man has made
it his mission to not become another statistic, but rather a statement, shining light, and an axiom
for those who are afflicted and cannot fathom reaching out.
We’ll discuss his journey from then until now, how fitness plays a pivotal role and Tim will bust
some myths and fallacies about mental health afflictions that float about society today.
Tim is also a featured speaker that will take to the stage of the inaugural Empower 2 Recover
A conference that is due to premiere in British Columbia this coming November.
He’s coming to DIS Live . . . And we want to hear his story.
You’re invited to join us. Hope you enjoyed another inspiring episode!
