Dr. Laura Bryan, a licensed professional counselor, explains that addiction is complex and influenced by various factors, including the type of substance and an individual’s circumstances.

She likens it to a therapist observing subtle changes in a patient, such as fuller lips, and recognizing the reasons behind them.

This serves as a reminder that even positive things can become harmful when taken to excess.

For Dr. Bryan, the focus is on thoroughly examining each case to understand the underlying issues.
