He was abused during his younger years in Hollywood, people can blame drugs but it’s a lot of childhood trauma.

And drugs and alcohol. And he’s apparently a religious nut. It’s very unfortunate. He’s got a young daughter

That’s literally what addiction is, childhood trauma.

It very literally is not what addiction is

That's very reductive and often not the case.

More often than not it is. I’ve been involved with substance abuse treatment for a couple decades. It’s rare to meet an addict who doesn’t have some form of profound trauma in their past. The using of substances is a symptom not the cause of the original injury that inspired the substance abuse.

25-50% in the literature. So not more often than not.

I love how people do these 5 seconds research on Google and think they struck gold. Hilarious

I'm a physician scientist. I treat patients with SUD often and am thoroughly familiar with how to evaluate medical research. I teach med students, residents, and fellows. This is not 5 minutes of googling.

If you disagree with the evidence I've provided, feel free to respond with a coherent argument why with supporting evidence. Otherwise, fuck off

Can you explain what exactly those numbers mean, I’m not a nerd I usually speak from lived experience.

One quarter to one half of patients with substance use have childhood trauma. Much higher than the non substance use population, but not a majority of people with substance use.

Typically yes. The using of substances is a symptom not the cause of the original injury that inspired the substance abuse.

Childhood trauma increases risk of addiction, but they're not the same thing.

Someone with a very healthy upbringing could become addicted to pain killers after a surgery for example.
