In this episode Alyas Karmani (Imam, Therapist, Activist) and I discuss the oft misunderstood psychological phenomenon of addiction. Many of us are unaware of what addiction actually is, why it happens and how its impacting our communities. Worryingly society’s attitude to addiction is leading to already traumatised vulnerable people being ostracised, neglected and plunged further into despair.

In our conversation we cover a host of issues starting with what addiction is, how and why it manifests, who’s susceptible to it, whether or not addicts are responsible for their behaviour, how addiction presents in the Mulsim community, its long term implications and what the solution might be.
