Things We Got Wrong20 Jun 2023

This is Your Brain on Drugs & Marriage

We cover Brain Candy episodes 40 and 41 today, which includes discussions on mental health, drugs, and marriage. We start with a reflection on mental health and why there is a "stigma" sometimes about mental health, and the ways our brains can sabotage us. We learn which addictions are the most corrosive to our brains and we express our frustration about the limits on what we know about CTE and other injuries. Episode 41 featured Sarah's then husband, and she reveals what it was like listening back to that episode. We discuss an outburst he discussed and Susie shares why part of her understood his explosive reaction to Sarah's admonition about his sugary diet. Sarah describes their dynamic, and how the episode validated her choices and evolution over time. We also consider whether our first marriages were something "we got wrong," and whether that is inherently true if there is a divorce.
