A recent session was conducted by Dr. Mantosh from Fortis Healthcare, focusing on the multifaceted aspects of substance abuse, framed within the bio-psycho-social model. The discussion emphasized that substance abuse is not solely a matter of personal choice but a complex interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors. From a biological perspective, Dr. Mantosh explained how genetic predisposition, brain chemistry, and neurobiological changes influence vulnerability to addiction. The psychological dimension addressed factors such as coping styles, emotional regulation, mental health conditions, and personality traits that may contribute to substance dependence. The social aspect examined the influence of family dynamics, peer relationships, societal norms, and environmental stressors in shaping an individual’s risk and recovery process.
