>but we shouldn't act like prescribers are blameless either.

I don't think anyone here is saying that. What's interesting is no matter what doctors do, 11% of the global population is addicted to drugs. I don't think prescribers can influence that. Psychologists can, but most drug addicts suffer from avoidant personality disorder, which is regarded as the single most difficult psychological disorder to work with.



That's interesting about avoidant personality disorder. I wasn't aware of that, but it does fit a lot of the addicts I know.
