Cultural shame and deliberate, assimilated disgrace are, sadly, very normal and are staggeringly hazardous. At the point when we treat psychological well-being and substance use problems as decisions that can be controlled instead of as ailments that can be overseen and treated, we detach those affliction and make a climate of fault and disgrace.
