Julia and Matt discuss the increasing epidemic of both mental health disorders and the opiate crisis.  The question is why are so many people using drugs?  If we are really addressing mental health as a country, why is the epidemic growing?  Is the system working as designed or is it failing.  This will be a multi-part episode.
