      There is a lot of evidence, although not conclusive, that a lot of misuse of drugs, both prescription and illicit, is triggered by underlying conditions that haven’t been treated or dealt with, like chronic pain or mental health issues. So I think that if more were done to care for patients holistically and spend more time with them, it could go some way to tackling the issue.
