About the author
Anna Lembke is an American psychiatrist and professor at Stanford University School of Medicine whose clinical and academic work focuses on addiction and the treatment of substance-use disorders.
Drug Dealer, MD examined prescription-drug systems, while Dopamine Nation uses patient histories and a pleasure-pain framework to discuss compulsive behaviour in environments where potent rewards are readily available.
Where to start
Start with Dopamine Nation for Lembke’s general introduction to addiction and abundance; it is educational reading, not a replacement for individual medical care.
