Author Talk and Reading with Timothy Parker, PhD, Sunday, May 17 at 4 pm, Whitehorse Public Library, free.

This presentation, based on Dr, Timothy Parker’s book Trapped by the High: What Addiction is and How it Changes the Brain will answer some key questions about addiction, such as how addiction changes the brain, and most importantly, why addiction changes the brain so that often recovering users show cognitive impairments. It will also explain drug related phenomena like drug tolerance, withdrawal symptoms and why recovering users are so vulnerable to re-establishing their habit. This event is suitable for anyone interested in or affected by addiction.
