Guest: Dr Azhar Salleh, Consultant Psychiatrist

Substance use disorders are often already challenging to manage, so what happens when the person who needs help is an older adult, potentially with cognitive issues or even multiple comorbidities? In this episode of Healthy Ageing, we speak to consultant psychiatrist Dr Azhar Salleh to find out why we need to tackle the stigma on substance use disorders among older adults and what's most important when it comes to supporting our loved ones.
