Editorial Reviews

Aided by powerful new diagnostic tools, scientists are making dramatic discoveries about how addiction affects the brain. In this program, Moyers goes into the laboratory to follow researchers engaged in charting an image of desire in the brain. We actually see images of a cocaine users brain as the drug takes effect, and a doctor explains how these scans reveal addiction as a chronic relapsing brain disease. Moyers observes a genetic researcher as he monitors a variety of factors that may determine who is likely to develop alcoholism.

5.0 out of 5 stars High Quality Addiction Education, June 11, 2009
This review is from: The Hijacked Brain [Moyers on Addiction] (VHS Tape)
The item was in as good as new considering it was filmed in the 1990s. The product was also delivered in a timely fashion. It gives the viewer insight into how the addicted mind has been affected by substance abuse leading to chemical dependency. Genetic factors as well as real life people with addiction share personal information on the video. Research and scientific findings are still up to date and an excellent resource for schools, mental health professions, and anyone that may find addiction is affecting their life in one form or another. I am of the school of believing it is better to know than to not...so take a look at this educational film.
