I’ve spent the past 6+ months feeling appalled and helpless at my country’s role in Israel’s war, and the hysterical response to anti-war advocacy within the US. The best way I’ve found to make sense of things—and to limit my doom-scrolling—is to read a lot of books. 🧵📚

The booming drugs business that we describe is just one aspect of a much deeper crisis, of which we see many signs region-wide. By the same token, mental health is becoming less of a taboo. We’d like our own research to be part of this rising awareness. synaps.network/post/syrian-dr…

Discussions of Syria's booming drug trade mostly focus on those who profit from it. Many more, however, are those who suffer. Addiction has spilled from Syria's battlefield into schools, nightclubs, and homes. Our latest tells this side of the story synaps.network/post/syrian-dr…
