As Sick as Our Secrets

The stresses of the world of medicine led to severe depression and burnout. That stress, coupled with the repression of childhood trauma, launched Farber into using Xanaxā€”which eventually gave way to street drugs such as cocaine and crack. Fearful of discovery, he tried to lead a double life but eventually, his secrets were exposed. After several unspeakable tragedies, Farber found himself on his knees with nearly nothing left. As Sick as Our Secrets is a disgraced doctorā€™s story out of the hell of addiction and back into the light.
