![]() ![]() Gabor and I explore our current day mental health epidemic and discuss what the causes are and what the potential solutions might be. It’s almost ‘normal’ to have some sort of mental health dysfunction. The statistics are even more startling in North America. In the UK, one in six people over the age of 16 report moderate to severe depression eight million people have an anxiety disorder. We begin this conversation by discussing what’s behind the current mental health epidemic. In his most recent book, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness and Healing in a Toxic Culture, hejoins the dots between individual trauma and the pressures of modern-day living in a beautifully coherent and helpful way. Gabor believes that many of the physical and mental conditions doctors see can be traced back to our earliest experiences and subsequent environmental influences. His is one of the most important voices globally on health, trauma, stress, addiction, and childhood development. Gabor is a fellow physician, renowned author, speaker and friend. This episode will be his fourth appearance since we first met in 2018 and I cherish our meaningful, valuable conversations. For long-term listeners, Dr Gabor Maté needs little introduction. ![]()
