I love Dr. Maté's honesty in admitting he too was influenced by the prevalent prescription culture. Hopefully, his humility and example will inspire other medical practitioners to reconsider their approach.

I grew up without stability, homeless, sometimes no place to live other than a vehicle or tent. My mother was nuts, 6 kids by 5 men. Barely knew my dad. Him, my sister's dad, my youngest brother, 3 suicides. I'm injured, but no drugs, alcohol, tobacco. I need to belong to family.

I love that book - it’s the most relevant book on mental health and its influence on our physical health I’ve read

@DrGaborMate the left handed child analogy surrounding stigma is like comparing oranges with watermelons!So glad to hear Dr Maté say addiction is not a disease and it is rather the culmination of societal issues.Not enough time is taken getting to know patients childhood history

This was a very helpful interview to watch. I lost a sibling to suicide one year ago and have so many unanswered questions about what put her over the edge at that point in time in her life.

Dr. Mate is amazing!

So just curious as to how modern stress is different from ‘ancient’ stress - famine, disease, fire, so many more threats to life in the past. And the work to survive was dangerous and grueling.

The more we are in contact with, or affected by pschopaths and sociopaths, the more mentally ill we become ...

In other words people are living with no hope. For anything.

*I think it has to do with the myth of the stress of modern life. A myth that we have to keep up with our neighbors and those we follow in social media that are in fact, faking their own life.
