Introduction

Why do more people suffer from mental illness now than ever before? In this episode, Dr. Gabor Maté and Jeff discuss the premise that disease in our society is actually a normal consequence of a toxic social system driven by short-term profits over long-term human health.

In this episode we cover: 

•  The four psychological needs of healthy children
• Why attachment and authenticity are so important
• How your emotions and immune system are connected
• The social and psychological roots of disease
• Obstacles and pathways to healing
