Humans have always used drugs, but current level of drug abuse could indicate a bigger problem that we’re driving people into addiction. What’s the connection between the increase in chronic diseases, mental illness and drug addiction in our society today? On this edition, Dr. Gabor Maté talks about the relationship between mind and body health – and what the rise of capitalism has done to destroy both.


Gabor Maté is a Hungarian-born Canadian physician who specializes in the study and treatment of addiction and is also widely recognized for his unique perspective on Attention Deficit Disorder and his firmly held belief in the connection between mind and body health.

A sought-after speaker and seminar leader on these topics, he is a regular columnist for the Vancouver Sun and the Globe and Mail and has authored four books:
In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters With Addiction
Hold on to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers
(co-authored with developmental psychologist Gordon Neufeld)
When the Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress
Scattered Minds: A New Look at the OriginsHealing of Attention Deficit Disorder.
The latter two have become bestsellers, translated into nine languages.
