Is what we call “normal” actually healthy—or just common? In this powerful episode, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen sit down with world-renowned physician and bestselling author Dr. Gabor Maté to explore how trauma, stress, and childhood experiences shape our health, addictions, and even our immune system. Dr. Maté explains why depression and anxiety aren’t simply “diseases,” how suppressed emotions harm the body, and why addictions are not about the drug or behavior—but about unhealed pain. You’ll hear deep insights on boundaries, the hidden costs of saying “yes,” why so many of us struggle in silence, and how true healing begins with connection. This conversation will challenge everything you think you know about mental health—and give you hope for change.
