Dr Gabor Mate interview with Steve Paiken on TVO’s The Agenda

Steve Paiken asks…

What’s the cause of adiction?

” In medicine it’s a mistake to try to attribe things to just one cause, but if there is one single, major, dominant cause; then the major cause in serious chemical addictions , is trauma:  childhood trauma.”

note

emerging findings show the same is true for psychosis and  other serious “mental illnesses”
