More and more children are being diagnosed with disorders such as ADHD and autism. Dr. Gabor Maté of Canada says that the root cause is that the nurturing environment necessary for proper child development has collapsed in America, leading to children who are emotionally detached and have difficulty controlling their impulses. This 60-minute interview is fascinating—be sure to watch it all.

Or, to save time, just scroll down below the video options to read the transcript. (Thanks to Skylar for the suggestion.)

Dr. Gabor Maté on ADHD, bullying and the destruction of American childhood, on DemocracyNow.org.

    Me too. It’s been a fairly recent development.
    I want ‘my life’ back – i don’t get my old one back, but i want to move forward.

    only reason to watch is to mess with her. but watching messes with me more. the payoff just isn’t there, and I NEED to concentrate on my life.

    Soimnotthecrazie1,
    Yep, the old smear campaign they MUST do so they (1) get all the attention and pity (2) While taking the bad behavior off themselves and onto us. I do think that the new friends eventually like me get “light shines on marblehead”lol.

    EB usually bugs out for awhile and then comes back. I just went off and finished my dishes, and danced around the kitchen a bit.
