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.

    Ana,
    Yes. I guess you can just call me “butter” because I’m on a roll!!!
    Sorry about your weather… you must be used to it! But the news says it rough!

    I has been a really rough 10 last days. Things are fixing themselves though, hormones are getting back to normal, engagement anniversarry has come and gone, Christmas is over and so is my dearly departed Mom’s b’day. Whew alot to swallow, life hits me all at once for some reason. Just to see how flattened of a pancake I can be! The older I get the more flattened I get!
    I hope your xspath got washed away for you!!! LOLOLOLOL!!
