Plot summary

One in five Americans are diagnosed with mental illness every year. Suicide is the second most common cause of death in the US for youth aged 15-24, and kills over 800,000 people globally per year. Drug overdose kills 81,000 in the US annually. The autoimmune disorder epidemic affects 24 million people in the US alone. What is going on? The interconnected epidemics of anxiety, chronic illness and substance abuse are, according to Dr. Gabor Maté, normal - but not in the way you might think.

surprising yet well-thought out information

It's an overview of Gabor Mate's work and research. I really appreciated the film. I would like to see more in-depth pieces on the different aspects of trauma that were covered here, but that would take hours and hours, obviously. Connections were made that surprised me with new knowledge, and I did feel that I learned a lot. I did appreciate the range of people who were given voice, especially including the prisoners. That aspect of the film made a strong impression, and was a powerful statement on how troubled people enduring trauma are disregarded in our society until it' has become a crisis, for the individual and for society. I would like to see the film again, as a lot of information was presented. Since it focused on several individuals, groups and aspects of trauma, going rather rapidly, I feel that the information needs to be allowed to soak in more. It is, after all, an overview.

Interesting perspective

I liked it, but it lacked something. I don't know if it should have blown me away like the others, but it did raise new questions which I will use. Nevertheless, I recommend it! Well done!
