Description
By Gabor Maté
Drawing on his years as a family physician and on the stories of his patients, Gabor Maté argues that emotion and chronic stress play a real part in the onset of physical illness, and examines the evidence linking them to conditions including breast and prostate cancer, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer’s disease.
He looks at how the nervous, immune and hormonal systems talk to one another, why the people least able to say no are often the ones who fall ill, and what it would mean for medicine to take that seriously. A book that asks patients to become advocates for their own health.
First published 2003
