The myth of normal : trauma, illness & healing in a toxic culture / Gabor Mate and Daniel Mate - USA : Shannon Nicole Plunkett, c2022. - 562 pages ; 20 cm.
In this revolutionary book, renowned physician Gabor Maté eloquently dissects how in Western countries that pride themselves on their health care systems, chronic illness and general ill health are on the rise. Nearly 70 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug; more than half take two. In Canada, every fifth person has high blood pressure. In Europe, hypertension is diagnosed in more than 30 percent of the population. And everywhere, adolescent mental illness is on the rise. So what is really "normal" when it comes to health?
