Ep 195: Is Mental Illness in Our Genes? (ft. Patrick Hahn, Ph.D.)

In this episode Dr. Ben welcomes Patrick Hahn, Ph.D., (from https://psychintegrity.org/patrick-hahn-ph-d/:) a free-lance writer and independent scholar with a long-standing interest in iatrogenic harm and the medicalization of everyday life. His first book Madness and Genetic Determinism: Is Mental Illness in Our Genes? explored how genetic determinist views of so-called “mental illness” have obscured the well-established role of childhood sexual abuse and other adverse childhood experiences in the genesis of those conditions and was followed by his most recent release, Obedience Pills: ADHD And The Medicalization Of Childhood.  Dr. Hahn is an Affiliate Professor of Biology at Loyola University Maryland.Weekly Newsletter:https://clinic.us14.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=2f823d609f65aa0fe3acd6421&id=5cb4d6bbd8Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/achievewellnessclinic/-The Designed To Heal Podcast is intended to provide encouragement for the listener but is for entertainment purposes only and NOT a substitute for proper treatment or to be used in any legal capacity whatsoever.
