Brain vs. Mind

The terms "brain" and "mind" have captivated human curiosity for centuries, representing distinct yet intertwined aspects of our existence. The brain, a marvel of biological engineering, serves as the physical substrate for mental processes. It comprises billions of neurons interconnected through complex neural networks, facilitating communication and information processing.

💡 Dr. Orion Taraban on "the Biz of Mental Illness"

The Source of the Problem

In this first episode of a two-part series, I discuss some of the uncomfortable realities about the West's epidemic of mental illness. First and foremost, it's important to understand the concept of reification, which is the process by which something that isn't really a thing becomes a thing in individual perception. Through reification, a constellation of symptoms becomes a mental disorder, and the sufferer of those symptoms is placed at further remove from individual responsibility.

The Business of Suffering

In this second episode of a two-part series, I discuss the economic incentives driving the West's epidemic of mental illness. Given certain regulatory requirements, it is generally easier for drug companies to receive FDA approval if their products treat disorders that do not already have a treatment of demonstrated efficacy. This motivates the proliferation of new disorders and an ever-widening definition of pathology. By definition, more and more people become mentally ill, who will be offered treatments that have already been created for them.
