Psychology attaches many different labels to people who have problems functioning in social relationships. These problems range from difficulties with family dynamics and friendships to interacting with society as a whole. Some of these labels include obsessive-compulsive disorder, paranoid personality disorder, and narcissistic personality disorder.
These problems are common in modern society, affecting about 10% of the population. However, research done by Dr. Weston Price in the 1930s on indigenous people on six different continents suggests that indigenous people had virtually none of these problems. Why would that be and what could be causing these problems in modern society? Using labels to describe the various symptoms of people’s personality problems does little good if we can’t find and correct the cause.
So, in this month’s herbal hour we’re going to look beyond the labels to discover the root causes of these problems and solutions we can use to help solve them. For starters, Dr. Price found that people living in the same parts of the world and consuming modern processed foods not only suffered from physical ailments, they also started developing mental and emotional problems. So, a major factor in these problems is the lack of nutrients needed for healthy brain and nervous system function.
Substance abuse is also common among people who have personalty disorders, so various toxins may also be involved. Another possible cause is unresolved trauma and abuse, especially from early childhood.
We’ll discuss all of these causes and things we can do to fix them and help people recover their mental and emotional wellbeing in this month’s herbal hour.
