Provocative and beautifully written, When the Body Says No provides answers to these and other important questions about the mind-body link in illness and health. Writing for general readers, Dr. Gabor Mate lucidly summarizes the latest scientific findings about the role stress and individual emotional makeup play in an array of diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, cancer, ALS, and more. He explores the reason why, despite a rapidly accumulating body of evidence to the contrary, most physicians continue to treat symptoms rather than persons. And, with the help of dozens of moving and enlightening case studies and vignettes drawn from his two decades as a family practitioner he provides poignant insights into how disease is often the body's way of saying "no" to what the mind cannot or will not acknowledge."--From publisher's website.
