Gabor Maté Explains How Anger Turns Into Depression
In this eye-opening video, Dr. Gabor Maté unpacks a powerful and often misunderstood truth about depression: it’s not just sadness or a chemical imbalance—it’s deeply connected to suppressed anger. Through a profound exploration of mental health, Dr. Maté explains how anger, when repressed and unable to be expressed, can slowly transform into depression. This insight is crucial for anyone struggling with burnout, anxiety, or the overwhelming feelings that come with panic attacks.
Instead of simply asking “Why the depression?”, Dr. Maté invites us to ask, “Why the anger?”. This shift in perspective could be the key to breaking the cycle of self-improvement struggles, mental health awareness, and reclaiming control over your emotional life. His insights encourage us to understand the deep connection between anger and depression—and how channeling that anger can lead to true healing.

So true. The more I am not allowed to express my feelings my anger turns into sadness which turns into depression and withdrawal.❤
Desr Dr M. Thnx for being there. You are a bright light for all of walking wounded and nobody sees like u do. Youve been there. Those of us going on, giving, receiving .. caring for others.. but you see the caregivers inner pain.

Appreciate the insight, equates to understanding. ❤
Showed this to my Asian parents boy let me tell ya 😂
when a child cannot express his anger, he grows up to be a narcissist, he may numb his feelings to relieve his pain. Worse still he has no empathy, so he only tries to control, conquer everyone and is manipulative. When he grows up he becomes an NPD

Thanks for your advice..listening to.you.is great and a pleasure
I was deeply depressed throughout my childhood and adolescence. When I was 21, I experienced the sensation of anger for the first time. It shook me. I thought I was falling ill. Had no clue what was happening to me and no clue what to do with it.
My baby sister was angry her whole life. Literally from the moment she left the womb. Screaming and breaking things and beating me up and even using tears to knowingly manipulate the people who she perceived had “wronged” her. The righteous indignation disgusted me. I knew it would just come back to me tenfold if I raged against my mother. But I protected her from our mom. Used to feel bad like I enabled her poor behavior…. Now I wonder if I created just enough space so she could express her pain in a way I hadn’t known how to do even within myself. She says I’m dead to her but I’m grateful she grew up with a voice.
