Dr. Mark McDonald is a psychiatrist and commentator. Along with Dr. Jeff Barke, his podcast Informed Dissent discusses mental and physical health, politics, and culture. 

Mark joins Josh to talk about the explosion of Cluster B, narcissistic personality traits and behaviors in society, and how the mental health establishment not only doesn't recognize it, but is contributing to the prevalence of these behaviors. 

We also discuss the effect of feminist and leftist ideologies on our collective mental health, and how these have upended traditional and sane understandings of good health, behavior, and personal responsibility.

Four years ago, I woke from a spell that I had been under since childhood.  After decades of torment, I recognized my mother for what she truly was: a personality-disordered abuser.  She wasn't the victim she had always claimed to be.  Then I saw the same behavior and abuse tactics being adopted and applauded by the social justice left.
