Most people point out dysfunction — few explain where it actually begins.

Dr. Scott Anderson goes to the root: The vast majority of addiction, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and societal problems trace back to unstable families — especially fatherless or broken homes.

In this powerful episode he covers:
• The developmental milestones every child needs (love, attention, belonging, safety & security)
• Why two reasonably stable parents are the #1 protective factor
• How single-parent, distracted, or overindulgent homes create mental instability
• The $700 billion cost to society — and why it’s getting worse

If you want to understand the cause instead of just treating symptoms, this is essential listening.
