So I always think of my patients in four big circles. The first one is what's the biology? How healthy is your brain and body? And that's why we have to scan you.

How's your relationships? How's your money?

But there, especially in this new Internet world, there's a lot of moral injury because of the bullying, the shaming and the lack, the loneliness and lack of purpose that our younger generation has.

But the more you push on it, the more you begin to wear it out, just like cocaine, and you need more and more to begin to feel anything at all.
