In this enlightening conversation, with Dr. David Clarke, we explore the fascinating connection between the `human body` and the `mind-body problem`, investigating how the brain can manifest physical symptoms without apparent injury or disease. This discussion highlights the concept of `psychosomatic illness`, where psychological factors significantly influence physical well-being. We also touch upon `emotions causing pain` as an approach to address `mental health` challenges, emphasizing the role of `psychology` in understanding these complex interactions.

Dr David Clarke is a prominent figure in the TMS field. He is Clinical Assistant Professor of Gastroenterology Emeritus and Assistant Director at the Centre for Ethics at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), where he teaches to Internal Medicine Residents.
