This is the book that will forever change the way we understand and treat mental health.<\/p>\n
If you or someone you love is affected by mental illness, it might change your life.<\/p>\n
We are in the midst of a global mental health crisis, and mental illnesses are on the rise. But what causes mental illness? And why are mental health problems so hard to treat? Drawing on decades of research, Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Chris Palmer outlines a revolutionary new understanding that for the first time unites our existing knowledge about mental illness within a single framework: Mental disorders are metabolic disorders of the brain.<\/p>\n
Brain Energy explains this new understanding of mental illness in detail, from symptoms and risk factors to what is happening in brain cells. Palmer also sheds light on the new treatment pathways this theory opens up\u2014which apply to all mental disorders, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, alcoholism, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, autism, and even schizophrenia. Brain Energy pairs cutting-edge science with practical advice and strategies to help people reclaim their mental health.<\/p>\n
This groundbreaking book reveals:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Why classifying mental disorders as \u201cseparate\u201d conditions is misleading
\n\u2022 The clear connections between mental illness and disorders linked to metabolism, including diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, pain disorders, obesity, Alzheimer\u2019s disease, and epilepsy
\n\u2022 The link between metabolism and every factor known to play a role in mental health, including genetics, inflammation, hormones, neurotransmitters, sleep, stress, and trauma
\n\u2022 The evidence that current mental health treatments, including both medications and therapies, likely work by affecting metabolism
\n\u2022 New treatments available today that readers can use to promote long-term healing<\/p>\n
Palmer puts together the pieces of the mental illness puzzle to provide answers and offer hope. Brain Energy will transform the field of mental health, and the lives of countless people around the world.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
