How Neuroscience Is Transforming Psychiatry and Helping Prevent or Reverse Mood and Anxiety Disorders, ADHD, Addictions, PTSD, Psychosis, Personality Disorders, and More

About this book

PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY and USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

New hope for those suffering from conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, addictions, PTSD, ADHD and more.

Though the incidence of these conditions is skyrocketing, for the past four decades standard treatment hasn't much changed, and success rates in treating them have barely improved, either. Meanwhile, the stigma of the "mental illness" label?damaging and devastating on its own?can often prevent sufferers from getting the help and healing they need.

Neuropsychiatrist and bestselling author Dr. Daniel Amen is on the forefront of a new wellness movement within medicine and related disciplines that aims to change all that. In The End of Mental Illness, Dr. Amen draws on the latest findings of neuroscience to challenge an outdated psychiatric paradigm and help readers take control and improve the health of their own brain, minimizing or reversing conditions that may be preventing them from living a full and emotionally healthy life.

Packed with insights on hormones, diet, toxins, and more, The End of Mental Illness will help you discover:

  • Why labeling someone as having a "mental illness" is not only inaccurate but harmful
  • Why standard treatment may not have helped you or a loved one?and why diagnosing and treating you based on your symptoms alone so often misses the true cause of those symptoms and results in poor outcomes
  • At least 100 simple things you can do yourself to heal your brain and prevent or reverse the problems that are making you feel sad, mad, or bad
  • How to identify your "brain type" and what you can do to optimize your particular type
  • Where to find the kind of health provider who understands and uses the new paradigm of brain health
The End of Mental Illness will empower you to strengthen your brain and improve your mind. Get started today!
