The new book from the bestselling author of "Fragments of Childhood Trauma" is a gripping medical mystery that uncovers the secret of a tiny but vital part of the brain—microglia.
A recent groundbreaking discovery has shown that microglia maintain a delicate connection between our physical and mental health. When the immune system is damaged in any way (caused by chronic stress, trauma, and viruses), this microglia can trigger memory problems, anxiety, depression, and even the development of Alzheimer's disease. However, under certain circumstances, microglia transform into angelic healers, saving the brain.
Donna Jackson Nakazawa, a renowned science journalist, has conducted numerous interviews with scientists, doctors, and patients, trying to understand how to properly "reset" microglia. By sharing this important discovery in a captivating and understandable way, she offers hope for recovery to tens of millions of people suffering from severe mental and physical illnesses.
"The Angel and the Assassin" will radically change our understanding of how the brain can heal itself.
