Psychiatry is the most secretive and unexplored field of medicine, still leaving more questions than answers. Decades of research have failed to find the key to even the most fundamental question: what truly causes mental disorders. Genetics? Hormones and stress? Parental dislike or childhood trauma? How do these interact, and what is the root cause?
Here is the first unique, comprehensive theory of the origins of all mental illnesses, which will finally answer these questions. Christopher Palmer, MD, of Harvard University, has discovered a common mechanism for the development of mental disorders, even those that seem radically different from one another.
Bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, OCD, PTSD and ADHD, depression, eating disorders, and anxiety. Different diseases. Similar symptoms. The same root – brain metabolism. And no, metabolism isn't just about nutrition and burning calories. Dr. Palmer will discuss the various factors that influence this process and help prevent the development of mental health problems.
You will also learn:
- why modern treatment methods help, but only for a short period;
- how physical processes in the brain are connected to mental manifestations;
- why different people experience different symptoms of the same disorder;
- how to recognize the signs of mental illness early and what measures to take.
