Psychische Erkrankungen neu verstehen

We are in the midst of a global health crisis, with mental illnesses on the rise. But what are their causes? And why are mental health issues so difficult to treat? Based on decades of research, Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Chris Palmer outlines a revolutionary new understanding that consolidates our previous knowledge of mental illnesses into a single theory: Mental disorders are metabolic disorders of the brain.

In "Understanding Mental Illnesses Anew," the author sheds light on the new therapeutic options that his theory opens up – applicable to all mental disorders: anxiety, depression, ADHD, alcoholism, eating disorders, bipolar disorders, autism, and even schizophrenia. He combines cutting-edge scientific findings with practical advice and strategies to help those affected regain their health. Here, you will learn why classifying mental disorders as "separate" illnesses is misleading and what clear connections exist between mental illnesses and metabolic disorders, including diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, obesity, Alzheimer’s, and epilepsy.
