Understanding mental illnesses logically

One in four of us suffers every year from a problem related to mental or psychological health, and anxiety and depression alone affect more than 500 million people worldwide. Why do these problems spread on such a wide scale? And what is it that makes our modern lives have this impact on our mental and psychological health? And why is there still so much confusion around these issues? And why do we still face stigmas when talking about such topics? In the book Understanding Mental Illnesses, neuroscientist and best-selling author Dean Burnett answers these questions and more, revealing what actually happens inside our brains when we suffer from mental and psychological health issues like anxiety, depression, and addiction. Combining what enlightened scientific research tells us and authentic experience directly from people dealing with mental and psychological health problems daily, this is a sincere, enjoyable, and reassuring account of how these problems occur, why they happen, and how we can truly understand them.
