Understanding mental illnesses logically

One in four of us suffers from a mental health issue every year, with anxiety and depression alone affecting more than 500 million people worldwide. Why are these problems so widespread? What is it about our modern lives that has such an impact on our mental health? And why is there still so much confusion surrounding these issues? Why haven't we yet shed the stigma associated with discussing such topics? In his book "Understanding Mental Illness," neuroscientist and bestselling author Dean Burnett answers these questions and more, revealing what actually happens inside our brains when we experience mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, and addiction. Combining illuminating scientific research with authentic experience drawn directly from people who deal with mental health issues every day, this is an honest, engaging, and reassuring narrative of how these problems occur, why they occur, and how we can truly understand them.
