Drawing on decades of research, Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Chris Palmer outlines a revolutionary new understanding that for the first time unites our existing knowledge about mental illness within a single framework:Â Mental disorders are metabolic disorders of the brain.
In Dr. Palmer’s first book, Brain Energy explains this new understanding of mental illness in detail, from symptoms and risk factors to what is happening in brain cells. Palmer also sheds light on the new treatment pathways this theory opens up—which apply to all mental disorders, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, alcoholism, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, autism, and schizophrenia. Brain Energy pairs cutting-edge science with practical advice and strategies to help people reclaim their mental health.
This groundbreaking book reveals how to use food as medicine for the brain and how specific types of diets and adjustments to carbohydrate intake can be used to improve mental health.
Brain Energy will transform the field of mental health, and the lives of countless people around the world.
