Understanding mental illness logically

"Every year, one in four of us suffers from a mental health problem, with anxiety and depression alone affecting more than 500 million people worldwide. Why are these problems so widespread? What is it about modern life that has such an impact on our mental health? Why is there still so much confusion around these issues? And why have we not yet broken the stigma surrounding talking about such topics? In Understanding Mental Illness, neuroscientist and bestselling author Dean Burnett answers these questions and more, revealing what really happens inside our brains when we suffer from mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, and addiction. Combining enlightening scientific research with authentic experience drawn directly from people who deal with mental health problems every day, this is an honest, entertaining, and reassuring account of how these problems happen, why they happen, and how we can truly understand them.
