Psychiatry is the most closed-off and unexplored field of medicine, where there are still more questions than answers. For decades of research, the key to even the main question has not been found: what really causes mental disorders? Genetics? Hormones...
and stress? Lack of parental love or childhood traumas? How does one thing combine with another and what is the main cause?
Before you is the first unique comprehensive theory of the origin of ALL mental diseases, which will finally answer these questions. Christopher Palmer, MD from Harvard University, has found a common mechanism for the development of mental disorders, even in those that seem radically different from one another.
Bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, OCD, PTSD, ADHD, depression, eating disorders, and anxiety.
Different diseases. Similar symptoms. One root – brain metabolism.
And – no, metabolism is not just about nutrition and burning calories. Dr. Palmer will discuss various factors that influence this process and allow for the prevention of mental problems.
You will also learn:
— why modern treatment methods help, but only for a short period;
— how physical processes in the brain are linked to mental manifestations;
— why different people exhibit different symptoms of the same disorder;
— how to recognize the signs of a mental illness in time and what measures to take.
