Summary of Bonnie J. Kaplan & Julia J. Rucklidge's The Better Brain

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Many people find it hard to believe that just nutrition could solve mental health problems. But we know why these psychiatrists think this way. Like them, we were taught that nutrition was not relevant for mental health in school. #2 There is no clear cause of mental illness. Science has found some clues, like our genetics, our childhood environment, exposure to traumas, poverty, and the effects of toxins on neural development. #3 The rates of people on disability as a result of a mental disorder are on the rise. Insurance costs are on the rise. Treatment costs are catastrophic. The plague is no longer invisible, and it is getting worse. #4 The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders is a classification system prepared by committees that tries to come up with a consensus. The most familiar categories are anxiety disorders, depression, and eating disorders.
