Product Description

This text examines how neurotransmitters work, and gives an account of research into behavioural disorders and what it tells us about our own functioning minds. The research described in this text shows how psychological problems stem from a combination of both environmental and inherited tendencies, and offers an alternative view of the long-standing debate between the "talk therapists" and the "drug therapists", and shows that both are needed to resolve mental health disorders.

Ingram

A leading psychiatrist provides a definitive study of the latest research into the brain and how it works, exploring a wide range of behavioral disorders, the influence of neurotransmitters on mental illness, and their implications in resolving mental health problems.
