La inflamación de la mente

Depression seems set to become the leading cause of disability globally, but the reality is that in the last three decades there has been no notable change in its treatment. In the world of psychiatry, time seems to have stood still... until now. Edward Bullmore, Professor of Psychiatry at Cambridge University, claims that mental disorders may be rooted in the immune system. In Inflammation of the Mind, Bullmore offers a groundbreaking perspective on how the mind, brain, and body collaborate in a sometimes misguided effort to help us survive in a hostile world, and shows how we might address depression and other mental disorders. much more effectively, as well as the new scientific advances that support it. This groundbreaking work outlines a future in which we could find new treatments to break the vicious cycles of stress, inflammation, and depression and win the fight against the major public health problems of the 21st century.
