Description: Dr. Hellerstein uses the term "New Neuropsychiatry" to refer to an emerging synthesis of neuroscience and clinical psychiatric practice that increasingly is able to help people who have depression and anxiety disorders. Depression and anxiety disorders damage the brain, but as Dr. Hellerstein explains, the right treatment can change the patterns of brain activity, brain cell connections, and even the brain's anatomy. Unlike traditional psychiatry, which often focused on early life issues, the New Neuropsychiatry focuses on improving present-day life and on achieving long-term remission of symptoms. Heal Your Brain combines the advances of neuroscience and medicine with the art of the storyteller to show how the New Neuropsychiatry can alter the outcome of these often-devastating disorders.
