Depression is one of the UK's leading causes of disability. One in four women in their 40s are prescribed antidepressant drugs, but depression is a sign of malfunction of the body, not the brain, and it can be treated with simple lifestyle interventions. The UK's mental well-being is in a state of crisis; psychiatric drugs are overprescribed, and the causes of depression and anxiety are oversimplified as genetic and brain malfunctions. This book debunks the myths and sets out a natural cure for depression, proving that low serotonin levels are not the primary cause of depression, but that inflammation is the root cause, which can be treated through lifestyle changes. The book explores the truth about depression, including the latest science and how our genes express themselves through the food choices we make, as well as Dr. Brogan's four-week plan with menus. Written in a lively style.
