{"product_id":"inflammation-in-the-brain-and-the-body","title":"Inflammation In The Brain And The Body By John D. Matthews","description":"Despite the wealth of evidence showing that psychological                        conditions can affect physical health—for example, the impact of stress on                        blood pressure—it is not uncommon, even now, for disorders of the mind and                        body to be viewed and treated independently of one another. But what if the                        same inflammatory processes that are responsible for heart failure,                        diabetes, renal failure, allergies, and many other medical conditions were                        the root cause of most major psychiatric disorders?This is the                        premise of this paradigm-shifting new book, which proposes approaching                        mental illnesses as disorders of the whole body, not just the brain. It                        reviews the extensive emerging evidence that inflammation contributes to the                        pathophysiology of not only medical disorders but also mood, anxiety,                        psychotic, cognitive, and trauma-related conditions.   Using major                        depressive disorder as the case example, this volume integrates information                        from different fields as it examines: • How multiple sources of                        inflammation—including the gut microbiome, early and chronic stress,                        lifestyle, and social determinants of health—affect the body and the                        brain• Strategies for incorporating a whole-body disorder model into                        psychiatric, medical, and lifestyle patient assessments• Interventions                        such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, lifestyle changes, stress management,                        and quality nutrition By pursuing new research avenues to illustrate                        the bidirectional nature between medical and mental disorders,                            Inflammation in the Brain and the Body: A Mind-Body Hypothesis                        expands the universe of treatment options for both types of disorders,                        providing multiple augmentation treatment strategies.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57835647795582,"sku":"NW9781615374267","price":41.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/inflammation-in-the-brain-and-the-body","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
