Shadow Syndromes: The Mild Forms of Major Mental Disorders That Sabotage Us Paperback - 1998 - 1st Edition
by John J. Ratey
This revolutionary approach to the psychology of everyday behavior offers convincing evidence that suggests common emotional and mental ailments are really the result of faulty brain chemistry.
First line
WHEN WE ASK OURSELVES what minor flaws in the brain's functioning may be affecting us or someone we love, one of the most confusing issues is how many of the shadow syndromes normal people may fit.
From the jacket flap
Are you living under a shadow?
Do you or someone you love suffer from: Chronic sadness
Obsessiveness Outbursts of anger
The inability to finish tasks Acute anxiety
Disabling discomfort in social situations These are the "shadow syndromes" of major mental disorders that limit the lives, productivity, and happiness of millions of people.
Drawing on cutting-edge research, Drs. Ratey and Johnson challenge the most basic beliefs of our mental health professionals by uncovering the biological factors that often determine our personalities. They use real-life case studies to illustrate how shadow syndromes affect our everyday lives and how they can be treated--often dramatically--with diet, exercise, psychotherapy, and medication. "Shadow Syndromes is the revolutionary theory that sheds light on our life-limiting behaviors and offers the essential tools for changing them. This book will liberate you and those you love.
