Brain Energy is a book all psychiatric professionals should read as a useful criticism of our field's major deficits. It is a book all people should read to understand how much they can do (and not do) for the sake of their mental health. -- ""LoisW. Choi-Kain, MD, director of the Gunderson Personality Disorders Institute and assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School"" Dr. Palmer takes a provocative and insightful look into the origins of mental disorders, which have profound implications for how we treat the disease. -- ""Jason Fung, MD, New York Times bestselling author"" Psychiatry will never be the same...Christopher Palmer poses the hypothesis, supports it with data, and, in my humble opinion, nails the treatment: Feed the brain what it needs. -- ""Robert H. Lustig, MD, MSL, professor emeritus of pediatrics at University of California, San Francisco, and New York Times bestselling author"" Brain Energy is a dramatic breakthrough in understanding mental illness by a leading Harvard psychiatrist who provides a revolutionary road map for people suffering from depression, anxiety, bipolar disease, [and] in fact, almost any brain disorder. -- ""Mark Hyman, MD, New York Times bestselling author"" Brain Energy provides a long-awaited unifying mechanism underlying a vast spectrum of mental illness conditions. And this new paradigm will undoubtedly usher in potent therapeutic interventions for pervasive psychiatric conditions for which standard pharmaceutical approaches have proven minimally effective. -- ""David Perlmutter, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author""
