"Dr. Younger’s fascinating book details the impact autoimmune disease can have on brain health, especially during the developmental stage. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to get to the root cause of unexplained changes in behavior or personality, or even the most severe psychiatric symptoms. -- Amy Myers, MD, New York Times bestselling author of ""The Autoimmune Solution"" and ""The Thyroid Connection"" Based on Dr. Younger’s groundbreaking work on the devastating effects of autoimmune diseases on the brain, this book gifts us with a practical and accessible path back to better health, even for those who are most severely compromised. A critical and welcome resource for providers and families striving to identify- and heal- the actual, underlying medical causes of thwarted attention, learning ability, mood stability, and overall well-being. This is gold. -- Jamie Candelaria Greene, PhD, BCET, author of “PANS, CANS, and Automobiles: A Comprehensive Reference Guide for Helping Students with PANDAS and PANS” This user-friendly book is an essential primer for anyone seeking to understand health difficulties. Dr. David Younger is a brilliant neurologist who treats the whole person. His thesis is that the triad of infection-immunity-inflammation is essential in understanding brain function. This triad can be linked not only to genetics, but also to environmental exposures and traumatic stress. This triad affects not only our physical health and disease, and cognition, but also our psychological functioning, such as depression or panic. The book includes many clinical case examples as well as a valuable guide to diagnosis and treatment. As a researcher in parent-infant social communication and infant emotional development, I believe that the new brain science in The Autoimmune Brain shows us paths to brain resilience which are relevant to the earliest stages of life. Yet we still need to know more about how early parent-infant social communication affects infant brain development and might promote its resilience. -- Beatrice Beebe, PhD, Clinical Professor of Medical Psychology, Columbia University Medical Center, New York State Psychiatric Institute"
