About this product
Product Information
How we can use what we've learned about the brain to improve our mental health There are many routes to mental well-being. In this groundbreaking book, neuroscientist Camilla Nord offers a fascinating tour of the scientific developments that are revolutionising the way we think about mental health, showing why and how events--and treatments--can affect people in such different ways. In The Balanced Brain , Nord explains how our brain constructs our sense of mental health--actively striving to maintain balance in response to our changing circumstances. While a mentally healthy brain deals well with life's turbulence, poor mental health results when the brain struggles with disruption. But just what is the brain trying to balance? Nord describes the foundations of mental health in the brain--from the neurobiology of pleasure, pain and desire to the role of mood-mediating chemicals like dopamine, serotonin and opioids. She then pivots to interventions, revealing how antidepressants, placebos and even recreational drugs work; how psychotherapy changes brain chemistry; and how the brain and body interact to make us feel physically (as well as mentally) healthy. Along the way, Nord explains how the seemingly small things we use to lift our moods--a piece of chocolate, a walk, a chat with a friend--work on the same pathways in our brains as the latest treatments for mental health disorders. Understanding the cause of poor mental health is one of the crucial questions of our time. But the answer is unique to each of us, and it requires finding what helps our brains rebalance and thrive. With so many factors at play, there are more possibilities for recovery and resilience than we might think.

Reviews
"A great deal of uncertainty remains in both neuroscience and mental health--messiness that Ms. Nord conveys exquisitely." ---Matthew Hutson, Wall Street Journal, "A fascinating read, one that is able to make sense of unexpected connections . . . . Nord makes a compelling case for rejecting any clear distinction between mental and physical illness." ---Sophie McBain, Sunday Times, "[Nord] weaves stories from her personal and professional life skilfully into a scientific analysis of the huge range of treatments available." ---Clive Cookson, Financial Times, Delightfully sinful. A whole chapter devoted to 'natural highs' is a refreshing departure from popular recommendations for lives devoid of cake, alcohol, fats and screen time. . . . In the realm of both pain and pleasure, Nord offers a plethora of interesting facts. . . . what quickly emerges as a central theme [is] the importance of honouring natural variation., Invigorating. . . . the research fascinates. . . . a superior volume on the biological underpinnings of mental health., An enlightening round-up of what scientists know about the workings of the brain, and how they know it., "Fascinating. . . . [A] refreshing counterblast to many popular ideas about wellbeing." ---Sarah Collins, Prospect, "Rigorous--but also engagingly personal. . . . The Balanced Brain provides an exciting snapshot of what we know so far about this vital organ's importance for maintaining our mental health." ---Peter Carty, inews.co.uk, "Optimistic. . . . Her writing is masterfully nuanced in its treatment of depression, without sacrificing the clarity of her argument." ---David Robson, Observer
