From renowned integrative physician Kenneth Bock, M.D., comes a groundbreaking approach to understanding adolescent and teen mental health disorders.
Over the past decade, the number of 12- to 17-year-olds suffering from mental health disorders has more than doubled. While adolescents and teens are notorious for mood swings and rebellion, parents today are navigating new terrain as their children are increasingly at risk of struggling with a mental health issue. But the question remains: What is the root cause of this epidemic of illness?
In Brain Inflamed, acclaimed integrative doctor Dr. Kenneth Bock shares a revolutionary new view of adolescent and teen mental healthone that suggests many of the mental disorders most common among this population (including depression, anxiety, and OCD) may share the same underlying mechanism: systemic inflammation. In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Bock explains the essential role of the gut-brain-immune axis, detailing the ways in which imbalances in these systemssuch as autoimmune conditions, thyroid disorders, or leaky gut syndromecan generate neurological inflammation.
While most conventional doctors assume that teens' psychological struggles can be resolved only with therapy and psychotropic drugs, Dr. Bock's integrative medicine approach considers the whole-body health of his patients. In his integrative evaluations, he often uncovers triggers such as gluten sensitivity, adrenal dysfunction, Lyme disease, and post-strep infectionsall of which create imbalances in the body that can generate psychological symptoms.
Filled with incredible stories from Dr. Bock's more than thirty years as a practicing physician, Brain Inflamed explains the biological underpinnings of many common mental health issues, and empowers the parents and family members of struggling teens with actionable strategies and practical adviceand perhaps most importantly, hope for a brighter future.
This revolutionary guide provides the tools to understand the biological basis of your teen's struggles and find a path to healing:
- A New Paradigm for Teen Mental Health: Learn why underlying physical imbalances, not just psychological stress, could be the source of your child's anxiety, depression, or OCD.
- The Role of the Microbiome: Uncover how issues like leaky gut syndrome and imbalances in the gut flora can directly impact your teen's mood and cognitive function.
- Uncovering Hidden Triggers: Explore how conditions often missed by conventional doctorsincluding Lyme disease, thyroid disorders, gluten sensitivity, and PANS/PANDAScan manifest as psychiatric symptoms.
- An Integrative Treatment Plan: Move beyond a one-size-fits-all approach with whole-body strategies that address root causes through nutrition, targeted supplements, and a balanced immune system.
