About this listen

Countless charities and awareness campaigns work tirelessly to show people that mental health problems are common and serious issues. But when it comes to mental health matters, one question that's rarely asked is...why?

Why are conditions like depression and anxiety so common?

Why is our mental health so vulnerable to the stresses and events of modern life?

Why do so many mental health problems have pronounced physical symptoms?

Why, if mental health problems are so commonplace, does anyone need to be made 'aware' of them in the first place?

And why is there still so much confusion and stigma about mental health matters?

Drawing from nearly 20 years working in the areas of neuroscience, psychology and psychiatry, international best-selling author Dr Dean Burnett (The Idiot Brain, The Happy Brain) hopes to answer these questions and more in his new audiobook Psycho-Logical (exclusive to Audible). Combining in-depth research with genuine testimonials from those who deal with their own issues on a daily basis, Psycho-Logical aims to uncover just what we think is going on with our brains when serious mental health problems occur, how and why the available therapies work (when they do), and just how flexible and uncertain much of the scientific understanding of mental health is.

Expertly narrated and written in an engaging and straightforward style, Psycho-Logical is must for anyone who's ever dealt with mental health issues of their own, knows someone who has or is interested in the ever-more-important subject matter.

Please note: this audiobook contains adult language.

Great insight into how the brain deals with stress and theories on how stress can be linked to anxiety and depression. Brilliant

This is a thoughtful and engaging discussion of mental health, which arguably has something for everyone.

For those who wish to understand the neurological and social factors that contribute to mental health issues, it serves as a clear introduction.

For those who already know something about the theoretical or empirical research, you will find a persuasive and engaging presentation of the topics, full of considered and informative analogies.

The author is also careful to exercise the appropriate level of intellectual humility when dealing with these topics. There is a lot left unsaid, and even more we don’t know. However, the listener will still feel more informed by the end of this audiobook.

Highly recommended!

Dean Burnett is very skilled communicator. This book is a beautifully clear explanation of current understanding on mental health. It is pitched at the layman while at the same time not feeling like it's trying to oversimplify the subject. The content is as good as the delivery. The author is a very rational and humane voice on a subject which too often is discussed from a point of ignorance, and prejudice. This book would be of interest to anyone who wants to know more about mental health and mental illness. It would be especially useful for friends or family of sufferers but also anyone struggling with their mental health. Its not a tool for therapy or help. But it is a powerful antidote to those opinions on mental health that range from unhelpful to just plain poisonous and damaging.

Superb.
