Depression is not a disease. It is a
symptom.
Recent years have seen a shocking
increase in antidepressant use the world over, with 1 in 4 women starting their
day with medication. These drugs have steadily become the panacea for
everything from grief, irritability, panic attacks, to insomnia, PMS, and
stress. But the truth is, what women really need can’t be found at a
pharmacy.
According to Dr. Kelly Brogan,
antidepressants not only overpromise and underdeliver, but their use may
permanently disable the body’s self-healing potential. We need a new paradigm:
The best way to heal the mind is to heal the whole body.
In this groundbreaking, science-based
and holistic approach, Dr. Brogan shatters the mythology conventional medicine
has built around the causes and treatment of depression. Based on her expert
interpretation of published medical findings, combined with years of experience
from her clinical practice, Dr. Brogan illuminates the true cause of
depression: it is not simply a chemical imbalance, but a lifestyle crisis that
demands a reset. It is a signal that the interconnected systems in the body are
out of balance – from blood sugar, to gut health, to thyroid function– and
inflammation is at the root.
A Mind of Your Own offers
an achievable, step-by-step 30-day action plan—including powerful dietary
interventions, targeted nutrient support, detoxification, sleep, and stress
reframing techniques—women can use to heal their bodies, alleviate
inflammation, and feel like themselves again without a single prescription.
Bold, brave, and revolutionary, A
Mind of Your Own takes readers on a journey of self-empowerment for
radical transformation that goes far beyond symptom relief.
