Unwell Brain: Psychbio Mtl Hlt Pa

'œWhat is going on in the brain of a person suffering a debilitating psychologicaldisorder?'� So begins Scott Kraly's explanation of how brain chemistry affectsbehavior. While we continue to learn about the complexities of neurobiology,and our 'œquick fix'� drug therapy mentality continues to gain popularity, thebrain remains a largely uncharted frontier, where questions outnumber answers. But Kraly effectively demystifies the field of neuroscience, offering abrisk, digestible narrative of how malfunctioning neurons and neurochemicalscan result in psychological disorders, and, in turn, how pharmacotherapy andpsychotherapy can help repair various mental health disorders.

F. Scott Kraly is Charles A. Dana Professor of Psychology and Director of the Division of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at Colgate University.
