About this title

Synopsis

This text examines how neurotransmitters work, and gives an account of research into behavioural disorders and what it tells us about our own functioning minds. The research described in this text shows how psychological problems stem from a combination of both environmental and inherited tendencies, and offers an alternative view of the long-standing debate between the "talk therapists" and the "drug therapists", and shows that both are needed to resolve mental health disorders.
