Synopsis

This true medical detective story describes the author's four generation family odyssey that leads him to paths less traveled. He discusses multiple biological causes of and effective nutritional interventions for those suffering from bipolar disorder and other central nervous system (CNS) disorders. He explores new typologies for "mental" illness, as well as assumptions and practices in the justice and mental health systems that impact those with CNS disorders. A totally different way — for patients, parents, teachers, therapists, police, prison guards, nurses, doctors and judges — to think about mental illness.
