Brain Energy – A Revolutionary Breakthrough in Understanding Mental Health

Harvard Medical School’s Dr Christopher Palmer In Conversation With Kirkland Newman

Join Logo

What causes mental illness? Harvard’s Christopher Palmer is pioneering a new framework with new treatment pathways for anxiety, depression, PTSD and more.

We are in the midst of a global mental health crisis, and mental illnesses are on the rise. Why are mental health problems so hard to treat? Drawing on decades of research, Harvard psychiatrist Dr Chris Palmer has developed a revolutionary new understanding that for the first time unites our existing knowledge about mental illness within a single framework: mental disorders are metabolic disorders of the brain.

In conversation with the Founder and Editor of MindHealth360, Kirkland Newman, he will explain this new understanding of mental illness in detail, from symptoms and risk factors to what is happening in brain cells, and shed light on the new treatment pathways available today that promote long-term healing.

Pairing cutting-edge science with practical advice and strategies to help people reclaim their mental health, this is an unmissable livestream event.

This event is presented in partnership with MindHealth360, a free, global resource for integrative mental health and functional medicine psychiatry that revolutionises the way mental health is approached in the mainstream.
