Mental Illness: The Reality of the Physical Nature

The book delves into the contentious debate surrounding the biological basis of mental illness, questioning whether mental struggles stem from biological causes or are merely effects of psychological factors. It examines the implications of neuroimaging techniques like EEGs and fMRIs in understanding the mind. Key inquiries include the validity of theories related to brain dysfunction, genetic defects, and chemical imbalances, as well as the relationship between physical impairments and moral failure, making it a critical exploration of contemporary psychiatric discourse.
