Important read on the holistic take on health - the book show's there's no way to separate menthal health from physical health.
It only slightly touches the topic of politics in the health sector here and there, which is part of the problem - since trauma and PTSD are a public health problem - but maybe that could be a whole other book.
Be aware of the content warnings, the book is explicit.

The book uses extreme experiences to show how people are shaped by their environments and gives hope in the resilience of the brain for overcoming instinctual reactions.

As this book is about trauma, it gives lots of references and in some cases examples of hard topics.stephdadi's review against another edition
