The End of Mental Illness: How Neuroscience Is Transforming Psychiatry and Helping Prevent or Reverse Mood and Anxiety Disorders, Adhd, Addiction by Daniel Amen
3.0
Pretty much a textbook read to understand the biological symptoms and effects of mental illness. A lot of effort has gone into compiling this book.
It is digestible as a normal read at the start, but it gets very scientific later on with little to no explanation for the scientific terms. I enjoy reading such books usually as study material, but not as a storybook. I did fine the research references extremely interesting to look into. I will be reaching out to this again and again like a reference book every time I want to know more about neuroscience and mental illness.
That being said, it is not a digestible read as a storybook overall. It gets very repetitive over time and I struggled to get through to the end. I couldn't retain a lot of information as it is filled to the brim with lists. I think it would've been better-marketed as a reference book or study manual.
