"An important book, a hopeful book, for anyone who wants to think
about depression in a new way." Tom Insel MD, Co-founder and
President, Mindstrong Health
"The Inflamed Mind is not only a dramatic breakthrough in our
understanding of depression. It is an extraordinary exploration of
what it is to be human." Matthew D'Ancona, author of 'Post
Truth'
"Suddenly an expert who wants to stop and question everything we
thought we knew... This is a lesson in the workings of the brain
far too important to ignore." Jeremy Vine, BBC
"Erudite, enjoyable, and accessible... The Inflamed Mind confronts
the reader with the converging revolutions in neuroscience and
immunology that give rise to a new perspective about depression and
its treatment." John H. Krystal, MD, Chair, Department of
Psychiatry, Yale University School of Medicine
"Ed Bullmore provides a clearly written and compelling argument for
the importance of the immune system and inflammation in depression.
This lively book explains a major frontier in clinical neuroscience
that is not only influencing research on depression, but also on
schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease." Steven E. Hyman, Harvard
University Distinguished Service Professor
"Professor Bullmore explores how the current division between
Psychiatry and the rest of medicine has developed and how we might
change that. He puts forward a fascinating theory that attributes
depression to inflammation rather than serotonin imbalance as has
traditionally been thought. Whatever the truth, this book is a
stimulating and interesting read." Wendy Burn, President Royal
College of Psychiatrists
"A great read, this thought provoking book presents inflammation as
the major driver of depression. A real page turner that raises
important questions for us all, including how we should practise
medicine going forwards and can we restart Research and Development
using this paradigm? Highly recommended." Dame Sally Davies, Chief
Medical Officer for England
