From renowned integrative physician Kenneth Bock,
M.D., comes a groundbreaking approach to
understanding adolescent and teen mental health
disorders.Over the past decade, the number of 12- to
17-year-olds suffering from mental health disorders has
more than doubled. While adolescents and teens are
notorious for mood swings and rebellion, parents today
are navigating new terrain as their children are
increasingly at risk of struggling with a mental health
issue. But the question remains: What is causing this
epidemic of illness?In Brain Inflamed, acclaimed
integrative doctor Dr. Kenneth Bock shares a
revolutionary new view of adolescent and teen mental
health—one that suggests many of the mental disorders
most common among this population (including
depression, anxiety, and OCD) may share the same
underlying mechanism: systemic inflammation. In this
groundbreaking work, Dr. Bock explains the essential
role of the immune system and the microbiome in mental
health, detailing the ways in which imbalances in these
systems—such as autoimmune conditions, thyroid

neurological inflammation. While most conventional

uncovers triggers such as gluten sensitivity, adrenal dysfunction, Lyme disease, and post-strep infections—all of which create imbalances in the
body that can generate psychological symptoms. Filled with incredible stories from Dr. Bock’s more than thirty years as a practicing physician,
Brain Inflamed explains the biological underpinnings of many common mental health issues, and empowers the parents and family members of
struggling teens with practical advice—and perhaps most importantly, hope for a brighter future.
