In the eBook format, readers can access links that support the main ideas in the book.This is the second of three books in The Transformation Trilogy, a series that challenges the current definition of mental illness and envisions a future where people can find definitive treatment for underlying biomedical disorders. The first book in the series, a medical memoir entitled Too Good to be True? Nutrients Quiet the Unquiet Brain, points out the limitations of current standard of care practice, using the author's family's history to illustrate.
