| Shows how biology is responsible for much of the unhappiness in our society, how to diagnose and treat these disorders, and how to recover medically, mentally, and spiritually. |

| Dr. Leland M. Heller's new book "Biological Unhappiness" fills a large void in the medical field, not only in diagnosing these biological causes of unhappiness, but in their treatment as well. In the past these disorders were considered "psychologically" based with the only hope of treatment to be that of psychotherapy. As a therapist, that is how I used to view their treatment. I now know this isn't true, particularly after reading this book (and his previous book "Life at the Border: Understanding and Recovering from the Borderline Personality Disorder"). Dr. Heller shows that these disorders are "biologically" based, treatable with medication and counseling. Perhaps for many of these disorders the etiology is based in trauma, however abuse, trauma, etc. can damage the brain and either cause or worsen the disorders. Dr. Heller advocates treating all aspects, physical, mental and spiritual. Currently, many of the disorders Dr. Heller lists in his book are underdiagnosed and undertreated. I believe most doctors are unaware of how to diagnose these "illnesses", much less how to treat them. Many people spend years in therapy only to find they still fit the criteria for the disorders . This book, I believe, is a necessity for the patient, and for anyone who feels they are not enjoying life to the fullest. Many of us will find ourselves in these pages, where no doctor has found us before. Dr. Heller believes that it is only when patients demand proper treatment that changes can and will be made. He states "victims of the these disorders must take responsibility for getting themselves well and for pushing the medical and mental health communities into pursuing solutions that work." "Biological Unhappiness" will educate many clinicians and mental health professionals in treating these disorders. |
