'Compelling and wise and rational.' - Jon Ronson

One in four of us experience a mental health problem each year, with anxiety and depression alone affecting over 500 million people worldwide.


Why are these conditions so widespread? What is it about modern life that has such an impact on our mental health? And why is there still so much confusion and stigma around these issues?

In Psycho-Logical, neuroscientist and bestselling author Dean Burnett answers these questions and more, revealing what is actually going on in our brains when we suffer mental health issues such as anxiety, depression and addiction.

Combining illuminating scientific research with first-hand insights from people who deal with mental health problems on a daily basis, this is an honest, entertaining and reassuring account of how and why these issues occur, and how to make sense of them.

Dean Burnett is a neuroscientist, blogger, sometimes-comedian and author. He is an honorary research fellow at the Cardiff University Psychology School, and has received the Public Engagement of Neuroscience award from the British Neuroscience Association. His books The Idiot Brain and The Happy Brain were international bestsellers published in over 20 countries. His Guardian articles have been read over 16 million times and he currently writes the 'Brain Yapping' blog for the Cosmic Shambles network.
