About This Course
This lesson begins by illustrating how the interface between the immune system, mind, and the brain affects mental health. For example, chronic inflammation is significantly associated with a broad range of health and mental health problems, including devastating effects on mood, cognition, and social withdrawal. Inflammation can result from adversity and the several dimensions of the interface between mind, brain, and body. In fact, chronic inflammation is strongly associated with anxiety, depression, and cognitive deficits, including dementia.

Mind-Brain-Gene
Toward Psychotherapy Integration
If you would like more resources on this topic, please consider reading Dr. John Arden's book Mind-Brain-Gene.
This book contributes to the sea change in how we conceptualise mental health problems and their solutions. Mind-Brain-Gene describes the feedback loops between the multiple systems contributing to the emergence of the mind and the experience of the self. It explains how our mental operating networks "self"-organise, drawing from and modifying our memory systems to establish and maintain mental health.
