In this groundbreaking book, University of Cambridge professor of psychiatry Edward Bullmore reveals the breakthrough new science on the link between depression and inflammation of the body and brain. He explains how and why we now know that mental disorders can have their root cause in the immune system, and outlines a future revolution in which treatments could be specifically targeted to break the vicious cycles of stress, inflammation, and depression.
The Inflamed Mind goes far beyond the clinic and the lab, representing a whole new way of looking at how mind, brain, and body all work together in a sometimes misguided effort to help us survive in a hostile world. It offers insights into how we could start getting to grips with depression and other mental disorders much more effectively in the future.

CBS This Morning - How inflammation in the body could be causing depression
A new way to study depression may lead to more treatment options for patients. A book just published in the U.S. called "The Inflamed Mind: A Radical New Approach to Depression" examines the link between inflammation in the body and mental health. It's estimated more than 16 million American adults suffer at least one major depressive episode a year. Author Edward Bullmore, head of the psychiatry department at the University of Cambridge in England, joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss his findings.
