Depression is not a disease. It is a symptom.

Recent years have seen a shocking increase in antidepressant use the world over, with 1 in 4 women starting their day with medication. These drugs have steadily become the panacea for everything from grief, irritability, panic attacks, to insomnia, PMS, and stress. But the truth is, what women really need can’t be found at a pharmacy.

According to Dr. Kelly Brogan, antidepressants not only overpromise and underdeliver, but their use may permanently disable the body’s self-healing potential. We need a new paradigm: The best way to heal the mind is to heal the whole body.

In this groundbreaking, science-based and holistic approach, Dr. Brogan shatters the mythology conventional medicine has built around the causes and treatment of depression. Based on her expert interpretation of published medical findings, combined with years of experience from her clinical practice, Dr. Brogan illuminates the true cause of depression: it is not simply a chemical imbalance, but a lifestyle crisis that demands a reset. It is a signal that the interconnected systems in the body are out of balance – from blood sugar, to gut health, to thyroid function– and inflammation is at the root.

A Mind of Your Own offers an achievable, step-by-step 30-day action plan—including powerful dietary interventions, targeted nutrient support, detoxification, sleep, and stress reframing techniques—women can use to heal their bodies, alleviate inflammation, and feel like themselves again without a single prescription.

Bold, brave, and revolutionary, A Mind of Your Own takes readers on a journey of self-empowerment for radical transformation that goes far beyond symptom relief.

Notice yourself feeling the truth and don't be afraid. It's a game changer. Take ownership of your health and give your body the chance to thrive!

Courageous

This is an heroic work, perhaps to heroic. Big Pharma needs to be reigned in, it's power is excessive and pervasive. I'm concerned for the practitioners who take on the
"Industry " so single handedly. Perhaps an organization of renigade professio

Own your body and mind. Don't listen to doctors.

Own your body and mind..Don't listen to doctors before you read this book. Dr. Brogan will save your life. I'm a male and I love this book. It did wonders for me to heal myself.. Doctors wanted me to take Lexapro and I started for a week until I saw this book and I stopped immediately..
I've always believed in healing yourself first through food and other means.. It was meant for me to find this book..

Empowering and Validating

This book reviews what many of us already know, that doing what’s best for our minds and bodies is not easier but it does have the greatest payoff. While a lot is available according to western medicine to ‘manage’ mental health issues, very little addresses the root cause. I LOVED this book and had the pleasure of seeing Kelly speak publicly. She gets you back to basics and it’s amazing!

Is a 30-day healthy food adjustment worth a try? Absolutely!!

I am 54 and I am tired, exhausted, of feeling sad, lethargic, disinterested, unmotivated, and hopeless. This has NEVER been me. Who IS this? I care less about why and more about HOW to regain my sense of hope and purpose for literally getting out of bed anymore. I am scared and know
