The Better Brain: How Nutrition Will Help You Overcome Anxiety, Depression, ADHD and Stress
The Better Brain: Overcome Anxiety, Combat Depression, and Reduce ADHD and Stress with Nutrition is a long-awaited compilation of decades of work by two psychologists, Drs. Bonnie Kaplan and Julia Rucklidge, who have more experience treating various forms of mental illness with supplements than pretty much anyone else. Unlike the typical self-help book authors who tee up some questionable interpretations of a few poorly done studies and a huge helping of individual anecdotes, Kaplan and Rucklidge have spent decades conducting independent* randomized controlled trials of broad-spectrum multi-nutrients and publishing their results.
