The Inflamed Mind by Edward Bullmore

A Radical New Approach to Depression

This accessible, evidence-driven account argues that inflammation and immune system activity are major contributors to depression and other psychiatric disorders, synthesizing clinical studies, biological mechanisms (like cytokines and neuroinflammation), and epidemiological links between infection, autoimmunity and mental symptoms; it explores how this perspective could change diagnosis and treatment — from anti-inflammatory drugs and repurposed medicines to lifestyle interventions — and calls for integrating immunology into psychiatric research and care.
