Saying that mental illness is “all in your head” is the same as telling a person paralyzed in a car accident that they’ll be able to walk again, as long as they don’t have a mental hang up. The brain is an organ like anything else in the body. Just because we don’t know how it works as well as other parts of the body doesn’t mean that it doesn’t break down the same way as say, a liver.

How long ago were your dad’s books published? There’s been a lot of findings recently that correlate mental illness with physical problems in the brain.
