The Self-Healing Mind: An Essential Five-Step Practice for Overcoming Anxiety and Depression, and Revitalizing Your Life Kindle Edition

Self-care is a powerful, evidence-based medicine for the mind.

Mental health is the driving force behind every decision we make—how we live, work, and love. Many of us suffer from depression and anxiety, which impede our choices and quality of life, and despite the proliferation of prescription drugs, the numbers are growing across the globe. But there is another, proven way to achieve mental wellness, beyond antidepressants and talk therapy. Practicing psychiatrist Gregory Scott Brown believes that mental health begins with actionable self-care.

The Self-Healing Mind is a holistic approach to emotional and psychological healing that focuses on how evidence-based self-care strategies can be used to improve and sustain mental health. Dr. Brown challenges the current state of mental health care and the messaging around it, showing us how to move past outdated notions of “broken” brains and chemical imbalances. While he agrees that prescription drugs and talk therapy in many cases are important for healing, his personal and professional experience has taught him that lifestyle interventions are also key to sustainable mental wellness.

Dr. Brown’s clinical philosophy supports an integrative approach that combines conventional treatments (medication and psychotherapy) with what he calls the Five Pillars of Self-Care: breathing mindfully, sleep, spirituality, nutrition, and movement. These purposeful lifestyle practices, backed by science and proven in his clinical practice, can be adopted by everyone. Dr. Brown’s advice and insight put the power of healing back in your control.

Excellent, practical advice for self care in stressful times!
I just received my much anticipated copy of The Self Healing Mind today. It is full of useful tips on self care interwoven with Dr. Brown’s personal mental health journey. I am a mental health clinician and expect this book will be helpful for many, and hope it can foster conversations of reducing stigma and improving access to care. A refreshing and relatable account for anyone wishing to maintain and improve their resiliency in these stressful times.

I loved this book because it speaks to how mental health is impacted by every aspect of your life. This was written by a psychiatrist who understands that the way to heal people isn't always by giving them new pills to try, but to get to the root cause of their issues and make real lifestyle changes. Sustainable mental health!
I highly recommend this book. It was an easy read with great information.

Dr. Brown shares a message wonderful on self care, not only from his professional perspective but also shares his own journey and how he applied his advice in his own life, which I admire.

I found that this was great book filled with simple but effective suggestions for improving the reader's mental health. I just hope that the author did not scare some readers away when he mentioned some concerns he had with Black issues in the introduction.

I saw Doctor G. Scott Brown in an interview with Anchor Judy Woodruff of PBS NewsHour
and the next morning I bought the book as I thought he was touching on this subject from a different angle and I was curious. I res the book in one afternoon as It was hard to put it down.
If this topic interest you it is a must read.
Highly recommended.

This is a great book for those who want to learn how to practice the essential steps for healing the mind of anxiety and depression. Thank you Dr. Brown for providing easy and practicial steps that we can use to improve our lives. Spirituality is important to me, and has certainly helped me get through some stressful times in my life. Since reading your book now understand how important it has been in helping get clarity when making decisions that effect no only me, but others in my inner circle. I look forward to sharing this book with others as I know it will help many people understand how we hold the power to live our best life.
