Throughout the centuries psychiatric disorders have caused more emotional and physical suffering than any other human condition yet despite modern advances in neuroscience the underlying cause of these perplexing conditions remains unclear Also lacking is an understanding of the manifold ways that the underlying driver of mental illness can affect physical health However all of that could be about to change thanks to God s grace and the tireless efforts of the many clinicians researchers and thinkers around the world who have continued to probe virtually every aspect of human psychology biology and behavior in an effort to solve the mystery of mental illness The integration of their hard work and one doctor s relentless efforts to get to the root of mental illness has led to a new hypothesis that integrates the traditional belief that nearly all psychiatric disorders are caused by environmental stress with the emerging belief that nearly all psychiatric disorders are caused by brain pathology The new hypothesis which is the first to combine psychology biology neuroanatomy neurophysiology neurocircuitry neuroarchitecture molecular genetics and mind-brain dynamics to explain virtually every phenomenon that has been observed in psychology and psychiatry is based on the simple premise that psychiatric symptoms are driven by pathological hyperactivity in the brain circuits that correspond to them The most common cause of this hyperactivity is cognitive-emotional stress superimposed upon a constitutional hyperexcitability of the neurological system The recognition of this simple but elusive dynamic is beginning to revolutionize the treatment of mental illness It has catapulted Dr Binder s success rate in treating a wide range of psychiatric disorders including major depressive disorder bipolar disorder generalized anxiety disorder panic disorder OCD PTSD and schizophrenia from around thirty percent to nearly one-hundred percent and reduced the average time to symptom- reduction from around six months to six days What s more this pathology-based approach to treatment is more normalizing more sustainable and more affordable than any other treatment modality yet developed To learn more listen to this episode Valeria interviews Dr Michael Binder a holistic adult and adolescent psychiatrist neuroscientist and pioneer of the first comprehensive psychophysiological hypothesis of psychiatric disorders With more than thirty years of clinical experience treating a wide range of psychiatric disorders Dr Binder has published 25 peer-reviewed scientific articles 7 books and 45 educational YouTube videos Over the last twenty-five years he has enjoyed a success rate that is now approaching 100 and due to his extraordinarily high patient retention rate has been able to observe the long-term sustainability of his treatment approach thus validating his work more strongly than most research studies are designed to do Despite having trained at some of the best psychiatric teaching hospitals in the Untied States Dr Binder was early in his career disappointed to find that less than half of his patients were responding adequately to psychological and pharmacological interventions Moreover even after consulting with some of his most distinguished professors Dr Binder s success rate in treating patients remained unacceptably low However unwilling to accept the limitations of psychiatric care at that time Dr Binder began to pray for his patients and ask God to help him develop a more effective treatment approach The Lord answered his prayers by alerting him to his own need for spiritual healing He also began to enlighten him about the underlying cause of mental illness a revelation that has taken the doctor more than two decades to fully grasp implement and reduce to writing In January of 2024 Dr Binder completed The Racing Mind Brave New Insights Untangle the Ancient Mystery of Mental Illness The doctor firmly believes that this 336-page comprehensive textbook of psychiatry which has been more than twenty years in the making would if turned into a curriculum for every psychiatric training program in the country bring a swift end to the mental health crisis Beginning in April of this year The Racing Mind which is valued at 3 000 00 will for a limited-time introductory offer of 250 00 be available at BinderFoundation com To learn more about Dr Michael Binder and his work please visit https drmichaelbindermd com https www binderfoundation com and https www youtube com binderfoundationClick here to visit this podcast episode
