When Neurons Tell Stories A Layman's Guide to the Neuroscience of Mental Illness and Health Erin Hawkes-

This new book by Erin Hawkes-Emiru brings neuroscience to life by postulating why neuroanatomy and neurochemicals matter when you are living with mental illness and addiction. Erin, whose graduate education is in Neuroscience, works as a peer support worker in Vancouver, Canada; the stories told in this book are those of her clients. Erin’s empathy for her clients is built on her own diagnosis of schizophrenia. In this book, she opens for the layman the neuroscience that may underlie not only the symptoms of mental illness and addiction, but also mental health more broadly.
