New book by my colleague who continues doing groundbreaking work in mental health, Dr. Steve Rondeau

You know that moment when your child's provider starts typing a prescription before you even finish explaining what's happening at home? It can feel like the answer is already decided. There’s a reason this keeps happening.

Most psychiatric diagnoses still rely on checklists instead of testing what is actually happening in your child’s brain. Providers care, but the system wasn’t built with better tools. Other medical fields moved past this long ago. Cardiologists don’t guess about heart function. Oncologists don’t skip biopsies. Yet in mental health, we are still sorting symptoms and hoping treatments work.

When families (and you providers) understand this gap, everything shifts. It reframes the conversation and helps you see your child not as “broken,” but as someone whose brain has not been fully understood.

This is why I wrote Think Like a Brain.

Discovery of a vulnerability in Borrelia burgdorferi opens to door to potential new therapies for Lyme disease. Researchers used electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) imaging and electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy to study changes inside the living bacteria at the atomic level. Published today.

Thanks to Dr. Peter D’Adamo for alerting us to this article.

Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which relies on the antioxidant manganese to protect it from its host’s immune system. Both removing or adding too much manganese weakens the bacteria. Disrupting this balance could lead to new treatments for Lyme disease.
