Mental Illness is a subject that a lot of people are ignorant about, and they have the wrong perceptionand ideas about the condition. Ask someone about mental illness, and his or her understanding is sufficiently ignorant as to believe this is all about insanity. But mental illness goes beyond being insane. It manifests itself in many symptoms that people are unaware of.

Many of the causes of mental illness are not known. Over the years, various possible theories have been kicked around, but the cure for mental illness is unknown. What is known and what has varied over the years are the numerous methods that have been employed to relieve and reduce the symptoms of mental illness. A World Health Organization (WHO) report puts the number of people who have a mental disorder at one in four.

As humans, we often forget that one of the most important things that differentiate us from other species is the complexity of our nervous system. The way our brain interacts through nerves to bring about actions and reactions, whether externally or internally, is often taken for granted. But the truth is, when it comes to how our nervous system works, there's a lot going on that we should be aware of.

And most important amongst them are neurotransmitters, the small molecules release from nerves that result in certain actions or reactions.

If you've ever wondered how our brain interacts with the rest of our body, and how messages get sent back and forth, then you've come to the right place. With the knowledge you will get from this book, your friends and family will marvel at the information you can share and just how well-read you are about one of the most important biological features of the body.

In this book, we will be taking a look at:
- What neurotransmitters are and how they work.
- Diseases that occur when neurotransmitters don't work properly.
- Drugs that can mimic the action of some neurotransmitters.
