The main message for me is really that there are a lot of factors that go along in the body that affect the brain, and many of those have been in the media, but there's still a hell of a lot of research that needs to be done for us to understand it.
What happens when your mind turns against you? In this gripping episode of 'All In The Mind', host Lynne Malcolm unpacks the harrowing story of Mariana Turner, an Australian teenager who suddenly faced severe psychiatric symptoms. Diagnosed with a rare condition causing brain inflammation, Mariana's journey from confusion to clarity is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. Through candid interviews with Mariana and leading medical experts, the episode sheds light on the often overlooked challenges of diagnosing and treating brain inflammation.
You'll hear firsthand accounts of the emotional and psychological toll this condition takes on patients and their families. Mariana’s determination to inspire others going through similar struggles is nothing short of uplifting. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the complexities of brain health and the human spirit's resilience.
