We may feel overwhelming joy at the birth of a child, crippling terror at the sight of an intruder in our home, or unbearable sadness upon the death of a loved one. While we may be surprised at the force of our feelings, they are normal and are not a cause for concern. What's concerning is when strong emotions cause us to spin out of control and make us behave in ways we later wish we hadn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eUntangling the Mind\u003c\/em\u003e, Dr. George explains how to: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Identify the difference between a legitimate emotional reaction and a pathological one\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Understand the biological basis of your hard-wired reactions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Recognize why your distress is caused by a neurological malfunction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. George, a psychiatrist, has accessed the most cutting-edge technology, such as fMRI, facial analysis, PET scans, and chemical infusions. With this technology, he is able to provide a deep understanding of the inner workings of the brain that can portray a clear picture of what happens--chemically and physically--when we get depressed, act out, or fall into an addiction.
