Surviving the Dysbiosphere
From: Secret Life of Your Microbiome

The international statistics on mental health in developed nations are troubling to say the least. In the United States 25 percent of the adult population reports having a mental illness in a given year, and 50 percent of adults over the course of a lifetime. Those are actual disorders. Primary interventions — pharmaceutical drugs and cognitive-behavioral therapy — can be powerfully effective. They just aren’t effective enough for everyone. Plus, they are often used after months or even years of suffering. Prevention of mental disorders desperately needs to be prioritized.
