Startlingly, we now know that our immune system is in constant communication with our brain and can directly alter our mental health. This has opened up a new frontier in medicine. Could inflammation cause depression, and arthritis drugs cure it? Can gut microbes shape your behaviour through the vagus nerve? Can something as simple as brushing your teeth properly reduce your risk of dementia? Could childhood infections lie behind neurological and psychiatric disorders such as tics and OCD?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Immune Mind\u003c\/em\u003e, Dr Monty Lyman explores the fascinating connection between the mind, immune system and microbiome.
