Yet, there is currently no definitive source of information that shows how hormones can bridge the gap between mental health and medical health modalities.This book is a bold crossover between the disciplines of medical and mental health, exploring the understanding that some of the major mental diagnoses belong not only to the field of mental health but also to that of medicine.
