[저자 북토크] "내가 나약해서 무기력한 게 아닙니다" 우울과 무기력의 진짜 원인은 '몸의 대사'에 있습니다 | 『몸이 마음을 만든다』 윤대현 교수

"Did I become lethargic because I am too sensitive and weak?" A fundamental prescription for those who have endlessly clung to self-reflection while blaming themselves. This is the scene of the author's book talk for The Body Makes the Mind (Minumsa), featuring the latest trends in mind care presented by Professor Yoon Dae-hyun of the Department of Psychiatry at Seoul National University Hospital. Until now, we have attempted to resolve issues of burnout, depression, and anxiety solely through psychological factors. However, Professor Yoon emphasizes that mental health must be viewed from the perspective of a "metabolic system" where the brain and the entire body are interconnected. When the brain overspeeds excessively, causing exhaust fumes (free radicals) to surge and exhausting mitochondria, our body forcibly shuts off the engine to protect itself. This is the true nature of the "lethargy" we experience. Discover the fascinating connections in brain-body science: how "rumination"—the endless repetition of thoughts trapped in past regrets—increases chronic inflammation in the body and accelerates brain aging, and why psychiatrists have come to focus on blood sugar, cholesterol, and visceral fat. 💌 *See more news from Choi Ina Books* Instagram:   / inabooks   Official Website: https://inabooks.com/ #TheBodyMakesTheMind #YoonDaeHyun #ChoiInaBooks #BookTalk #MetabolicPsychiatry
