> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aW9g23mwCLg&feature=relatedI watched the 1 1/2 program last night and was a bit disappointed. Some good info on the different parts of the brain and their functions. He also gave good advice on diet and exercise. However the problem with mental illness goes deeper than diet and exercise. Many people exercise diligently and follow a good diet and still suffer from mental disorders.
