Infectious Madness

Infectious Madness explores the emerging germ theory of mental illness, revealing how viruses, bacteria, and prions may play a role in conditions like Alzheimer's, OCD, and schizophrenia. Authored by Harriet Washington, the book delves into the latest research, suggesting that many cases could potentially be prevented or treated with strategies such as antibiotics and vaccinations. Combining scientific insights with practical advice, it offers a thought-provoking look at how infectious agents may influence mental health and how we can safeguard ourselves and our children.
