Points clés
When Your Brain Becomes Your Enemy-Or Your Healer
What if the very organ meant to protect you became the source of your suffering? Consider this: two people face identical circumstances-a rainy morning before a major event. One spirals into anxiety; the other feels calm anticipation. Same rain, same event, radically different mental states. The difference isn't in the weather-it's in how their brains construct reality. Mental health isn't simply what happens to us; it's what our brains actively build from the raw materials of experience. This construction project never stops, and understanding its architecture changes everything about how we approach mental wellbeing.
