"In Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess, Dr. Leaf discusses her search for answers to perplexing questions concerning mental health--and shows how our psyche and emotions release physiological chemicals that negatively affect us cognitively, behaviorally, and emotionally. She sets out to prove that although we must live in a world filled with stressors that keep us in perpetual states of anxiety, we can mitigate these negative effects through self-awareness and simple practices. By understanding the nature of such stressors, which are major contributing factors to mental illness, we will find a remedy stronger than any pharmaceutical--a strategy I call 'mind over matter.'"
