One in six American adults take psychiatric medication and yet, doctors are only allotted twenty-minute appointments that are spaced out by months at a time. This book starts at minute twenty-one and is filled with everything you wish your doctor had time to explain about mental health. Nearly sixty million American adults struggle with mental illness but half are not receiving any treatment and only a quarter of them have access to psychotherapy. With demand for treatment far outpacing supply, our current mental health crisis requires a new approach that goes beyond the limitations of the health care system.

Dr. Julia Krankl, a Harvard and UCLA-trained psychiatrist, trauma resilience specialist and physician educator details her mental wellness menu-fifteen practical ways to improve mental health that don't involve taking a pill or doing formal therapy. Readers of The 21st Minute will be empowered to become the hero of their mental wellness journey using tools that work. The 21st Minute bridges the gap between what doctors hurriedly explain in twenty minutes and what we all need to thrive. For physicians and therapists who practice holistic mental health care, The 21st Minute stands as an evidence-based resource of alternatives and adjuncts to medication management and psychotherapy.

The 21st Minute offers an accessible and transformative roadmap to optimal mental wellness using modern medicine, evolutionary psychology and diverse cultural perspectives. If you are ready for a new approach to achieve your mental health goals on your terms-this is it.
