What produces mental illness: genes, environment, both,neither? The
answer can be found in memes-replicable units of information
linking genes and environment in the memory and in culture-whose
effects on individual brain development can be benign or toxic.
This book reconceptualizes mental disorders as products of
stressful gene-meme interactions and introduces a biopsychosocial
template for meme-based diagnosis and treatment. A range of
therapeutic modalities, both broad-spectrum (meditation) and
specific(cognitive-behavioral), for countering negative memes and
their replication are considered, as are possibilities for memetic
prevention strategies. In this book, the author outlines the roles
of genes and memes in the evolution of the human brain; elucidates
the creation, storage, and evolution of memes within individual
brains; examines culture as a carrier and supplier of memes to the
individual; provides examples of gene-meme interactions that can
result in anxiety, depression, and other disorders; proposes a
multiaxial gene-meme model for diagnosing mental illness;
identifies areas of meme-based prevention for at-risk children; and
defines specific syndromes in terms of memetic symptoms, genetic/
memetic development, and meme-based treatment.
