"Go ahead and try:  You can't even browse this book and not be moved.  It contains surprising information that could save our families, our society, and our future.  Read it now --- before it's too late."

"Biological Unhappiness is a must read for everyone working in health care today, and also for patients, families and friends.  It is easy for the lay person to read and understand, and serves as an important mental health reference book.  I feel exceptionally fortunate to have worked with Dr. Heller for more than 8 years, and he has taught me an enormous amount about the newest scientific research of mental disorders and his vision for treatment application.  TheHOPE Dr. Heller offers in Biological Unhappiness - especially for so called "untreatable" disorders - is backed by real observable successes for real people."
Mary Elizabeth Sales, M.S.W., A.C.S.W., L.C.S.W., Psychotherapist and Certified Family Mediator (C.F.M.)

"Leland M. Heller's book, "Biological Unhappiness" will be helpful and useful to so many people challenged by 'emotional disorders.'  Heller advocates taking charge of your own life and outlines ways to begin to take responsibility for how you face the challenges.  Certainly, taking the reins of your own experience can only help you - regardless of your diagnosis."
Barry Neil Kaufman, author, Happiness is a Choice, Director of The Option Institute

"This important book opens your mind and increases your awareness to the fact that there are problems that people experience caused by factors beyond your control.  A deeply insightful book."
Brian Tracy, motivational speaker, business consultant, author, The Psychology of Achievement, The Science of Self-Confidence, Peak Performance Woman, The Universal Laws of Success and Achievement, How to Master Your Time.

"This book, I believe, is a necessity for the patient, and for anyone who feels they are not enjoying life to the fullest.  Many of us find ourselves in these pages, where no doctor has found us before.  Biological Unhappiness provides hope to all of us that suffer needlessly and a "map" for doctors in treating these patients."
Patty Pheil, M.S.W., Webowner, "Mental Health Today" website

"Both of Dr. Heller's books, Biological Unhappiness and Life at the Border offer unique and perceptive insights into the complex interplay between biology and human behavior.  He offers hope to many who have been previously stigmatized and incorrectly treated by offering us approaches that work to facilitate healing from a variety of disorders."
Laura Paxton author of"Borderline and Beyond: A Program of Recovery from Borderline Personality Disorder" LauraPaxton.com

"As an ER nurse I saw a lot of Psych cases come through the door.  Dr Heller's book has given me great insight and understanding to these disorders.  It also showed me that for approximately 80% of the mental health cases I saw the patient was either under treated or not treated correctly at all.  'Biological Unhappiness' should be in all ER's as an adjunct to training and as a reference book."
Tim Pheil, LPN.

He believes most of these "disorders" are not really illnesses at all, but are survival systems that were enormously advantageous for mankind in the past, but cause significant problems in today's society.

These "biological disorders" are underdiagnosed and undertreated today.  In his books and this Website, Dr. Heller assists physicians, mental health providers, patients and their loved ones with explanations of the diagnoses, how to make those diagnoses, how to treat them, and how to treat them in combination.

"As a Family Physician, I have a different perspective on mental health than those that deal only with mental health issues.

I have treated thousands of patients for the disorders involving "Biological Unhappiness." In my practice, I also emphasize diabetes, preventive medicine, mind/body medicine, health and nutrition, and complex problems such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and persistent depression.  I've always had an interest in sorting out and resolving complex problems.

From Dr. Heller:

I've been involved with mental health issues for over a decade.  This is my second book.  My first is "Life at the Border - Understanding and Recovering from the Borderline Personality Disorder." In my regular practice, I see patients with the BPD (borderline personality disorder) from all over the world."
