Metamorphus - Mental Health

Challenge 19: Cook a meal today with Omega 3's!

The brain is incredibly sensitive to inflammation, not the type you can feel but the type of inflammation that is below the perception of pain. I term this cellular inflammation. What makes this type of inflammation so disruptive is that it causes a breakdown in signaling between cells. What causes cellular inflammation is an increase in the omega-6 fatty acid known as arachidonic acid (AA). From this fatty acid comes a wide range of inflammatory hormones known as eicosanoids that are the usual suspects when it comes to inflammation. This is why anti-inflammatory drugs (aspirin, non-steroid anti-inflammatories, COX-2 inhibitions and corticosteroids) all have a single mode of action-to inhibit the formation of these inflammatory eicosanoids. These drugs, however, can't cross the blood-brain barrier that isolates the brain from a lot of noxious materials in the blood stream. So when the brain becomes inflamed, its only protection is adequate levels of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids. But what happens when the levels of omega-3 fatty acids are low in the brain? The answer is increased neuro-inflammation and continual disruption of signaling between nerves.

Roberta Marin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, born and raised in Munich, Germany, where she studied the works of Sigmund Freud, and other notable German and Austrian psychologists, in their original German editions. Then earned undergraduate and masters degrees in Psychology at City University in London as well as New York University and Columbia University in New York.

After completing studies, she worked as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) at Columbia University and Kafko Psychological Services. Over the years, she has developed her own approach to therapy, pulling elements from both the Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral philosophies, in order to provide deep, yet practical direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ("CBT") is goal-oriented and solution-focused, whereas the more traditional Psychodynamic perspective allows us to reflect on our journeys in order to appreciate who we are today. Through her own experience, Roberta has found the interplay between uncovering the past to then utilize these discoveries as a tool to better understand the present to be highly effective in her work.
