Document Summary
The brain develops from back to front. The hindbrain is strongly implicated in the fight/flight response. The midbrain is involved with regulating emotions. Sleep is always affected in some way in mental illness. The forebrain helps plan for the future, to be motivated. It is basically the adult part of the brain that helps you function.

Hippocampus: essential role in creating new memories around the emotions. It is really important when working with people with phobias or anxiety. Endocrine system: part of the peripheral nervous system. The hpa is in charge of integrating the endocrine and the nervous system. All drug therapy is either increasing or decreasing neurotransmitters.
