How to End Mental Illness | Dr. Daniel Amen

I mean, "mental illness" and "brain health issues".....you're pretty much playing semantics. Those two things are pretty much synonymous.

Hindi translation would be more beneficial for Indian sub Continent. Hope you people will work in this regard 🌹🙏🌹

Does mental 'illness exist

I love your podcasts! I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner and I’m floored! I was never taught any of this! My question is, I’m wondering how to help patients who have Medicaid, and whose insurance covers none of these treatments. Many of my patients don’t even have extra money to pay for supplements. How do I help my indigent patient population?

Ask a recovering addict what worked for them. Most all addicts are self medicating some wound. The wound could be physical, mental, emotional or ongoing trauma and/or despair in their life. Addiction is ALWAYS a symptom of something else going on. Fix that and teach them how to love and care for themselves and stop criminalizing addiction (is diabetes a crime??). The medical field and government are making billions keeping you addicted. They are the last people to know what helps an addict.

He has nothing nice to say to fat people and for contact sports. A brutal man.

I'd love to hear more and chat with you both guys!!

I love listening to the doctor he is one of my favorite counselors

Unfortunately, some counselors.
We'll say it's ok to have A affair outside of your mabridge. It will increase your happiness in your marriage if you commit adultery. That is worse Is marital advice that you can give to someone. Especially if you have a christian belief. There's always a good reason why God says do not commit adultery or foreign education.But if you go to a counselor that does not understand your religious believe.Then you're just going to be doomed so watch who you go and get advice from. Most of the council is raid in the scriptures if you follow them. For example a man is supposed to treat his wife like his own body and a woman is supposed to look up to her husband and give him respect but he does not get respect if he's a tyrant or abusive. Etc. There are some very good counselors out. There are also through their own personal advice can be narcissistic and thrive off of giving advibe careful.

I absolutely love these doctors helping with brain wellness. I absolutely agree that we have to look at this as brain wellness treatment. I think more people would feel positive about going for mental health treatment if we could encourage framing it around brain wellness treatment . Wow, who wouldn't then want to treat their brain with brain wellness treatments.

The brain and body are one. Brain scans tell a very small part of the setting, not the plot of mental health problems. Inflammation in body is a better marker and has more to do with mood than a brain scan.

I had been in this when I was a baby! And because of that I have ADHD! I could never learn! I also bang my head. I had a big bump size of an egg on my left side of my head.! and you're right I need a CAT scan. I know something is wrong with my! Brain

You are true healers 💖

I am so glad I stumbled across this video! I always wondered why my psychiatrists never did a brain scan. I’ve been in psychiatric treatment since I was 11. Went on disability in my early 20s. I’m 30 now and tried everything. I pay close attention to my vitamin and food intake, exercise daily, don’t drink, don’t do drugs. I’ve spent multiple years of my life in therapy and psychiatric hospitals. Tried over 15 medications. Nothing worked. I still have to find a way to get better and do research online because I refuse to give up on my life! I am aware western medicine and current mental health treatments aren’t holistic/integral enough to help people like me, so I am pretty much on my own trying to find treatments and methods that help me.

My dream is to help homeless people and do charity work when I’m healthy enough to do so. Or maybe start a family. I luckily live in a county that provides me with an apartment and basic income to cover expenses for food, which I’m very thankful for. I don’t have a support system due to my social anxiety and barely leave my home, so having modern resources like online therapy or discussion forums help me immensely.

Thanks for sharing this video and your knowledge. 💕 This doctor‘s positivity is contagious.

This is very interesting

I would love for him to look at my brain ❤

What about people who are addicted to foods....? We need an in patient treatment for food addiction that is affordable for everyone. 🤔

That is so true about psychiatrists not looking at the brain or nutrition etc. I can’t wait to read your book about adhd. My daughter was just diagnosed and I’m about to.

How to get treated by your clinic. Where is your clinic located at.

Thank you Dr's for being on top of things knowing ur stuff. 😊❤

Does Dr. Amen accept Medicaid or provide free or affordable services? Those are the people who need the help the most>

Thank you both for discussing this topic! This gives me hope and inspiration as a vegan with high triglycerides. I'm on a journey to cleaning up my blood and improving my brain health. I appreciate this information and think it's so interesting and would make such a difference if how the brain works and brain health was taught in health class for general studies. I'm hoping that getting oil out, fasting and eating plant based will lower triglycerides.

someone please help me learn how to eat healthier

Hello mentors

Can I get a brain scan in the uk?

To do such wonderful work with Rick Warren, only to have him fall out of the church into apostacy. Pray for the man.

pls how can i cure my anxiety permanently

I'm with Dr. Hyman about that nobel prize!!

Anything this simplified is SNAKE OIL.

He makes it sound so easy! He isn't in the state some of us people are in. I cant watch this guy again! Wasted hours yesterday.

Dr. Amen I just ordered your book Memory Rescue and I hope the mental illness stops with my children’s generation. My kids are 31,26,22,and 16 and I hope that none of them have mental illness. Or mental issues. I want to know if my mom suffers from mental illness and my brother. He is deaf doesn’t sign doesn’t speak and has C.P and I want to know if he has OCD or if he has Anxiety, just does he have a chemical imbalance does my mom too ? My father has passed away.. He died from Lung cancer from being exposed to Agent Orange. He was 56.

Anyways it would be a Dream come True if we could all get the scan in my family. I just know they are costly.. and I know we may not have the health insurance to get one or the money.. but I am hoping we can get help…

My mom needs help , I wish Dr. Amen could see my mom and my brother and do this SPECT scan on them and me, and I want this so we can get some answers as to what happened to my brothers brain ? How and why he has so much brain damage? Why did it happen to him and is it Hereditary? My mom is 78, my brother is 47, and I’m 53. I just want this to bring my mom some peace on what has happened to my brother and I want to know even if she doesnt want to know, she currently has Parkinson’s and I am being told I’m at risk of getting Dementia and I also have been told I have ADD, Anxiety, OCD, and Social Pragmatic Communication Disorder, and now PTSD. Please help us Dr. Amen. I’m actually on Disabilty but I’m about to attempt to get another college degree, I’ve started reading a lot over the last year and I feel that has helped my brain

America is a strange and wonderful country. We have finally discovered the meaning of functional medicine, that has been forcefully obscured by the big pharmaceutical industry. Mazl tov.

Where in California is his brain scan center? My mom has severe brain issues evident by her thought processes, decision making, physical head trauma. She is currently in Escalon California.
I want to look into her getting a scan. She is a victim of extreme poverty due to her choices and is only 65 yrs old. Never even took drugs, alcohol,or medications. Been a lifetime of stress for me and I am desperately concerned all the time.

I wish I could afford a scan

This my help me. I don't think someone severly disabled it can only go so far.

Two genius.

How to get Dr to check brain?

My son struggles daily.ty for info

imagine trying to heal the mind without ever looking at the brain. wow. this hit especially hard because I'm av very concern about the meds my daughter rs on sure it controls her manic behavior because its erases he personality, her vitality and cognitive skills. She walks around like a robot and cannot seem to hold a job. She was once an articulate vibrant teacher and poet. She lost over 40 pounds and i am very worried about the treatment she receives

One of our most favorite podcasts of all time. As someone who took antidepressants for almost 10 years I love Dr. Amen’s new approach. We need a restructuring in the psychiatric field.

🥰💘

Great video!!! So true! Well done on the interview and books. I put my carb coma unhappy apathetic 16 year old on keto and intermittent fasting and WOW the difference is unreal!!! (I started keto first because of my own carb and sugar coma.!) gut is everything. Hippocrates was right 2,500 years ago…. 🎉❤

Does anyone else find it awkward and uncomfortable that he divulged that much personal information about his nieces and sister-in-law (all by name) in the service of selling his narrative? There’s a hole that needs mending. Geez.

Wait a minute! What genes cause mental problems??? No genes have ever been discovered. Your making that up Dr. Amen.
