Dr. Amen on How to Improve Brain Health, ADHD, Fighting Negative Thinking, BPD & More

[@elainelerma9356]

I think that giving attention to kids and teaching is extremely important. I was neglected as a child and had a low self esteem . I raised my children to be extremely confident and successful. I gave them attention, had expectations of them. They had to do their homework they had to have good friends and be picky while choosing their friends. They had to wash their clothes and be good with time management. Write things down on a calendar. Be patient and kind to them and they will grow and bloom. I tell them I love them I help them if they need it. I don’t believe in making them suffer they don’t have to.

[@DonnDenisse]

I remember few years back after my wife died, I was left alone with 3 kids. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with BPD. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 8 years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.

[@NetaZjdb]

I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.

[@ErnestoHorner88]

Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them

[@CathieGomez-mp8sk]

YES sure of mycologist Predroshrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, addiction. Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

[@canerbakar-jv2si]

I'm so very happy for you mate, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.

[@BetterDays_Now]

Not all add / adhd people create chaos, conflict, fighting, annoying, antagonising, pushing buttons, temper tantrums, etc. Some are horribly, intentionally obnoxious. Some are just quiet and calm and kind. Innatentive, trying very hard to maintain focus. Some are in-between. .

Your brain requires certain amount of protein daily to feel satisfied. If you feed your brain early in the day with protein and fat. No sugar or carbs. Then you will have a day free of cravings. Try it, you will. For example boiled eggs and avocado slices. Avocado es the perfect companion for a breakfast meal🎉❤god bless.

What adderall you got? I bet they put you on slow acting one as I think no one prescribes fast acting one anymore. Also you should never go on more than 5mg a day and do it like 4 days on and 3 days of. Look on Leo's channel where he talks about how he literally got rid if his ADHD. His biohacking knowledge is superb.

[@Djwhynotlove]

I have 80HD 😂 & my twin brother doesn't. He is smart as heck, doing honors calculus freshman year and tutoring seniors one semester in. I struggled with math A for 3 years. I succeeded in art and music but my life was crap if I wasn't constantly holding the raines. I didn't get diagnosed til my mid 30's and by then I haven't had a good job. Only being a wedding and party dj for 20 something years. When I was in continuation school, I thrived because I wasn't rushed and I could enjoy science, but I barely got my GED. Both parents were alcoholics and being the youngest of 11 and the only one hyperactive, my family didn't have the patients or willingness to figure me out. 😢

[@Kirkble-d2c]

When you speak of your twin brother, he is likely 2e (twice exceptional) which is similar to an ADHD diagnosis. The difference is that his gifting outshines and may even camouflage his difference/disorder. And the opposite can also be true. A kid in school with typical neurodivergent traits may only be seen for the struggles and their giftedness missed. For example your 9th grade math teacher would never have the chance to see how you outshine others in music and art. It’s not normal for the twin to be that smart. Even that gift is still neurodivergent and I bet it came with a lag in some other area. Even areas like emotional maturity as a child, growing up. He could have been way behind

[@CiaoFooTanks4AllTheFish]

Consequences are not good for people whose brains are deeply anxious or depressed. Stealing their work and doing it for them is not right either. It does take away their self-esteem. ADHD has all of the above. Show us how once. Not tell us we will have consequences. If your way doesn't work for them, then have an alternative way they will develop it but show them your way too.

Yes, I understand it can come across as rude. But I think the point he was trying to make , is that people are getting diagnosed left right and center with BPD and there is a stigma associated with it. He prefers to distance himself from the stigma and rather to go look for the underlying cause, which is usually trauma. And the good news is, that he can treat:)

[@minakondner458]

I have a lot of respect for Dr. Amen, but his idea about school work and ADD is not acceptable to me. With more than 40 years of experience teaching children who were very hard to handle, I have learned so much from them. Teaching the right methods from the basics and paying attention to each child's learning pace can make a hyperactive child very attentive. While I do not have Dr. Ameen's knowledge of the brain, I believe he lacks the experience of teaching. Though I know he is very honest, I question how quickly Ratline can teach a child. A child who is not a fluent reader typically has basic phonics problems that one week of Ratline cannot address. This seems unrealistic to me. If a fourth grader does not know multiplication, he cannot learn long division, not even with 10 weeks of Ratline. I have witnessed many successes from returning to the basics and respecting each student's pace and learning ability. While I admire Dr. Amen, I expect him to discuss learning and school issues with people who have successfully taught children who were diagnosed and overcame their labels.' not with main stream thinking about our innocent children. I am not referring to the experience of mainstream teaching ideas, just as Dr. Amen does not adhere to mainstream thinking in medicine. This is why people like me watch his every podcast. I admire his bold ideas about alcohol and drugs, and I wish I could show him the results of teaching from the basics from an early age. It works like magic, instead of giving so many children of this great nation pills, There are constructive solution for ADD.
