Your Brain and Mental Health | Dr. Amen

Ending the stigma and idea of Mental Illness and cutting edge strategies for a healthy brain!
Mental health can be a touchy subject for all of us. Whether you are enduring it personally, watching a loved one go through it, or are struggling to understand it at all, it is a subject that has affected millions of lives directly and indirectly.
Because of its impact and the general lack of understanding surrounding this topic, I brought in the BEST of the BEST to answer your burning questions and to provide clarity to the issues that have been circling in your mind.
I am excited to bring you the brilliant mind of my friend Dr. Daniel Amen, a world-renowned leader in mental health and well-being. He is America’s #1 psychologist, a five-time New York Times best-selling author, and treats some of the most successful people in the world. Dr. Amen is attempting to end the idea of “mental illness” right before our eyes…
As mega-achievers, our drive for perfection can lead us to feeling depressed, anxious, or extremely stressed. We become overwhelmed. We aren't able to see how our current circumstance is working FOR us and not against us and leads us to believe that there is something fundamentally wrong with US... but this isn't the case!
Dr. Amen shares with you cutting edge strategies, and nutritional concepts that can change your entire life. He blew me away with his proven techniques that teach us how to have a healthier brain and is now revealing them to you.
He confirms that our thoughts don’t cause us to suffer, our attachment to our thoughts does. His concept of ANTS is groundbreaking and I can’t wait for you to learn about it!
You'll learn concrete ways to optimize brain health and treat the 11 major risk factors that steal your mind. We talk about the severity of concussions, circulation, inflammation, and easy, actionable ways you can start feeling better TODAY.
I asked specific questions about prescription medication, marijuana, hallucinogens, and natural remedies so that you have ALL of the information to serve you and your loved ones best.
Whether you struggle with mental health, know someone who is or you feel like you just can’t find a way to wrap your mind around it…..this interview is going to give you the ANSWERS you have been searching for.
Get your brain right, and your MIND will FOLLOW!

Dr. Amen is a true gift to mankind!

Shame holds too many people back from getting the help they need. No one is shamed for cancer, diabetes, or heart disease, even though they have significant lifestyle contributions. Likewise, no one should be shamed for depression, panic disorders, bipolar disorder, addictions, schizophrenia, or any other condition. But people with these issues are often blamed for their condition, called names, or told to “just get over it.” Social stigma-the biased attitudes coming from family, friends, coworkers, and others-is only part of the problem. By labeling these issues as “mental health” or “psychiatric,” people suffer in silence because of the shame they feel internally. They’re more likely to isolate themselves from their support network, which can exacerbate symptoms. In addition, they mistakenly think that having a condition like depression or anxiety is a character flaw or personal weakness. It isn’t. THANKS FOR HAVING ME ED!

[@evaang3616]

Dr. Daniel Amen 🙏🏼 thanks for this wonderful information. How do I deal with an adult child struggling with all the things you mentioned including being addicted to marijuana as his “medicine “ for being depressed, anxious, and not being stable with any job? He has a dui, and doesn’t do anything about it just goes in and out of ‘gigs’ and our home. He says he’ll be on the edge if we kick him out but he takes the energy of our home. I feel like I’m in a catch 22. Any suggestions?

[@ProfKisha]

I've had suicidal thoughts and never attempted until I started taking Ativan that was prescribed during an ER visit by a doctor I saw once. The psych ward visit after the attempt was horrid and pushed me to look into ways, outside of meds to make sure I'd never end up in a psych ward again. I'd love to know more specifically what my brain looks like and what I can do to increase my brain health. Definitely going to read all of this man's books.

[@karinaclement1817]

I really needed to hear this interview 😢 My mental health was great for a year and a half but 2 months ago the suicidal ideation came back. I've been walking and priming which helps tremendously but I need help. I'm going to meet with my family Dr. This week. Thank you so much, Dr. Amen and Ed.

Great episode. It's awesome to see him as a man of faith most psychologist or science people seem to have a hard time with believing in faith 🙏

LOVED the interview, but I also thought the 4 questions should have been credited to Byron Katie (I'm assuming they were originally hers). It's all amazing however! Ed, could you get Byron on the show!?!?!?!??!

Wow! Amazing! Mental health is medical not moral! ANTS! Dr. Amen your message changes people and saves people’s lives. After a decade of crazy trials, traumas and tragedies the only thing that saved me was challenging my thoughts and mind. My son passed away and I literally could feel where my brain was broken. Right lobe about 3/4ths the way back. I always wanted to get a brain scan to see what I was physically feeling. After a massive amount of healing and re-wiring my brain and memory and mindset have returned back to fully functioning. I am so excited for your book. Thank you for your work. 🙏🏻

Thank you so much for the interview. My mom was in a horrible accident, and it has affected her brain. I am always trying to promote her doing natural things first. It seems like when a traumatic event happens in her life, she gets off her medication. It's horrible. She is thankfully back on them. I am always trying to influence healthy eating and physical activity because I know it is very powerful for her brain and body. Thank you.

[@vitovittorio7928]

AMAZING, AMAZING Interview and Content!! LOVED this episode and is now my absolute favorite. This is very near and dear to my heart, especially knowing a very close young man who just recently took his life. This has opened up so many wonderful and now productive conversations. Thank you so much Ed for this episode.

[@pinkvalentino]

I just want to say thank you to both of you: Ed - for bringing all those amazing people & dr Amen - for seeing us "twisted/ broken" people as real humans and not forcing the agenda that we are sick. I've been suffering from depression, panic/ anxiety attacks for 20 years and I've always thought that there is something wrong with me until I actually started reading about the brain and realized I'm not a "psycho" :) I'm going to order the books.

[@EdMylettShow]

Incredibly happy to hear you could gain a new perspective from this interview! Keep spreading that love and positivity. God bless

I'm surprised Byron Katie wasnt given credit for those 4 questions and turn around. 1.Is it true? 2.Can you absolutely know that its true? 3.How do you react when you believe that thought? 4.Who would be without that thought? *Then turn it around* "The Work" by Byron Katie

[@allisonspriggs1555]

C G Is it possible that these are not new questions. The idea of questioning your thoughts has been around well before Byron Katie. Although I love her process and believe it helps many I also believe that this is not new or original to her!

[@IMR1717]

Absolutely! This is exactly BK's 'The Work' - not even the wording was changed.

Itzy Zaza just wondering if you could help me out with this one. My eldest son who is 24 now has been struggling since his early teens with all the things Described in this interview: depression, suicidal thoughts, not stable with any one job , has had dui and been addicted to marijuana and smoking as well. He goes in and out of our home very unstable even though we’ve set the ground rules for him. He doesn’t abide by them. He says the thought of being homeless gives him suicidal thoughts but we really want him out. His lifestyle drags our energy of the home. Please help.

Every day I see kids after school, the 1st thing I ask, is "what was your favorite part of the day?". Been doing this since they were in preK, now in 7 and 9th grade, my 7th grader can't wait to tell me, my 9th grade girl (full teenage drama), works on her download of info, then tells me her favorite part of her day. The nights with kids are always fun. I am currently dating a girl with a 11 year old, picked her up a couple times, she is already telling me her favorite part of the day. She is super excited to see me. I love these questions and what they lead to.
