But, what if instead of just reading this comment from a random guy that clearly can't just mind his own business and going on with your life, you took a second to think. I want you Gloria to find a moment and a place where you're alone and think about what you can do , think about actions that you can take to solve your problems. I can probably give you some as working out so that you lose weight or adopting a healthy diet for your blood and diabetes problems but those are my ideas and my guess is that they won't work out with you. Rather than that you have to search for actions and habits or even passions that YOU like, that you can do almost daily and that will help you become a better Gloria. Decide and commit yourself to do them. Thank you for reading this comment, I know it's long, I know I need serious help to shut my mouth but I hope I have been a help to you.

RE: Dr. Amen's mention of diet in hospitals and organizations- it is a horrific fact that classed by the food industry as "secondary markets" (meaning that is where they send the substandard food that does not get sold in "primary markets") are: prisons; schools; hospitals; nursing homes and long term care facilities. In other words, the most vulnerable parts of our population that are most in need of good nutrition are getting the worst quality food, sanctioned by the good old FDA.

Hi

[@catrinacantrell5466]

I got PTSD as a small child and I was given medications and behavior classes and it was repetitive nightmares everyday and praying for death and ask god to help me and finding people and information like this has been a miracle in my life. I found a hernia been blocking blood flow and the signals for me to breathe and stuff and I kept saying my brain was broken and it took many doctors to get a scan and not more bad diagnosis medications being pushed. I thought my doctors are out to kill me. I'm not there yet but my thoughts and moods and inner life have gotten better. Thanks for understanding and putting this out there. Reform should be a priority even the foods in the stores aren't as healthy as the once were. Some ingredients are so toxic there banned in other countries. I'm 45 and even before having any surgery to relieve the pressure I been doing some of these healthy techniques and I was awake and not as afraid anymore. I believe many people who have generational PTSD from hard lives and bad health , military, anyone could use this way of thinking then how it's been. Pay doctors outright get rid of the insurance companies. I see people out here just not themselves and it's to do with the media and the drug pushers and old ways of doing things. Thanks. Many blessings. I'm trying to find a program to be in near Fargo ND. Codependency and huge issues with some who are in oppression or slavery type situations and many feel caught between the system then messes them up and the streets and I been there but doing some research and find a therapist or doctor that helped me get out of survival mode after 40 years of trying everything. I think this has alot of truth in it and Amen God answers prayers. Thank you.

Oh my, the number of people just focused on the fact he's a christian... Seriously people???!! Seriously? He said so much useful stuff, you could read research that proves or disproves it, talk to your doctor, but nope, you have to tell the world your opinion on religion. Because the fact he's a psychiatrist, the fact he researched stuff on brains, the fact he saw scans of so many brains, well none of that counts, because he goes to church -_- The reason why he was talking so much about church was because it is a community and he believes (rightly) that to address a problem, it's very effective to go and talk about it in a community... He happens to be part of a religious community, so that's where he started. Can people stop being close minded?

[@JG-mt3rp]

+LancelotGraal I think the problem with his faith is that it invalidates his work to a degree. To subscribe to a destructive mental framework like religion whilst simultaneously presuming to lecture others on "brain health" feels wrong to people - particularly given that he doesn't address this conflict.

[@jchinckley]

The idea that faith invalidates anyone's work is idiotic. What might invalidate it is his character and moral values, or lack thereof. If he professes one thing and does or says another or tries to deceive people with dishonest science, then that would be something that invalidates it. But faith? If you think faith alone invalidates ("to a degree") his work, then you don't have any understanding of what real faith even is.

[@aaronwhitby3712]

The problem many of us have with ‘believes’ is that they have the ability to believe in absolute truths, received wisdom and are overly comfortable with authority. Psychiatry is one of the most unscientific areas of medicine also so this man whose ego is large enough to name his religiously encouraged health program after himself strikes some of us as a questionable source. Much of the science may be right but also many of us know incredible 80 year olds who smoke, drink, eat meat and dairy and are still smarter and as intellectually active if not more so than anyone else in our lives. The search for a perfect life is a fools errand.

best speech i have heard till now

[@djw8888]

One of the best TED talks I've ever heard, and this includes regular TED talks too. Great use of humor. Feeling motivated to improve now. I don't even mind the religious aspects that crop in occasionally...looking at that as a form of communal spiritualism. Not a churchgoer myself but a camper. In the great outdoors, I admire and ponder the creations of God / universal energy there. 🙂 ☮

[@johncho1040]

what a good speech! Thank you for your support. God bless you!

[@indata1542]

wow, this is the best TED Talk, after watching this video, I realized I'd been hurting my brain for a long time and now I'm going to start healing it.

[@honomuhawaii]

This should become widespread public knowledge --especially in the government sectors of mental health, the department of corrections, and also department of education....please keep promoting this information!

Hello beautiful Wendy how are you doing

[@jailenenlopezhernandez824]

What a brilliant Ted Talk. You are a true outlier. Thank you. May you inspire generations of psychiatrists

[@internal.inferno2088]

Wired sent me here. I watched his "Brain Support" absolutely amazing. I'm recently free of depression but have a long way to go with anxiety, PTSD etc. I'm trying to change my life with positive people. This guy is definitely one of them. How amazing! He blows my mind!

[@salmahindi7592]

I just enjoyed Receiving all the informations and writing it on my Note book ! I'm 17 and I'm scared to lose my brain's health

You are 20 now

[@shirgold898]

I feel lucky for hearing this talk! Thank you for this valuable content! 🙏🙏

[@rajeevbiswas5853]

I am so unbelievably lucky to have come across you , Sir...& I honestly believe that countless other souls across the globe ought to feel similarly, too , if not exactly...& so much more, that I am falling short of words to express it. And I am no way flattering or exaggerating a bit.

[@mohdasif2542]

I have never ever experienced that type of talk. Thanks for your wonderful talk!

[@geladeramovel]

May god give you double everything for what he has taught us!!!

[@lililiu8446]

this is definitely the best ted talk I've ever listened! thanks, doctor!

[@sophiag2348]

This man is incredible! God bless him 🙏 thank you for sharing

[@marias7880]

The value of this talk is priceless!

[@ReitaEliSama]

I am convinced that up to the moment I tuned in to this lecture, I had not heard a more comprehensive (within the given time limits) guide of how to have a happy life. Because a healthy body and mind (and this means healthy habits also within the branch of one's psyche = e.g. avoid ANTs) are the basis which allows to stay stable even during hard times. And to all of you, who depreciate this man for the reason he hold to a certain faith: did he mention anything about it during the core segment of the lecture? It seems to me, that there was not a mention of it until he went on to show how one can change the lives of a community. So please be more rational and do not over-react. Thank you Sir for such an inspirational and wise word!

[@catshomelife]

The fact that he does have a faith in Love and good is why he does his good work and wants to help humanity. That's his motivation. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. People commenting on here have no idea what God is so they speak out of pure ignorance. Dr Amen speaks from what he KNOWS to be true. :-)

[@cmacmenow]

Inspirational, empowering and charmingly delivered ... one of the best brain and behaviour "expanders" around.

[@deliaburdeos4862]

I will pray for you Dr. Amen 🙏 ❤

[@helenrand7580]

I am 82 mostly follow his advice but still have some short term memory problems. Then I remembered two bad falls with big bumps on the head . Stupidly I did not go to ER I am sure this contributed to the memory problem. But following his advice I still walk bike sew embroider and keep up pc skills.

"People get well in groups". -- Amen!

[@serpente300]

[@keremdemir5479]

The best talk on KZbin. Thank you Mr. Amen !

[@eddiet1971]
