How to End Mental Illness | Dr. Daniel Amen

There’s a certain stigma around mental illness, one that can, unfortunately, keep people from feeling empowered that they can change their brain health and get the care they truly need. But think about it-would we ever shame someone with cancer, autoimmunity, or dementia for needing help? Of course not. Unfortunately, the past methods of treating mental health disorders didn’t actually look at what was happening inside the brain. It was a guessing game based on symptoms without knowing the real cause, location, or severity of the imbalance. The good news is that now, with technology like brain scans, we can get a clear picture of what is happening in the brain to get real solutions.
My guest on this week’s episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy, Dr. Daniel Amen, has been paving the way for a new type of psychiatry, looking at the actual brain and using an integrative approach to prevent disease and successfully treat it. The Washington Post called Dr. Daniel Amen the most popular psychiatrist in America and Discover Magazine listed his brain imaging research as the top neuroscience story for 2015. He is a double board-certified psychiatrist and ten-time New York Times bestselling author, with such blockbuster books as Change Your Brain, Change Your Life, Healing ADD, Memory Rescue, Change Your Brain, Change Your Grades, and The Daniel Plan, co-authored by Pastor Rick Warren and myself. In March 2020, his book The End of Mental Illness will be published (and I highly recommend it).
This episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy is brought to you by ButcherBox. Now, through November 17, 2019, ButcherBox is offering its new customers a free, completely traceable from farm to fork, animal welfare certified turkey plus $20 off your first box.

    I was diagnosed at 20 as bipolar and put on meds. By 40 I was on disability. then I stopped gluten and dairy and processed foods for my husband who got cancer and in one month I not only got rid of my bipolar symptoms I also cured my autoimmune system. I lost 50 years of health (I am now 70)

    I suspect there are many people with mental illness that have trouble being understood who are unable to fit into a "pleasant societal slot." So away we must go. It's really tragic. I'm sorry for what you and your brother are going thru. Addiction, anger, violence are often signs of mood disorders and we need light, calm, good human connections, healthy foods and good sleep to even have a chance at repairing our brains. There but for the grace of God go any of us! It's eeny, meeny, miney, mo! People with mental illness need kindness and holistic help, not incarceration, and not always psychotherapeutic drugs. We need to be understood and loved and a chance to move back into wellness. And it's a long road, but with some understanding and willingness it can be done. It's just most unfortunate that self-discipline is in short supply when one is mentally ill. I think they should check all incoming prisoners' neurotransmitter levels in their brains via their saliva. Without proper levels it's hard to feel healthy motivation, get quality sleep, hold down responsibilities, feel pleasure and love appropriately. And many with PTSD are just in fear a lot, and have many triggers that keep them in survival mode to fight or run. I really wish police got training in handling encounters with suspected PTSD, or simply approach all suspects/criminals as if they have PTSD. Honestly, I heavily suspect many cops have PTSD and are walking around with loaded guns. Maybe we should also test their neurotransmitters after certain traumatic events on the job, even months afterwds, because they have their adrenaline elevated daily and it's got to take a toll on them, too! And maybe then there will be yet more sensitivity around mental illness in this society. May God bless you and all of us.

    As a former psychiatric R.N., I always wondered why we never scanned our patients brain.To me it just made common sense. I didn’t think the food we fed them was particularly healthy either. But, insurance companies don’t want to pay for scans. My area of specialty was working with children and adolescents. Gosh, it was both rewarding and heartbreaking. I’m glad we as a society are working towards diminishing the stigma. Fingers crossed.

I am a hospice volunteer mainly for Alzheimer's patients and I get to see the end result, the last 6 months of their life. When I started this work and saw them curled up in their bed in the fetal position I said a prayer to God, asking him what can I do for them and I heard "pray". I verbally say a prayer over each one and I know that at a spiritual level they know that I prayed for them because on rare occasions they have said "thank you" and I have even seen a very slight smile. They do feel the love I have for them. I am so grateful that I am able to do this type of volunteer work, God has truly blessed me. I am grateful. Debbie

I know people who had weight loss surgery and they died young by 50 from strokes or pancreas problems because of the surgery. And extreme diets also dangerous can ruin your kidneys and liver and end your life young.

For anyone that communion would be the greatest gift, but most especially for anyone who is overwhelmed by any kind of suffering, like trauma, addiction, even addiction to negative thinking. That communion is the same reason that 12 step programs are so effective for any kind of addiction, and the depth of that communion determines the level of success in those programs. I'm mentioning addiction here because that is what often follows childhood traumas.

To be honest, ever since I first heard that in one video from him, I felt relieved and confident that I could treat my depression just by caring my brain. 2)You should take care of your brain in advance. And your body as well. 3)Your brain’s inactive or holes are mostly because of alcohol or drugs, your working environment sometimes. 4)Make sure your diet is balanced and take enough sleep. Personally, changing topic MENTAL HEALTH to BRAIN HEALTH gives me hopes to cure or treat this. All I need to do is caring my brain, right.😊 But when I thought as mental health, I was helpless and hopeless to get out of depression.😢

    Psychiatric drugs like seroquel, Effexor, and all the benzodiazepines also cause severe brain damage if taken for a long period of time. I found that most GP Doctors have no idea how toxic they are for the brain long term. They have had no training at all in medical school about how to help patients withdrawal from these very dangerous brain disabling medications. Could you please tell me why there is no medical training for this. Considering these drugs can cause seizures and other horrific side effects that make you want to commit suicide due to the horrendous side effects.All these shocking side effects are listed way at bottom of the pamphlet??? And the minor side effects at the top 🤔why is that ??? This Psychiatrist is fantastic. The only other psychiatrist who I listen to is Dr Peter Breggin. This has been so refreshing . Fantastic 👏👏👍👍👍

    Always go to psychiatrist for mental health , never a GP they are not specialist in this area. GPs must not prescribe these drugs only Psychiatrist as they study pharmacology of it and sometimes neurologist can but not all neurologist some very specialist one. All side effects are dose dependent and GPs dont know this plus they have not been trained in this like Psychiatrist have been they study brain behaviour for 6 years and practice it for 10 years. So its their specialisation, not GPs. GP are jack of all trade master of none. Dont expect much. Go to a specialist

    I just wanted to say how beautiful it was to see a doctor of psychiatry talking about real life scenarios. Actually giving his own family as an example. Being able to relate to a person one-on-one is the most genuine connection that two human beings can share. It brings hope in a world of chaos. I myself am a 46 year-old woman who was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder when I was 28. I have had a lot of therapy since then. I have spent years doing any sort of research I can. I've always been open to anything that will help. I figured the only way I would be able to do that is by educating myself. I have just started to get into the physical health of the body and nutrition. I know everything that I need to be doing but it is difficult to follow through with my disorder. I recently moved a year ago and have had difficulty finding someone who can treat me physically and emotionally. The basics are just not enough. I'm basically trying to take care of myself by using self-help. I know that I need to fix my body and I just want a chance to do it. I just want to have a chance to get my life back before I get any older. There is a big part of me that feels empathic and extremely intuitive. Almost to the point of feeling psychic at times. This is something that I would be interested in exploring as far as the brain is concerned. Once again thank you so much for being so down to earth. ♥️

    Faith Walker Have you ever been evaluated for Asperger's? Many people who have Asperger's get diagnosed with borderline and/or Bipolar and it could be a misdiagnosis. Or you could have both. Here is the link for the test if you would like to take it www.rdos.net/eng/Aspie-quiz.php. Also I would like to share another KZread channel with you called Mindful Divergence. She was diagnosed with Asperger's as well but did not know it her whole life. I didn't either and thought that there was no way! lol. It was not until I watched a few of her videos and took the Asperger's test that I realized OMG! Scored extremely high! As for diet The keto diet works very well for borderline and Bipolar Type symptoms in my opinion. Just stay away from too many high histamine foods should you try it. I really hope you will look into these things for yourself. I am a 47 almost 48 year old female and I love to try to help people. I am like you and have Psychic gifts and intuition. I don't know if you have taken the Meyers / Briggs Personality assessment before either. A lot of People take that and end up an INFJ or INFP have the empathic features and are Intuitives. Look into this. You will feel better about yourself. Don't Let a Borderline diagnosis define you. Bless your heart. If you need somebody to talk to I would be so happy to talk to you. Just let me know.

She most likely would be dead today. I remember the cancer doc asking her if cancer ran in her family. This has to be one of the biggest scam questions. When someone answers yes, they then make the false assumption “well, I guess it’s in my cards” then throw their hands in the air and continue to listen to the doctor. Such an evil scam.

It's amazing that the vast majority of Americans are so ignorant. If brain scans can be used on a large scale to just help verify a diagnosis or prove it incorrect, what a breakthrough that would be for the profession but more so, for public acceptance. But there is already a mountain of statistical evidence in the field of psychiatry without using brain scans. Scans are not needed in the field of psychiatry. But, would be nice to have them, especially for ignorant people.

We have not all been given the same brain or opportunity to have a healthy brain. in my opinion you appear to be naive in your response. I agree ‘Churchianity’ in particularl has not been helpful. Since the beginning of time however, spirituality has held a prominent part of life and living. A sought after reality to be a balanced and more informed human. An accomplished human thinker. A respectful one. In my experience most people of ‘Faith’ display a more gentle kind understanding accepting supportive manner with respectful views for others choices and reality. We need to be watchful for egocentricities. I choose to have faith in creation for example, as our advanced logical ‘minds’ as you say, cannot surely accept life and beauty and natures order comes from a ‘muddy puddle’ somewhere, In my view that takes more Faith. Keep searching for the best wisdom, even some of ancient wisdoms. I agree there is not ‘one’ fits all. The diversity of our world and it’s people is not by chance. I am a thankful person . I see life is to be revered, respected, with all its facets and core beliefs. Keep reading, searching - it’s a mystery indeed. As mentioned Ancient wisdom has a lot to offer. I recommend it, to establish a more informed and respectful view of human life. Maybe some more in-depth ‘thinking’ could help us all find more respect and more of the fullness of life as a human.

So it is hereditary? I never liked medication, never trusted them. I once asked the doctor if my brain has too much or too litlle serotonin. She said I had too little, without a single brain scan. So I have always been on my own OCD wise. Now I remember about a car accident that we had. It probably jolted my brain? When I was a little girl, somebody on a swing literally hit me on the front part of of head as the metal swing came swinging at me. Maybe, just maybe, that explains my condition? To me, every single Brain Health Issue has its own unique root causes and story. You cannot simply put somebody in a category and start treating them the same way as everybody else. It's going to be a major disaster! The worst thing is to ha ve people constantly telling me to " get over it, control your mind, don't let it control you, it's mind over matter, etc" . I would just roll my eyes in my mind while giving them a straight face. Have been beating myself up for making my parents suffer so much because of my tyrannical OCD behaviour. Now I realise it just probably wasn't my fault at all for being this way. Probably that's why God pointed out this video to me to watch. God bless you and your loved ones abundantly! Love from Malaysia 🇲🇾 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

    I have been diagnozed with depression/generalized anxiety disorder and bipolar. I have been on Lexapro for so many years. I have always said I wanted to get off my meds. I absolutely love this podcast because everything the drs are saying is exactly how I feel. A dr should get to the ROOT cause of the issue instead of just throwing someone on meds. There has to be a reason why we have these issues. Drs need to look at the person as a whole instead of just the diagnozist. But insurance does not cover all the scans. I have even considered going to an all natural dr just so I can get off my meds.

    I got two opinions and was diagnosed with bipolar 2. I never felt comfortable with the diagnosis because I feel what I go through is due to CPTSD but they ask about 5 questions and boom! You're bipolar. Doctor put me on an antidepressant that made my knees hurt so bad I wanted to cry. I felt numb and lethargic. I got curious and Googled the ingredients and was coloring, clear coat and propylene glycol! That's the base in engine coolant or whatever...can't think of the name right. I quit taking them and felt better. I get depressed because of isolation, things of this world but I'm made to be believe something is wrong with me.

    I have been thinking about mental illnesses, and what they might be. I think there are different phases of stress, 1. stress, 2. PTSD, 3. depression (untreated stress), 4. manic depressive disorder, 5. schizophrenia, 6. borderline, ( I don't know what I think about the narcissistic disorders). If stress is left untreated it can develop into depression, we all know that. when people with psychosis hear voices or see things things that are not there, then it might be because the stress has become so bad, that sleep is not enough to process impressions during the day, so the dream state of mind becomes a part of the everyday life, what has not been processed. Being overstimulated with impressions, because a lot of stress maybe caused by trauma has build up inside a persons mind. Could that be a possible explanation.

I finally went to a licensed ND. Holy heck! A world of difference. Naturopathic doctors ARE the Premier functional medicine doctors and are trained for over 4yrs in treating the whole person, not the disease. I was blown away what I have learned and am still learning. MDs didn't want to go back to school to learn the paradigm of naturopathic medicine. Jeffery Bland was their professor, and he started the IFM certification for MDs. Save yourself lots of time and money, and go to an ND. I have unlimited energy now, no pain, sleep like a baby, my ideal weight>>> and a great libido! :))

    Wellness of the "MIND" - our thoughts and behaviours. Do we know how the brain works? Scientists/drugests don't know how antidepressants actually work (it says so in the pack info) From my experience they numb you so you care less but the depression is still there but your ability to respond to your own pain is inhibited. It limits my crying. But the deep despair remains. Repression of anger leads to depression. Antidepressants numb the pain. Anger is motivating and helps you to do something about your problems. The foggy numb cloud of ssri's or snri's are helpful for short term stressful events like divorce or grief perhaps, but not a lifetime fix imo

Would probably be considered a Healthy Keto diet. Life is way better now. No more brain fog or depression. Eliminating certain foods is the key. Find the foods that are inflaming your brain and you will have a life again. Since I was Insulin Resistant I started with Keto. I would say I am at least 90 percent better. Worth a try. Believe me, I went from the depths of despair to almost normal. I am on no drugs of any kind now! Best of luck to you!
