Sophia Abraham on Battling Depression, Lack of Motivation & Anxiety
In this episode of Scan My Brain, @farrahandsophia (daughter of MTV's Teen Mom Star Farrah Abraham) visits Dr. Vernon Johnson at Amen Clinics Dallas to find the root causes for some of her emotional struggles. Many children and young adults suffer from ADHD, anxiety, depression, and other similar conditions, and most of them are given medication without trying to find out what the causes are. Dr. Vernon Johnson discusses his findings from Sophia's brain SPECT scans, which show the physical functioning throughout the brain, paving the way for a customized treatment plan that works.

This poor girl's mother is a sociopath. How could she not struggle with MI? I pray she grows up, goes grey rock, and gets away completely.
Does anyone else find it odd that her mom is always present? I mean I know she’s a kid and her mom should always be around esp. when she’s with a doctor, but I’ve never seen Sophia with her friends or anyone else *without* Farrah.

Yes I feel so much for that poor girl. I can't imagine having a sociopathic parent. Especially a sociopathic mother figure, who traditionally should be the more loving and compassionate of the parents. This girl completely missed out on a loving mother, and her father passed when she was in utero. It's a tragedy and I hope when she gets older, she gets out from under her mother's control. I know a lot of us would support her, even financially. Poor, poor, sweet girl. She's still such a kid.

You should also look into the toxic environment this child had and still has to endure and her mother’s parenting choices …..
This is so sad watching how these girls choices were passed down the generation. I truly wish Farrah and her whole family could have gotten mental health care and broke the cycle.

Sophia never standed a chamce with Farrah as a mom. We could all see it on Teen Mom.
I did notice Farrah is more cautious with Sophia, like if Sophia were to set some barriers. Which is good. I hope everything goes well!
Stop trying to be the doctor, Farrah. The appt is about Sophia not, you! Hopefully, she had lab work done to check to see if, she is deficient in certain minerals and vitamins before putting her on something. Depression can also be helped with vitamin D3 and magnesium. Especially, if you're not getting adequate sunshine. Her home environment can also, add to her depression. It's really difficult to see our young people suffering. I'm glad he added therapy. Hopefully, Farrah stays in the waiting area. Great job, Dr.
I Have Not Seen A Sicologists Or Have Not Been Diagnosed But I've Been Struggling Battling With Anxiety, Depression, Panic Attacks, Traumas, Fobias, Paranoid, Trust Issues, Lack Of Communication Etc, I've Always Been Shy Bashful Scared I Can't Stand Up Speak Up For Myself I Always Isolate Walk Away Keep Distance I Have Social Anxiety It's Hard For Me To Socialize I Need Professional Help I Can't Fix This Myself 😭💔😔
Farrah is so beyond ignorant that she excitedly says "looking gooood!" before she even knows what the scan means.
We all knew this was going to happen.
I would love to get this done.

You gotta be rich. Dr. Amen should have a fund for his rich patients to contribute to, for us peons, who need more help than those.
Sophia is so pretty now !!
I think Farrah is probably Sophia’s #1 issue and probably her biggest trigger. You can tell by the way she looks at her. I don’t like the way Farrah talks to Sophia. I hope Sophia is able to see a therapist OFF camera and AWAY from her mom so she can be 100% honest. Farrah, don’t be surprised if Sophia totally cuts you out of her life. That poor girl… On another note, I love how Sophia went from Farrah’s little spoiled princess, to her own person. I personally love the “emo” look; total opposite from what Farrah made her wear before. And you can tell Farrah isn’t impressed by it. Sophia seems extremely polite & intelligent, too. I pray she becomes stronger, continues to be unique and her own person. Not what Farrah wants to mold her as!
It baffles me the way Farrah calls herself a damn good mother. I almost can't watch this. But I just want to pull Sophia through the screen if I had that power and give her a hug. I dont have any kids, and it's too late for me, and I just get so angry when I see this mother daughter relationship. She doesn't know how to be a mother. She just uses that kid, and it is bullshit
Narcisistic parents do that to their children and spouses.
It sounds like Farah coached her, with what to say, and F blinks rapidly when certain things are said by S that wasnt rehearsed. .. sadly, yet another way to make money from exploiting her daughter to make a buck.
You can heal Sophie. I hope you know this
Gee I wonder why?
ADHD is a Neurotype aka a brain name. IT ISN’T AN ILLNESS OR DISEASE ! Her brain works differently. She’s is Neurodivergent. So if she cannot be who she is (masking) and understand how her brain works then she will be depressed. I feel extremely sorry for the mother she has and I hope one day she separates herself from the toxicity. You can see her (mother) facial expressions as Sofia is talking. The exploitation needs to stop or I see Sofia sinking into a worse state of depression.! She also doesn’t need CBT if she’s ADHD . She needs to learn about herself through other Neurodivergent creators advocates out there.
wouldn't looking into the amount of sugar & processed junk food she ingests be one of The Biggest places to start looking to reduce these symptoms?
