The most important lesson from 83,000 brain scans | Daniel Amen | TEDxOrangeCoast

I can't believe this took place 10 years ago and in plain 2023 I've heard absolutely nothing about such methods for psychiatric treatment. This is extremely important and relevant, not to mention groundbreaking.

"Behavior is the expression of the problem, not the problem". Daniel Amen.

Amen to that.

This outstanding presentation is over ten years old, has more than 20 million views but yet it feels like no change has happened whatsoever

This is so important. Why on earth was I subjected to a warning posted by you tube before I could watch it? Why? !?!??

Having more doctors like him would diminish so much suffering in this world.

“You are not stuck with the brain you have, you can make it better.” That hit me so hard

"If you are feeling unintelligent, don't worry, you have the ability to become smart," because this study proves it.

I wish everyone had access to such medical facilities and doctors who'd genuinely help people improve

Who else is now curious to have a brain scan to see how their brain health and activity holds up?

Behaviour is not the problem, behaviour is an expression of the problem. Love this one

I would have liked for him to cover his brain recovery program in more detail. How exactly is he using scans to inform treatment would be nice to see.

1. i’m in love with this man’s mind
2. we absolutely NEED this approach in every country, for every case. i’m taking antidepressants, mood stabilizers, anti anxiety pills — so a handful of pills every day; and i also had a head trauma, and I WISH i could scan my brain activity like that and know for sure what the problem really is and what i really need to do

“Behavior is an expression of the problem, not the problem.” WOAH

You want to drop the crime rate drastically? Do everything possible to stop child abuse.

Σεβασμός σε αυτόν τον άνθρωπο!!!!Πόση αλήθεια μέσα μια τόσο σύντομη χρονικά ομιλία!!!!Έθιξε πολλά ζητήματα και ουσιαστικά πρόσφερε λύσεις ανατρίχιασα με τις ιστορίες ειδικά με την τελευταία ❤

For anyone wondering the cost is $5600 without insurance. Most insurances do not cover mental health. I just got my second scan this morning I’ll update in a few weeks. I’m bipolar, and I have had at least six traumatic brain injuries through my life. I really struggled to want to stay alive for my family. So here’s my last hope. Thank you Dr. Daniel Amen

"treatment needs to be tailored to individual brains, not clusters of symptoms"

"behavior is an expression of the problem , not the problem itself "


wow, that made me think

when you have the privilege of changing someone's brain
you are not only change their life, but you have the opportunity to change generations to come.
Best quot ever ❤❤❤
