Frightening!

The scans in this book are frightening! You get a close and uncomfortable look at the brain of people who have Depression, Anxiety, ADD, OCD or are just filled with anger.

Dr. Amen's intent behind these scans is not to scare you but to map out the brain for readers. He shows how different parts of the brain work when healthy and what happens to those parts when they malfunction. Before and after scans graphically show that with the right treatment people can heal themselves...and that's the positive message of this book. We can take ownership of our mental health and find ways to restore health.

In the end the images actually inspire you to create meaningful changes in your life.

A great book from anyone going through a Mood Disorder or Learning Disability. I also recommend "Nexus: A Neo Novel" an inspiring story of Logan Andrews struggle with anxiety and depression.

Free Your Brain

Dr. Amen's book is a classic. He helps us to understand the way in which the body and mind are interconnected. As a long time sufferer of anxiety his book and FREE YOUR MIND by Anthony Stultz, helped me to lead a new life free from neurotic worry.

Stop hurting, start living and live with full intent

"Please sit on the couch. How was your childhood? What was your relationship like with your mother growing up? I want you to try some breathing exercises and start setting boundaries for yourself. Come back in two weeks and we'll evaluate whether the medicine is helping or making things worse."

This line of questioning and advice would only go so far to treat kidney stones. But it's acceptable to treat emotional and behavioral problems by tapping into memories and childhood phobias without even considering the physical health of one's brain?

Amen does not throw the baby out with the bathwater though. He praises the benefit of talk and behavioral therapies. But he seeks to make a clear diagnosis before jumping into treatment. He views the brain as a physical component of the body which is prone to injury, infection and malfunction much as any other bodily organ. And he points out that similar symptoms of an illness like depression in patients may actually have separate root causes and need different treatments to be successful.

Proper diagnosis means that your doctor can quit guessing about what's the best medicine, dosage and/or course of therapy for you. There are several patient stories in the book that give hope that proper diagnosis and treatment can bring about positive brain function.

If you're suffering and playing the loop in your head, "Why can't I just feel normal?" Or if you wonder why a loved one can't just snap out of it, this book offers a unique perspective.
