That's not really what they were asking in the second question… the real question was, "How do I stop overanalyzing things?" Luckily we can all search that question and find lots of real answers 🙂
Okay you had me until you kept going on about gluten and dairy
This doc lost me at name dropping 😂
I've watched this and I discovered I do so many things in the wrong way that my anxiety went through the roof. Thank you.
Is it weird that I find Heavy Metal music to be extremely soothing?
shower-idea-havers: get shower crayons. I know they're 'for kids' but just being able to write stuff down without getting out of the shower is SO helpful
wish I could visit this doctor.
Wow! So interesting. I wish I had a doctor like this!
Psychiatrists are cruel. They force you to take their medications. Beware!
Thank you for this video.
This is what YouTube was designed for. Thank you for sharing your decades of experience with us. Very helpful.
We wish your advice worked for anyone. OMG!
I thought I was losing my mind too! Anxiety, tachycardia, fatigue, trouble focusing, unable to exercise…. I had anemia and was slowly bleeding to death. Keep an eye on that if you have GI problems.
I’ve always thought of him as more of a neuro psychiatrist than a straight up psychiatrist. His answers are broad and pretty basic. My biggest issue for the last 15 years I’ve had with Amen is is scans are extremely expensive and can only be obtained by the ultra wealthy not to mention he gears his practice towards celebrities (Miley Cirus, Bieber, etc). He really isn’t “for the regular folks”. He always pushes his lac luster books that say the same thing that hasn’t been said before. He ain’t it.
Thank you so much, Daniel ❤
Prayer? You lost me there. I'm looking for science.
Nice, you're wearing black the color of evil and authority just like Law Enforcement. Nice choice because you people are pretty evil with what you do to me.
When I saw that amnesia question I IMMEDIATELY knew it's ADHD because GIRL SAME.
Killing the ANT'S is just fantastic. Raising my grandson who is ADD, this works great for his first grade brain. " hang on Grandma let me wake up my anteater" THANK YOU ! ❤
14:16 <med-state & state interaction liability limitation starts at anti-fungal (non-dictatorial)
not sure what he was getting at with the best defense being something other than a vaccine when he, as an educated man, knew there was a huge problem with people not getting the vaccine. He could've just not said anything.
This guy shouldnt be called a psychiatrist. Yogi is a more suitable word to describe this excuse for a dr
Does this guy have a book?
Keto? No. Hard no. Short of suicide, a ketogenic diet is the quickest way to undo all the positive steps the good doctor has been delineating. He's a nice man and mostly very smart, but unless you're a 6 year old plagued by seizures, it's a non-starter. Whole food plant based. That's the ticket.
Wonderful collection of questions and amazing explanation ❤
the anteater technique prowling through the nether regions of your brain is such a good technique I use it often
“What most people don’t know is the thoughts in your head often lie to you. They terrorize you.” -Dr. Daniel Amen
“Mental hygiene is as important as washing our hands. We have to disinfect our thoughts and kill the ANTs (automatic negative thoughts) that steal our happiness.” -Dr. Daniel Amen
11-second breathing technique!!
Breathe in for 3 seconds
Hold for 1 second
Breathe out for 6 seconds
Hold for 1 second
Repeat 10 times
“You want to become masterful at diaphragmatic breathing. There’s actually a very specific pattern that will calm down your amygdala and activate your frontal lobe so you make better decisions.” -Dr. Daniel Amen
genetic was the gun, environment pulls the trigger. unfortunately for me i realized this too late. i went under severe stress and it triggered an auto immune response. i got diagnosed with unspecified inflammatory arthritis at 18😞
Could of picked another psychiatrist
He helps people create an "anteater" in their brain that kills the "ants" tells me this guy knows magic, like real magic.
This was so helpful and information! Practical tips, focus on natural methods, and making it so easy ❤
Okay so I got adhd🥲
Very nice professor ❤
Thank you professor ❤
How do you feel about psychiatry smearing the victims of neuroweapons, and covering up the crimes of DARPA on the population with directed energy weapons etc? As a delusion, schizophrenia etc? James Giordano, Robert Duncan and many others claim it is real, and claim to have helped build the various technologies.
What's helped me is looking inward & working to understand "why," I respond the way I do to certain situations.
I'm not done.
Um that’s Pablo Picasso
Psychiatry is an evil industry, masking problems with dangerous drugs, creating souless, drug-addicted individuals… all to the benefit of the pharmaceutical industry
i am very thankful you mention the inflammation part. My immune system is not working correctly, i always have inflammation in my body. When i get infections my body does stupid things with my brain ! I have PANS since birth, and actually no psychological illness at all. It took 25 years to find that.
I'm a psychiatrist as well. This man speaks very confidently about things that are very uncertain, and seems to fail to understand the thrust of some of the questions being asked. Seems like a nice fellow though.
I am making everyone in my family watch this.
For the shower I recommend either a white board or leaving a phone recording while ur showing so u can shout ideas. Much better than a pen and paper. Or you can take ur phone into the shower with u and write in the notes app, but ud have to dry ur hands for that
can you read my mind me i can't read the mind of other's and see the future like other's can
“Negative thoughts…all I have are negative thoughts”
That's just yoga breathing with defferent name.
fraudster psychiatrist charlatan
I wished you would help me! Me and wife was stopped by the police for no reason! I have both videos on my YouTube channel; I scared of these officers and afraid to leave the house are do anything normal in life right my head is spinning so fast help!
Hey, hey, hey. I know you're a Dr but marijuana? My marijuana? A toxin? I know but shhhhhhh
