1075. This Is Your Brain on ANXIETY: What No One Tells You About Mental Illness w/ Dr. Daniel Amen

May 8, 2025
49:03

Happy Throwback Thursday, Heal Squad! In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, and our recent episodes with Hannah Brown. We’re bringing back one of the many conversations we’ve had with brain health pioneer and psychiatrist, Dr. Daniel Amen.

Dr. Amen challenges everything we think we know about mental illness. He shares why we should stop calling it “mental” illness and start seeing it for what it really is: brain illness. From trauma and inflammation to diet and automatic negative thoughts (aka ANTs), Dr. Amen reveals the true root causes behind anxiety, depression, and emotional suffering—and what we can do to heal.

You’ll learn practical tools to improve your mood, increase focus, and finally feel like yourself again. Whether you're deep in your healing journey or just getting started, this episode is a powerful reminder that your brain health is your superpower.

Let’s shine a light on healing this month, and always. Enjoy, friends!!
