Summary:

Mental illness is at an all-time high.

Conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, addictions, PTSD, and ADHD are skyrocketing. Every 14 minutes somebody commits suicide in the United States. Every eight minutes someone dies of a drug overdose.

And, according to a recent study, over half of the U.S. population will struggle with a mental health issue at some point in their lives.

Dr. Amen shares in this encore episode from February 2020, why standard treatment isn't working and what you can do to successfully transform your mind so it's functioning at an optimal level.
