"Every medical professional from orthopedist to dentist uses imaging. Yet psychiatrists virtually never do." - Dr. Daniel Amen

With the sudden move to work-from-home earlier this year as well as the WarnerMedia merger that followed, many of us have been taking stock of our mental health, routines, coping mechanisms and change-management tools. In this 15-minute TED talk, Dr. Daniel Amen reviews the most important lessons from 83,000 brain scans and includes brief thoughts on soldiers, police, criminality, prison complexes, ADHD, OCD, and Alzheimer. Still, you are not stuck with the brain you have: Several of Dr. Amen’s books happen to be free on Audible* should you want to explore preventative and rehabilitative brain health actions.
