Beschreibung

 Psychiatry is the only medical field that does not look at the organ they are treating. Instead they throw darts in the dark by prescribing medications and performing treatments in hopes that it would work. How would you know if you didn’t look? Cardiologists, neurologists, radiologists, and other medical professionals all use imaging to look at what they’re treating. Why is psychiatry the only field that does not utilize imaging? Why is imaging in psychiatry only used for research? We will discover the scientific evidence of how imaging and psychiatry should truly go hand in hand. I’ll provide facts and mention studies from Dr. Amen’s work throughout this blog with their resources listed down below.

The Basic Facts

This eBook is a guide and serves as a first guide. It is also recommended as a person affected to get additional expert advice or to see a doctor / psychologist / etc

Here at Brain Vitality, we focus on mental health, fitness, and spirituality. I think we all know by now that mental health is brain health. This is why it is so important to highlight Dr. Daniel Amen’s work on combining imaging with psychiatry. You might have heard of him from one of his largest study on NFL football players and the damage football truly causes to the brain. He has 6 clinics across America with over 83,000 scans under his belt. He is the first psychologist to challenge the traditional way of treating psychiatric patients by incorporating MRI SPECT imaging.

Psychiatry is the only medical field that does not look at the organ they are treating. Instead they throw darts in the dark by prescribing medications and performing treatments in hopes that it would work. How would you know if you didn’t look? Cardiologists, neurologists, radiologists, and other medical professionals all use imaging to look at what they’re treating. Why is psychiatry the only field that does not utilize imaging? Why is imaging in psychiatry only used for research? We will discover the scientific evidence of how imaging and psychiatry should truly go hand in hand. I’ll provide facts and mention studies from Dr. Amen’s work throughout this book with their resources listed as well. Congratulate yourself! By reading this book, you just took the first step to building a healthier lifestyle and creating an influence in your generational health!

In America, 51 % of people will experience one psychiatric illness once in their life. 29 % of Americans will experience two psychiatric illness while 17 % of Americans will experience three psychiatric illness. The most common ones are anxiety, depression, and addiction. Here are some known facts about them:

Depression

One of the greatest killers of our time. It affects 50 million Americans and increased by 400 % since 1987.23 % of women are taking anti-depressants yet are not aware that birth control decreases serotonin levels. (Don’t worry be happy chemical) This explains the drop in libido for some women after taking birth control.Depression doubles the risk of Alzheimer’s in women and quadruples the risk in men.

Obesity

Related to 30 medical illnesses.Two-thirds of Americans are overweight and one-third are obese.Based on a study by University of Pittsburg, obesity is inversely proportional to the size and function of your brain. Obesity correlates to a smaller brain and poorer function.

          Some may think Alzheimer’s, obesity, and depression are unrelated diseases. But they’re actually just different expressions of the same unhealthy lifestyle. They all have one cure! It is by changing your diet and habits! A healthy lifestyle has the potential to change generations. If you are healthy, your future generations will adopt the same lifestyle and be healthy too. Even if you’ve experienced brain damage or have already developed a brain disease, Alzheimer’s for example, you are not stuck with the brain that you have! You can potentially reverse the damage!

Basic Facts II

Dr. Daniel Amen suffered from meningitis as a young soldier and played football in high school. When he scanned his brain at the age of 37, it looked horrible. By implementing a healthier lifestyle, his MRI SPECT scan at the age of 57 looked fuller, fatter, and healthier. AGAIN, you are not stuck with the brain that you have. You can reverse Alzheimer’s and Dr. Amen has proved it time and time again after collecting 83,000 brain scans and treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease.

Fun Fact:

As you age, your brain becomes less and less active. But here is the catch! Brain aging is actually optional! Neurons do not age, but your blood vessels do. AGAIN, memory loss at any age is NOT normal!!!
