Summary

In this episode of the Align Podcast, Dr. Amen and I discuss the stigma towards mental illness and how it makes those who are suffering feel ashamed, which can worsen their symptoms and conditions. While most doctors might look at mental illness as a simple diagnosis, Dr. Amen was thought to think of people going through these health conditions not as someone with a diagnosis, but as a whole by considering the four circles of life; biological, psychological, social, and spiritual. Plus, we also talk about how to deal with negative thoughts and a negative mindset. The first thing is to be able to detach ourselves from our thoughts, so we can deeply question them. Then, it is important to live with the end, meaning death, in mind. This way, we are much more likely to be present and take advantage of the now. Dr.Daniel Amen is one of America’s leading psychiatrists and brain health experts. Dr. Amen has helped millions of people change their brains and lives through his health clinics, best-selling books, products and public television programs.He has appeared on numerous television shows including Dr. Phil, Larry King, Dr. Oz, The Doctors, and The View.

0:16.7	grateful to get to share this discussion with you today. I'm actually quite proud of this conversation.
0:21.7	I think we got to go into a whole variety of wormholes and
0:26.8	tangents that I think are quite relevant in today's world which is our
0:30.6	mental health care. I think perhaps it is more relevant today than ever in history.
0:39.0	It's a big statement, but I think considering the present state of the world, there's a pretty reasonable chance that that is a more relevant conversation now than ever before.
