Summary
In today's mini-episode, Dr. Daniel Amen explains his Amen Clinics Method of integrative psychiatric care and how it offers hope. Using innovative and personal care, our outcomes consistently demonstrate improvement for patients -- including many who have tried and failed prior treatment. The Amen Clinics Method is a multi-modal approach to treatment that uncovers the root cause of your mental health issues or challenges that are not discovered by traditional psychiatry. We believe it is critical to look at your brain within the context of your life, which includes biological, psychological, social, and spiritual influences.

| 0:49.5 | it is critical to know why it is so important. The mental health field is in a crisis. Dr. Thomas |
