Every day you are making your brain better or you are making it worse.

Stay with us to learn how you can change your brain for the better every day.

Raising mentally strong kids requires seven core conversations which apply to all kids, including young adults, and those

struggling with ADHD, anxiety, depression, or even autism. Let's start with core conversation,

number one. Brain health is foundational to mental strength. When your brain works

right, you work right. This applies to kids and adults of all ages. At Aeman clinics, we've been

using a brain imaging study called SPACT that looks at blood flow and activity for the last 33 years

to assess and treat our patients, including kids and teenagers. We've looked at over 250,000 scans

on patients from 155 countries. The scans taught us that most psychiatric illnesses

are not mental health issues at all,

but rather they are brain health issues

that steal people's minds.

And this one idea changes everything.

Get your brain healthy and your mind will follow. Here is a healthy spec scan compared to scans of young people affected by head trauma,

infections, marijuana, and alcohol. The brain is an organ, just like your heart is an

organ. If you want your children to be mentally strong, if you want them to be

responsible, confident, happy, kind, and resilient, if you want them to make good decisions and be focused and motivated

and have great relationships, it starts by talking to them about having a healthy brain.

When kids struggle, too often we blame parents, or parents blame themselves.
