The End of Mental Illness

How Neuroscience Is Transforming Psychiatry and Helping Prevent or Reverse Mood and Anxiety Disorders, ADHD, Addictions, PTSD, Psychosis, Personality Disorders, and More

By: Daniel G. Amen

Narrated by: Richard Harries

Length: 13 hrs and 37 mins

Publisher's summary

New hope for those suffering from conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, addictions, PTSD, ADHD, and more.

Though incidence of these conditions is skyrocketing, for the past four decades standard treatment hasn’t much changed, and success rates in treating them have barely improved, either. Meanwhile, the stigma of the “mental illness” label - damaging and devastating on its own - can often prevent sufferers from getting the help they need.

Brain specialist and best-selling author Dr. Daniel Amen is on the forefront of a new movement within medicine and related disciplines that aims to change all that. In The End of Mental Illness, Dr. Amen draws on the latest findings of neuroscience to challenge an outdated psychiatric paradigm and help listeners take control and improve the health of their own brain, minimizing or reversing conditions that may be preventing them from living a full and emotionally healthy life.

The End of Mental Illness will help you discover:

• Why labeling someone as having a “mental illness” is not only inaccurate but harmful
• Why standard treatment may not have helped you or a loved one - and why diagnosing and treating you based on your symptoms alone so often misses the true cause of those symptoms and results in poor outcomes
• At least 100 simple things you can do yourself to heal your brain and prevent or reverse the problems that are making you feel sad, mad, or bad
• How to identify your “brain type” and what you can do to optimize your particular type
• Where to find the kind of health provider who understands and uses the new paradigm of brain health

Useful info, hard copy preferred

A very insight read. Definitely interesting to see just how much our food intake plays a role in our mental health. Inspired me to make some changes in my own food choices. There was a lot of information and lists that would have been much more beneficial in a hard copy as opposed to audiobook. Recommend this book in a hard copy format over audio format.

So much life changing information

This should definitely be taught in schools. I recommend it to friends, family, and my work place.

Ending Mental health

This book gives great hope and information on how to heal mental health in a way that is very logical.

Thank you, Dr. Amen

You are God sent.
we are thankful for all your work and for never ending pursue of brain wellness.

I learned so much!

I am normally a skeptic about self-help books but this one really made sense to me. What I like is you don’t have to go to an Amen clinic to benefit from this information he gives you everything you need to talk to your own health care professional. You can change your diet and get the right supplements based on what he recommends. That said I am definitely going to an Amen clinic for a full evaluation. I believe it is an investment that will pay for itself and release my potential.

Inspiring

This book provides hope and actions to take to safe guard brain health. A must read for everyone.
