Synopsis

There is new hope for those dealing with anxiety, despression, bipolar disorders, PTSD, ADHD, and addictions.

An evidence-based revolution in the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions is improving outcomes for the
first time in decades, and Daniel Amen, MD, neuroscientist and double board–certified psychiatrist, is helping to lead
the charge.

In The End of Mental Illness, Dr. Amen explains why you no longer have to rely solely on standard treatments
offered by experts trained according to an old paradigm. While medication and talk therapy are sometimes helpful and
appropriate, there is much you can do to improve your own brain health. And more and more practitioners are using
evidence-based neuroscience to help their patients.

The End of Mental Illness will:
• give you hope that we are on the cusp of a whole new paradigm of treating issues like depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and even schizophrenia
• explain why standard treatment may not have helped you or a loved one be healed, or truly healed for the long-term
• teach you how to contribute to your own brain healing and prevent or reverse the problems that are stealing your mind
• show you how to keep your brain healthy or rescue it if it’s headed toward a dark place

Get your brain right and your mind will follow

Goodreads review by Sebastian on February 22, 2020

As a psychologist, I found this to be a refreshing take on improving differential diagnosis and avoiding using only symptom clusters. The harping on SPECT becomes a bit repetitive, but I understand his purpose is to inform others to take this procedure into account with mental illness treatment. Ove......more

Goodreads review by Willie on December 18, 2020

If I actually hear Dr. Amen refer to his clinic ONE more time in this book I think I may lose it. As others have said here, I appreciate what he is trying to do for the field of psychiatry, which has much redundancy in diagnosing mental illness and often refers to the DSM-5 for current diagnoses, a......more

Goodreads review by Steve on March 25, 2020

I like the direction Dr Amen is going in: looking for physically measurable symptoms to explain what we call mental illness. He suggests that Brain Disease is more logical way to discribe much of what we have been calling Mental illness. But having already accepted that idea, there is just not much m......more
