When a trauma causes you to become stronger, it is called post-traumatic growth (PTG). PTG happens in about 10 percent of people who experience traumas and includes a deepened spiritual life, a new appreciation of life, a vision for new possibilities and a positive change.

After 40 years of psychiatric practice with tens of thousands of patients at Amen Clinics, it has become clear that there’s one self-defeating behavior that is guaranteed to ruin your life. What is it? Blaming others

Most incorrectly believe that the solution to ADD is simply for individuals to "try harder." Research shows the harder people with ADD try, the harder it becomes. SPECT scans of individuals with ADD have shown that when they concentrate the prefrontal cortex, actually shuts off.

It's 2021, let us all normalize getting treatment for mental health issues. What if we spoke about going to therapy like we all did for going to the gym? What if we removed the stigma of getting help? Petition to make getting help for mental health issues cool. Who is with me? 🙌

When you’re 18, you think everybody is judging you, and you care deeply about what they think of you. When you reach 40, you no longer care what anybody thinks about you. At 60, you realize nobody has been thinking about you at all because most people only think about themselves.

I’m heartbroken to share the news that my father, Louis Amen, passed away yesterday at age 90. He was one of those larger-than-life characters who gave life everything he had. It’s a sad time, but I’m trying to stay focused on all the good memories I have of him. Love you, Dad.

I am not a fan of positive thinking. It kills way too many people. I advocate accurate, honest thinking. Some anxiety is absolutely critical to good health and success. Low levels of anxiety are associated with underestimating risks.

Physical exercise increases the ability of serotonin to enter the brain. Walking, running, swimming, or playing table tennis will help you feel happier and more mentally flexible. Whenever you feel stuck in a rut, get moving!
