I don't get why negative thoughts ruin us. LIKE C'MON BRAIN WE'RE ON THE SAME TEAM
-
Dolphins flexin' on us...
-
"When people stop learning, their brain starts dying" is the kind of motivation I needed for studying <3
-
We should really have mental health classes in schools, it’s so important
-
“Mental hygiene is just as important as washing your hands.”
-
Ouu... I guess this is what it feels like to have online session with your psychiatrist...
-
"lack of sleep, not eating, negative thoughts, low blood sugar" that's me
-
I started with low expectations here but this was actually informational. Most psychiatrists I've seen have been trash & thrown pills at me, this guy actually has some good suggestions.
-
It's funny how you can put me in a room that has nothing but a book to study and I'd still find a way to procrastinate and get heavily distracted
-
I was wondering why there is an anteater on the bookshelf and then he mentioned ANTs (automatic negative thoughts) ... my curiosity is sated
-
"We have to destroy the ANTs" >> Is that why he has an ant-eater on his shelf?
-
This reminds me of my grade 5 class when a speaker came in every week to teach the kids about mental health. We learned about breathing, different coping mechanisms, and even made our own "relaxation toys" which were water bottles with glitter in them. They were used to help us when we were feeling anxious, so whenever that happened we'd focus on the glitter and try to count the glitters in it. It helped!

He seems like he's the the ONLY professor you actually like in college cause he he really loves what he's doing and knows what he's talking about 🥺
-
“Genes load the gun, our behavior pulls the trigger” oof chills. I love that so much
-
Dr. Amen: "Getting your sleep right is so important". Me: *slowly turns head to look at the clock*
-
the segment about brain fog genuinely made me tear up because this is something i have been struggilng through for years and i always felt inadequate. hopefully after taking notes and trying to change my habits i can finally have some peace and clarity
-
I love how animated he talks.
-
Me: eats oreos while watching video Dr. Amen: "sugar increases inflammation and contributes to immune problems" Me: continues eating oreos, but more slowly and nervously
-
Really well explained video! But I would like to emphasize that end of mental illness is not just related to brain health, there's also a need to understand if there are any social, emotional personal issues and address them as well. The end of mental illness would be addressing and acknowledging these social-cultural issues, gender issues, and personal issues along with brain health.

he is actually providing very useful tips yet simple explanations and terms to people like us so we can understand and apply
