About

Better brain. Better life. Amen Clinics is a world leader in brain health and mental wellness, and our channel provides information and support to anyone who wants a better brain and a better life. Our mission is to end mental illness by creating a revolution in brain health. At our outpatient healthcare clinics located nationwide, we specialize in an innovative brain-body approach to mental health and peak performance. Our brain-imaging work over the past 30-plus years clearly shows that we are not dealing with mental health issues, rather we are dealing with brain health issues that steal your mind. The most important lesson we have learned from over 250,000 brain scans is that you are NOT stuck with the brain you have. You can change your brain and change your life. And these videos can help you do it.

Video Description

Do you (or your child) have ADD (attention deficit disorder) or ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder)? Do you think prescription stimulants such as Ritalin or Adderall are the only treatment options available? They’re not. Although stimulants may be helpful for some people with ADD, they aren’t effective for everyone and they can make some people worse. It all depends on which type of condition you have. Brain imaging studies show there are 7 types of ADD, and knowing your type is critical for finding the right solutions. In general, medication should never be the first or only thing you do for any mental health condition. There are many alternatives to medication that can improve ADD symptoms, such as lack of focus, impulsiveness, being easily distracted, having difficulty staying organized, and a tendency to put things off until the last minute.
