"I was 28 before I learned I did not have to believe every stupid thing I thought. It's a game changer for me just to like not believe every thought, but to sort of just watch the storms that come in my head." - Dr. Daniel Amen

As a pioneering psychiatrist who introduced brain scanning into mainstream psychiatric practice, Dr. Daniel Amen faced intense criticism from his peers. Despite being called a "charlatan" and facing rejection from the established medical community, he persevered, knowing that his methods were helping countless patients. His journey from anxiety over professional criticism to finding inner peace offers valuable lessons in resilience and staying true to one's mission.

Dr. Amen shares profound insights about managing negative thoughts and handling professional criticism, drawing from his experience of helping thousands of patients through the Amen Clinics. His work has now gained recognition from prestigious institutions, including the Canadian Association of Nuclear Medicine, validating his approach to brain health through SPECT imaging. His story demonstrates how scientific progress often requires challenging established paradigms, even when faced with significant opposition from those invested in maintaining the status quo.
