Natural Ways to Heal Anxiety | Dr. Daniel Amen 

He's trying to sell his book...but I do agree with him..

Ellen Vora also 🙌

I mean sometimes u really do need meds and they can save your life,like if your suicidal or having psychosis,also vitamins and supplements can get expensive,not regulated and if u have insurance usually meds are covered.That said i think it's good to find the root cause of your mental health issues,not just expect the meds to completely do everything.I do wish more Docs would try to help u with nutrition,look into vitamin deficiencies,and hormones among other things.

​@briarrose4747 Definitely. It made all the difference for me when my doctor stopped telling me I was imagining my symptoms, and referred me to a specialist. The specialist did some testing, and found I was chronically Vitamin D deficient. 👋🥴

@@briarrose4747 Doctors are not researchers. There are many scientific disciplines who are researchers working on trying to understand depression and anxiety at a biological level. We are probably years or even decades away from getting close. Many errors will be made before we get there. But for some reason, it is clear that medications have a place in relieving symptoms that range from difficulty coping to unbearable. There are links that are made, though not perfectly understood. But a great improvement over pre 1960’s - when the stigma of mental illness was so appalling, it was simply not discussed in public or even in the privacy of one’s home. I am that old to remember how it was.

Are you a psychologist or Psychiatrist? As a psychologist, you cannot prescribe medication. His methods may be fine for mild anxiety - for severe anxiety and phobic disorders, they are a joke. Medication is sometimes absolutely necessary for quality of life.

@@user-ow2pk9io4b thank you sir for informing me of what my license can and cannot do. I'm not sure how I would have survived without that information. I interned at a residential trauma treatment center where I did work with severe anxiety and phobias holistically. I'd argue that anxiety is actually the most treatable, even curable mental illness holistically. Almost anything can be treated without medication. I've even had clients with schizophrenia and bipolar functioning very well without medication for several years and counting. I just have one question for you with all your mansplaining.... What exactly are YOUR credentials while you're sitting here explaining my area of expertise to me?

@@user-ow2pk9io4bnecessary is a strong word. it’s relative to the person. if you are mild to moderately struggling with depression and anxiety or even severely, try to pull yourself out. medication isn’t a joke and life changes after starting it. it can even be life threatening depending on side effects. maybe you’ve had to rely on medication and that’s you. but your opinion is a subjective one and it might not be the same for others

⁠@@user-ow2pk9io4band there’s no denying what the original comment said. a lot of doctors are over prescribing. you gotta find the right one if you’re gonna take meds. because a lot of them nowadays, you tell them you have a problem and boom they throw meds at you.

@@user-ow2pk9io4bit is necessary far less than it is prescribed. Maybe you should’ve seen a psychologist first for your anxiety before you went to a psychiatrist

I am also suffering from iron deficiency without anemia serum iron 33 ug/dl I have difficulty with breathing, high blood pressure ND chest pain. Even after 3 iv iron sucrose infusion my symptoms are not getting well ND I am facing headaches (migraine+cluster headaches) ND insomnia I m taking Xanax almost 3 mg day. Can anyone help with me

I got food intolerance too.

​​@@Zoyaali09I would definitely go to see doctor. You probably did, but tell about all these symptoms.

​@@Zoyaali09definitely go see a doctor, you might look into Babesia, also known as babesiosis, many of your symptoms fit that picture. It is a co-infection that one can get from a tick bite. There could be other possibilities as well, but the symptoms you describe, it could be a possibility.

Ditto...❤

Amazing work!!! Congratulations that's a BIG deal

thank you...❤️

Wow that's amazing I know how hard it is after several failed reductions my last one was three years ago I did three weeks it was torture the doctor put me back on them I was that bad .thats a huge achievement you should be so proud .not many doctors prescribe them now .as there so hard to come off . the doctors just don't explain about the addiction and there is not enough information about them out there .Big hugs on your massive achievement 😘❤

@@jessicaharrison1401 most doctors don't care about their patients. It's us who suffer, not them. No one should be put into long term psychotropic drugs treatments to begin with. I'm still struggling with small doses compared to what I used to take and avoiding caffeine, tea and anything that triggers my anxiety + taking herbal infusions and meditating a lot. But the main job is to know that no doctor will help you (except rare cases like the doctor in this channel) and you'll have to rely on the information available to you. Read the instructions in your benzos, it says how to reduce it. Read it carefully and see what works for you. Trust your body, you will suffer and feel that which you were given medication for. You see when the limit is. You learn. It's a damn addiction and no one warns you about it but you can do it if you really want to. Your body eventually gets used to the new patterns and responds in a more natural way. You must be willing to do it, pay the price, be patient and constant and brave and decide that you no longer need to depend on it but go carefully so that you don't need to suffer dangerous consequences. Light hugs to you 💫 You are not alone: whenever you're struggling, remember there's someone else out there struggling too!!

AMEN! I have been saying this to friend and family for 20 years! They think I’m out of my mind!

Did you take caffeine to aid anxiety in the first place? Im asking because im kinda dependant on it for keeping calm and focused. And when i dont consume caffeine i feel horrible even after the withdrawal phase.

@@saneshmaharaj3801maybe you have adrenal fatigue? Do you feel tired but wired at night, that is usually the hallmark symptom? And caffeine didn’t always trigger anxiety for me, I used to drink coffee all day long and I’m not sure how or why but over time it became a massive anxiety trigger for me which I didn’t really notice until I removed it. Hope it helps ❤

@@PolishPocahontass I've done research on adrenal fatigue as i haven't heard of it before and it seems to match my own symptoms on normal days when im not consuming caffeine...Thank you so much for bringing that to my awareness it helps greatly🙏🏻🤍

Yes I to need to cut out the coffee😢. I have started cutting back and its going ok. For me it will be a Slow tapper like a year.

Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them

YES sure of Dr.benfungi. Did straight shrooms in few nights. Left me like a blank slate after words, no more addictions, pains, ptsd and depression. Shit saved my life, all thanks to Dr.benfungi

Yes he's Dr.benfungi.Shrooms to me is a natrual healer. I know a guy who has used mushrooms in the same way and they have really helped him. mah dudes have safe trips all.

I would like to know from those who have solved PTSD and anxiety, if they have solved it definitively and how to understand what quantity of psilocybin to take and when, for how long. And can you really heal without having an addiction? Thanks to everyone for helping me understand, I want to understand if it's something that can help me solve the problem (I have c-ptsd)

From my experience it really works excellently! It doesnt even need to be a full hit. With potent shrooms 2-3 small ones will still make a clear difference. It will be a few hour cosy rumbling moment around rest time, but afterwards its just calm and you feel amazing and gain your freedom. Psilocybin is different dudes, its the only "treatment" I would recommend to someone who genuinely wants to get better. There is no addiction, withdrawal, or negative side effects. It's just pure healing., far more effective than any anti-depressant. You can thank me later,

Absolutely agree

True but thats not easy. Therefore, we need Jesus. I had learnt to put my trust in Jesus Alone. And He never Fail me.🙌🏻👑✝️⚖🛐🛐🛐🔑🦅🦋🕊🕊🕊😊💵🥩🍗🍇🍒🥖🥐🍵😋

Yes..I’m still trying to figure out how to fix my damaged gut..and growing up on antibiotics has made it hard for me to stick with a healthy diet cause the sugar cravings from SIBO and candida overgrowth are insane 😭

I love your channel. It has helped me so much. I'm 70 now and wish I had not wasted all these years. God bless you!❤

Took so many antibiotics due to UTIs.

Totally recomend it, when I have a good diet that feeds my microbiome, anxiety drops

@@kimrose80 Dr. Gundry has excellent info. He has taken Dr. Amen to his podcast

How’d you do it I struggle from social anxiety

I feel the same way!

Yes, dr.sporessss I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

Yes he is. dr.sporessss

Microdosing helped me get out of the pit of my worst depressive episode, a three year long episode, enough to start working on my mental health.

Can Dr. sporessss send to me in UK?

Absolutely, his offerings extend to global delivery, prioritizing complete confidentiality for individuals valuing their privacy.

What you do is amazing! Wow, I’m far from the beach/ ocean. It’s Heaven on earth! We walk a lot, spouse and I. We have forests but have to drive. Thank you for sharing. ❤

That’s nice to hear, and did you loose the weight you gained?

Yep, like Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Dr. Michael Greger, Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. Brooke Goldner, Dr. Saray Stancic- check them out too!

I’ve been researching on psychedelics and it’s benefits to individuals dealing with Anxiety, Depression, ADHD and from my findings, they really work and I’ve been eager to get some for a while but its been difficult to get my hands on them.

The Trips I've been having really helped me a lot. I’m now able to meditate and I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well

I was having this constant, unbearable anxiety due to work stress. Not until I came across a very intelligent mycologist. He saved my life honestly

His name is *DR Adolf Petter*

@ohmakure4716 I feel the same way too. I put too much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels. I am also glad to be a part of this community.

Yes that's how mine started, low iron

Amen

Amen!

What benzo was it and how long did you take it for? May I know the dosage as well? I take Clonazepam 2 mg/day. Thank you, Daisy.

And now magically you sleep all night and take nothing?

@@Drea62621 that's my question too! I just took 2 mg of Clonazepam. I'd have a couple of drinks now. More than that calms me down but the next day becomes a nightmare with tachycardia and restlessness.

Daisy, you have a great opportunity to help others who are in suffering and take benzos. I can only remind and request you humbly. Wish you the best, love and regards.

I am very happy to hear that you were able to come off a benzodiazepine. I was put on Clonazepam at 40 years old - it was to be for life. My psychiatrist and my GP gave me all the info I should know about it. It was my decision and I am now 70. Without Clonazepam, I would have had zero quality of life. I did come off once - my choice. I thought maybe because I had been exposed to all my phobias for 15 years and had a normal life, that the exposure would have taken away my phobias. I was wrong. After 6 months, everything came back. So no choice. However, coming off slowly within a period of 6 months, and under the supervision of an MD, I did not really have any withdrawal symptoms.

Amen🙌🏻👑✝️🛡⚖😊 Same here. Indeed we serve an awesome, almighty... God😊

@@sereneanna4040 Amen!

Lovely comment

Benzo withdrawl is rough. Congrats on getting thru it.

@@michelleauvil86 thank you so much!!!

Antidepressants too…

The body can become dependent upon benzos within 14 days. Patients should have to sign a waiver and be thoroughly warned about what can happen with these drugs.

@joh569 thank you for your comment and I agree. I was given no warnings and was told during withdrawal that Xanax should only be taken a maximum of six weeks !!! Instead, I unknowingly took it for six years. Those doctors were flabbergasted!!! Thanks again.

Vitamin D can cause anxiety too

Well too low Vitamin D

Wow great point. Together-care absolutely 👏👏💕

Definitely, and a good combo of both!

Agree! Thinking patterns are usually a big culprit behind anxiety. I like to refer to anxiety as what is really is-fear so people can really understand what they are feeling.

Kevin, what a beautifully expressed point. All that selfing rarely leads towards a healing/flourishing path.

​@@yatesmswspot on! Fears and anxiety are very destructive. Its sort of hinder us in our daily life. And the person sort of freak off or suffer panic attacks. I overcome by seekin God persistently, intensely n finally had a breakthru😊
