Daniel Amen, MD, believes we are on the cusp of a new revolution in psychiatry. With nearly 300,000 brain SPECT scans on patients from 155 countries, his research reveals that most psychiatric disorders are not mental health issues at all. In fact, they are brain health issues that steal people’s minds. His guiding principle is simple: get your brain right and your mind will follow. His mission is to end mental illness by creating a revolution in brain health.  Dr. Amen is a physician, double board-certified psychiatrist, award-winning researcher, and 20-time national bestselling author whose books have been translated into 50 languages. His book, Change Your Brain, Change Your Life, has sold over a million copies.  He is also the co-author of the #1 New York Times bestseller, The Daniel Plan, written with Pastor Rick Warren and Dr. Mark Hyman. He is the founder of Amen Clinics, with 11 locations nationwide. He has published over 95 scientific papers and hosted 19 national PBS specials on brain health. Named the web’s #1 most influential mental health expert, he has been called “the most popular psychiatrist in America.” 

In the United States alone, one in five adults experiences chronic pain. But traditional treatment methods are failing them. Why? In his new book, Change Your Brain, Change Your Pain, Dr. Amen reveals that that pain is not just a body problem. It’s also a brain problem. He shows how pain rewires your brain, trapping you in a self-perpetuating cycle where physical and emotional pain feed off each other. Dr. Amen calls this “the Doom Loop”—the dance between physical and emotional pain. The Doom Loop interferes with your ability to live your life, keeping you stuck in suffering, sadness, and stress. But you can shift out of the Doom Loop and into a Healing Loop, and in this vital book, he shows you how.
