Review for Change Your Brain Change Your Life Foundation, Costa Mesa, CA, USA
First I must say my heart full thank you Dr. Amen his wife, Dr Siegel and his entire team
I am. Veteran US Army 30 years of service and a RN who does Emergency medicine. I have dealt with severe childhood abuse, military sexual trauma and trauma from providing emergency care as a nurse. I have struggled with Ptsd:depression for many years trying to find the right therapy.
I went to NYC office originally to get my daughter tested but she refused and became quite difficult. I still want her to be tested. But one of the things she verbalized while she was screaming is “you are the one with the problem. You get tested. “. So I called John Wordin and I was able to get tested and it was paid for by this unique life saving program.
Dr Seigal was able to sit with me and explain all the findings. Such as Ptsd/ depression, tbi, attention deficit and my sleep disorder and headaches.
Understanding what is going on in my brain was helpful because I could understand why I felt the way I did and what to do for better brain health. Some ailments I was never diagnose with in the past such as my tbi and my attention deficit. Another benefit is that it gave me concrete data to give to my VA physicians.
Even though my mental health journey is not over I was given a path to better brain health. I am taking Dr Amen’s brain health vitamins, I began taking antidepressants.
I have changed my diet and focus on increase in exercise and doing more activities with my family and my Life Aid family.
Utilizing my tools I am a happier person, a better mother, increased my productivity both at work and my social life. I continue to listen To Dr Amen’s talks and read his books. The donations that are given for this program actually saves lives please continue to donate this is the best cause ever and Dr Amen vision to better brain health is the key to helping our Veterans and first responders have hope for a better tomorrow
