by Dr. Steven Gundry | Feb 24, 2020 | 0 comments

We’ve all been touched by mental illness. Maybe it’s a friend or family member. Or maybe you’ve struggled with it yourself.

Well my guest on today’s episode of The Dr. Gundry Podcast says that the way we think about mental illness and mental health is all wrong.

He’s Dr. Daniel Amen, one of America’s leading psychiatrists and the author of a brand new book, The End of Mental Illness.

In the book, Dr. Amen exposes the most common misconceptions about mental illness and explains why there IS something you can do to help yourself or your loved ones.

On today’s episode, Dr. Amen and I will discuss the difference between mental health and brain health, why mental illness is NOT your fault, and the biggest problems with modern psychiatry.

So be sure to tune in — you won’t want to miss this episode!
