Actress and mom Odette Annable sits down with Dr. Daniel Amen for a raw look inside her brain scan—and what it reveals about her struggles with ADHD, perfectionism, criticism, and the pressure to be “the strong one.” Odette shares what it’s like to feel hyper-productive yet scattered, zigzagging through her day only to end up frustrated—like there’s a cap on her potential she can’t break through. From growing up in pageants to navigating marriage and parenting a child with ADHD, Odette shares how her brain wiring fuels reactivity, stress, and self-doubt—and what she’s learning to do differently to create a healthier brain and a stronger family.

Dr. Gabor Maté: This Is What a Doctor Wants You To Know About Past Emotional Trauma

Dr. Gabor Maté: This Is What a Doctor Wants You To Know About Past Emotional Trauma

Is what we call “normal” actually healthy—or just common? In this powerful episode, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen sit down with world-renowned physician and bestselling author Dr. Gabor Maté to explore how trauma, stress, and childhood experiences shape our health, addictions, and even our immune system. Dr. Maté explains why depression and anxiety aren’t simply “diseases,” how suppressed emotions harm the body, and why addictions are not about the drug or behavior—but about unhealed pain. You’ll hear deep insights on boundaries, the hidden costs of saying “yes,” why so many of us struggle in silence, and how true healing begins with connection. This conversation will challenge everything you think you know about mental health—and give you hope for change.

How to Break a Panic Attack in 2 Minutes

How to Break a Panic Attack in 2 Minutes

Dr. Daniel Amen and actress/model Nikki Leigh demonstrate a technique to break a panic attack in 2 minutes. Panic disorder is a type of anxiety disorder in which a person experiences recurrent panic attacks. A panic attack involves sudden feelings of intense fear and worry combined with overwhelming physical symptoms even though there is no real danger present. Panic attacks themselves are not life-threatening, but they can make you feel like you can’t breathe like you’re having a heart attack, or like you might die. Panic attacks tend to come on suddenly and without warning. They can hit you anywhere at any time—even in places you would expect to feel safe. For example, a panic attack can wake you from a sound sleep in your own bed, hit you when you’re on vacation at the beach, or strike you while you’re in church. The distressing feelings can linger long after the initial onset of the panic attack. You may begin to live in fear of having another attack and begin avoiding places or situations where you think it might happen again. This can ruin your quality of life and cause problems at work, at school, and at home.
