Retired NASCAR Driver PJ Chesson on Concussions & Depression: “I Want To Feel Happy Consistently”

In this episode of Scan My Brain, former NASCAR driver PJ Chesson visits Dr. Amen at Amen Clinics Orange County, CA to see the impact past concussions have had on his brain. Like retired football players, many race car drivers have experienced head trauma and have not even known about it. Dr. Amen reveals the results of PJ’s SPECT scans, pointing out the areas of the brain that had been affected over the years. He then gives PJ a plan for slowing down or even reversing these effects. At the end of the video, PJ shares an update on his life now that he has been implementing new, healthier habits.
