ONE BRAIN AT A TIME

What if mental health was really
brain health?

Over the past 30 plus years we have built the world’s largest database of brain SPECT scans, which can be used to better understand ourselves and to create more effective treatments, so you and your loved ones can get the help they deserve. This is why we created the Change Your Brain Foundation.

WE NEED A RADICAL NEW APPROACH TO BRAIN ISSUES THAT STEAL MINDS.

Our veterans deserve better.
Since 2000, over 350,000 veterans have sustained a TBI, which increases the risk of depression, anxiety, ADHD, addiction, dementia, PTSD, and suicide. Each day, an estimated 16.8 veterans die by suicide.

Our youth deserve better.
75% of all mental health issues begin before age 25. Nearly 32% of adolescents have an anxiety disorder, over 6 million have ADHD, and 33% of 12th graders used an illicit substance in the past year. 57% of teenage girls report being persistently sad and 30% have considered suicide, which is the 2nd leading cause of death in youth ages 10 to 34.

Our seniors deserve better.
1 in 3 seniors die with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Over 6 million people are currently living with Alzheimer’s, and that number is expected to more than double by 2050 with no cure in sight.


You deserve better.

September is Suicide Prevention Month.

Imaging studies reveal that people with suicidal thoughts and behavior often have the following brain abnormalities. Please share this to your story to spread awareness.

Head Injuries

Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)—even mild ones that don’t cause you to blackout—increase the risk of suicide. Falling off a bike, getting in a car accident, or falling off a ladder can cause dramatic changes in brain function that increase anxiety, depression, impulsivity, anger, poor decision-making, and substance abuse—all of which make a person more likely to contemplate suicide. At Amen Clinics, 40% of patients have experienced head trauma, but many of them don’t remember it.

Temporal Lobes

Brain SPECT imaging studies show that abnormalities in the temporal lobes—and especially in the left temporal lobe—are common in people with suicidal thoughts and behavior. In a study performed at Amen Clinics, left temporal lobe problems were present in 62% of people who seriously thought about taking their own life or who made a suicide attempt.

Prefrontal Cortex (PFC)

Low blood flow in the PFC, which is associated with impaired decision-making, impulse control, and judgment, is commonly seen in suicidal people. Anything that lowers PFC activity can increase the risk of suicide in those who are already vulnerable. For example, alcohol lowers activity in the PFC, and a study in BMJ found that22% of suicide victims were drunk at the time of their death.

Anterior Cingulate Gyrus (ACG)

The ACG is the brain’s gear shifter and helps you go from thought to thought. When there is too much activity in this area, however, people have a tendency to get stuck on negative thoughts, which is one of the traits seen in people with suicidal thoughts and behavior.
