I have a TREMENDOUS amount of respect for LeAnn. The fact that she is discussing with the world the traumatic events that are causing her to be depressed and not happy is HUGE. It is difficult enough to get therapy and share your feelings with one person let alone the whole world. She will save lives because of this interview. Keep up the good work LeAnne.
Well said! I’ve always loved Leann, I knew she was going through something with a record label, I just didn’t know what! Bless her heart! I wonder if her dad signed her into that record deal with label! I hope she finds extreme happiness and does give more of her amazing talent! God Bless her and family
This gal is amazing by showing her problems she is actually helping so many others, she is keeping her ego at bay helping herself and god only knows how many other folks who are hurting!
I relate so much... no motivation, no energy and you can tell Leanne has anxiety doing this interview cuz how much she's smiling and giggling... I feel you... God bless you 🙏 ❤️ my heart goes out to you ❤️
Ohhhhh, I can relate very well to the problems you describe. And I have found that to improve the situation for yourself, you should make a goal to do these things, because you are of value to everyone in society (and take showers at a frequency that suits you, and brush your teeth twice a day at least, please. If you don't manage to meet your goal, you are no better off than before, but the point is you tried !!!! And that's what matters! And please look after your body better to help it become healthier (for your sake, and then you will feel better too). That is, please make it a priority. And please put aside all your anxieties/distractions/depression for the time being. i.e. what's the difference in mixing things up a little? No hassle at all for yourself! It's important that you do these routines and fit them in, since you've managed to spend time to share something about yourself that you wish to improve, so why not improve?! And of course you deserve better for yourself! Don't be too fussed, (brush with light pressure at a point where you find it comfortable and brush away!) and do these things you mentioned with care, and you will feel happier! Let me know if this helps. If it doesn't help, send me a reply and i might be able to suggest something else. (I've been through a very similar experience). But please care about yourself more and more and more and more.....don't ever stop!! never stop caring about yourself and your needs (and you'll get back on track sooner than you think).
The joy of the Lord is my strength. I have joy because of what Jesus did on the cross and His resurrection. God can fill you with the Holy Spirit which will strengthen you and give you joy everlasting. God gives our lives meaning. The devil only wants to rob,kill and destroy you.Jesus gives life,truth and love.
WOW, LeAnn looks so beautiful! I've been dealing with many of the same symptoms as her. I actually had my brain scanned yesterday. I'm so excited to see the results!
Love that Leanne came to visit and sharing what she is struggling with since so many are struggling with similar things. The music and entertaiment industry is terrible (along with other high stress industry) btw - so bad for musicians and actors mental health.
LeAnn, the solution is simple; doing something to help others, frequently-for free. Take the focus off yourself. When you try to make other people happy, you will find joy.
We never know what people are going through. I look fine and healthy on the outside but I have severe joint pain and muscle pain caused from arthritis and fibromyalgia. I am grateful on days I can get to the store. So sorry Leanne for your struggles.
I've always thought most of us could easily get by with settling for "contentment", not happiness. Happy all the time or throughout one's day would be exhausting. No one is that happy. But simply being content gives us more of an even keel. It's also more achievable for most. Thanks, LeAnn, for sharing this with us. Gives me something to think about while I settle for contentment and peace in my own life.
Given that LeAnn is 40 years old (which is NOT old, but rather a different stage of life), it's possible that she is entering peri-menopause. Hormones are changing DRAMATICALLY through this phase. This, in and of itself, can be contributing to her symptoms, as well as adrenal fatigue. I greatly appreciate Dr. Amen and believe he provides a tremendous service to his patients, but this is a very one-dimensional perspective on what could be at the source of her distress and symptoms. In short, there is more than one way to skin a cat.
My mom used this term at in the final years of her life 😢. Miss her. I think if Leanne can get her story out more, she will find new purpose and hopefully new joy. ❤
Bless you, Leanne. You bring joy and hope to millions who go through these experiences in silence. May you be blessed with a long-continued life of joy and trusted souls who care about and for you.
Just tell the dentist you had an anxiety issue that led to self-neglect regarding your teeth, and so now you need some attention to your teeth. (the dentist will understand the context and pay attention to the teeth). It's okay! Don't feel embarrassed! It's not like you wanted your depression to have this affect on you. They will not be surprised by what they see. And it's better that you go now, rather than later (because then they will wonder why you procrastinated, isn't it?). i.e. you have a good reason to go now, so go now, please. Don't wait, otherwise the dentist will be upset that you didn't go sooner (i.e. think of it from the dentist's point of view. the healthier the teeth, the better they can manage it). if you wait, they have a harder job to do. (and then they'll be upset that they weren't able to help you sooner, isn't it?). So, please go now, otherwise they will get grumpy only because you procrastinated, not because of the depression you were under. You've expressed that you want to go, so go. You've got no reason not to go. They will be happy that you came as soon as you could manage, so that they can help you! ♥

Wow. Just found this. Followed Dr. Amen for YEARS while my son was growing and after he was diagnosed ADHD. Coupled with LeeAnn, what a treat. Thanks to you both.
Patients confidentiality is paramount when in therapy like this. I agree he shouldn’t be name dropping other patients full stop. That’s their business to share.
Due to being part of the entertainment industry. SRA abuse….She is a real talent, years ago her voice blew me away the first time I heard her. Blessings for LeAnn.
It always made me so mad how the media and public treated her during the affair/scandal with Eddie. They vilified her so much, yet Eddie wasn’t not blamed as much as her. I believe she carries a lot of guilt about how it all went down. This woman was robbed of her childhood by a greedy Father who wanted to profit off her talent.She married young, not surprising, as I can totally relate to wanting someone to love you. She hadn’t had a normal teenage dating phase so she clung to the first guy who showed her love and a sense of security. She is a brave young lady for talking about this. I wish her the best, she deserves it.
If I were on that couch, I’d be saying “Wait, can we stop for a minute. Why are you so mellow and calm? Don’t you have any empathy for me? Why aren’t you showing any emotion and getting angry saying “Oh my GOD! That sucks! I cannot BELIEVE what you went through!” That would sure make me feel better.
I just don’t know how a parent can be so greedy and disloyal to their own child and take advantage of them. Of course I don’t know the details, but even the mention of a parent taking advantage of their own kid causes me pain.
Pick one goal to do in a day. Here is an example: find every pencil you have in the house and sharpen them. It does not matter if it takes you 5 min or 8 hours, it’s just that you finish that one goal in a day. The feeling of that one accomplishment is joyous. Choose small, simple things to do and accomplish to start and I am telling you it works!
I admire her for sharing and wish her healing and positive motivation. At the end of the day she is a human like us all. Perhaps her courage will help others who have not found the strength to reach out for help. I tell you what… Vyvanse has been a wonder drug for me.
I hope you feel better soon Leann , you got this an I’ve been depressed before an on meds for 1 ye or so , I had lost my mom and I lost me , I did as my doctor told me to do an I started just got up one day an said I’m gonna beat this an go do an see some of this world an hang out with friends an family ❤ thank you fur sharing this very private, sensitive issue that many people have an some don’t even know it , bless you me lady an I pray you heal soon so life can be more joyful for ya , take care le Ann
Love Leanne!! Hope she finds peace/ contentment/ joy. I just read about the miraculous power of magnesium for anxiety/ depression. And how horrible alcohol is, since it’s a depressant.
Totally feel her pain, getting out of bed is a chore. Everyday is the same, l just feel a huge weight of sadness, it's been years now & l often don't feel like being here. God bless her for sharing.
I am from Florida, born & raised about an hour north of where LeAnn comes from. I was always privately proud that a 'local girl' could achieve so much. She had talent that could not be repressed. And that is something, because in my hometown area I have known other persons / females with talent and, try as they may, they just can't seem to break out of the local singing-in-a-bar scene or at a beach restaurant for the evening crowd. Even one or two who were handed an incredible offer from a local wealthy individual to fund their first CD - the local female artist would blow that opportunity by smothering the chance with their own massive ego, despite having a pretty great singing voice. So, cheers to LeAnn, for her accomplishments. I can also understand 'why' she might be dealing with so very much right now, as I, too, come from a family that offered challenges to a young boy growing up. Sometimes I'm not certain how I am still standing. I do find peace with my own personal spirituality, that which brings me comfort. I have also learned, and this may sound funny, but what goes in my tummy has a lot to do with my strength and happiness. Woody Allen, when he 'made it', admitted that he withdrew into his home and ate pies all day, every day. I'm certain they were tasty. But not nutritious. Eating / drinking healthy meals goes a long way in helping my body, my mind, feel strong. Giving me the strength to get up each day and always try to do something a little bit better than I did the day before. Maybe my own insight might offer some inspiration. I wish you, LeAnn, the best.
Life is so hard. I have come to the realization that we are not happy all of the time. Life consist of only happy moments. We just have to embrace both emotions. I know that is easier said that done cause there are times I just want to give up but I just keep going.
The work Dr. Amen does is fascinating and amazing. I am beyond impressed by Leanne to open up publicly this way. I am sure it wasn’t easy but I am also certain this will help others. I do hope Dr. Amen can help her feel better. Thank you for sharing.
I suffer from anhedonia (lack of pleasure/joy) as well, with ADHD (especially executive functioning), and finally had a genetic brain scan that revealed an overactive enzyme that essentially eats up all of my dopamine very soon after it’s released. I’m on Vyvanse too, and it’s been a literal lifesaver in conjunction with bupenophrine (Suboxone, prescribed off label for severe depression). Still, getting out of bed is a daily struggle and I anticipate the sweet release of death with immense longing. One day at a time...
Anhedonia, yes it's a thing and it's a literal bummer. You're likely to feel guilty, too, especially if you know you're blessed. But still, nothing seems wothwhile, worth doing, exciting, or uplifts your spirits. A sunny day is no better than gloomy overcast.
Dear LeAnn, This is a huge subject & l'm going to tell my own abbreviated story as quickly as possible. I'm a mystic & grew up in incredible suffering - sexual assaults by my eldest brother for 8 yrs beginning at 5. My sister murdered me at 3 & l was not allowed to stay on the other side, tho l was there for many hours. She continued trying to kill me every year & a half after that, until we were grown. The stress was way beyond bearable. I got through a lot of it by dissociating. I struggled into adulthood with depression, anxiety & so on. Since l was 3, l have wanted nothing more than to go back to heaven & stay there. Nothing but love & goodness there, while this earth realm gets uglier by the day. I think lack of joy is a normal response to such a harsh environment. Especially for someone so deeply intelligent, spiritual & loving, as l suspect you are. I think the best we can do is to protect ourselves from outside forces, guard our lives & privacy. Meditation helps some, slow breath yoga & acceptance of where you are. I'm so very sorry that you're suffering. There is an end to it. I'm nearly 71 now & look forward to going home, because l feel that it is our only true home. I began crying as soon as l saw the caption under your photo w/ Dr Amen. I know you suffer. I think most of us, if we're able to be honest, are suffering. This world is not a pretty place as it mostly once was when we were growing up. There was good & bad, but people were much more connected, loving & so on. Now, we are a world of avoiders, bullies & people living lives through the internet. Please take care in every way possible. There's a new brain wave therapy that apparently helps depression incredibly. Nothing like shock. You have the resources to find & use it. I've heard only good about it. Much love to you, Betsy
Hi Betsy- I’ve crossed over too, and similarly can hardly wait to return home (although I recall having begged to return to this life I’ve always loathed, because I remembered why I incarnated here in the first place). My heart goes out to you and your tenacity inspires me to keep going. God bless, and see you on the other side, angel. ps. The brightest lights attract the darkest/most “vampiric” energies, as our spirit, still connected to God, provides them with the (aetheric) energy they need to survive. But that was always designed to be a temporary arrangement. 💝🙏
I wish LeeAnn the best. I too suffer from anxiety and depression. This doctor however doesn’t rub me the right way. All these color charts have never impressed me and the fact he named dropped and has all those pills behind him as if this was a info commercial is suspicious.
There is healing in Christ. I lived this way for 30 years but then Jesus set me free when I cried out to Him. Medicine could not touch what He did in me. There is hope in Him.
I love her! Why is Dr Amen only analyzing her brain when studies show and have been proven that your gut health is the key to AMAZING brain health. He doesn’t mention it at all Very upsetting ☹ I hope she finds the help she needs.
I was very concerned about Leannes mental health, I absolutely love this young lady ❤️ and I have loved her for years. And I will always keep her in my life and my prayers for her health! After watching this video for a while, now I have to say that this is just a commercial to sell brain supplements! I want you to know that I don't want to see anything happen to this wonderful woman, and I want to see her for many years to come. So to some this up don't make my heart break! For a commercial!!!
It's a dream to have the means to see this doctor for help. I need it so much and I can't afford it So.. suffering my own way to health the best I can with so many tbi's that I can't even count them over my life.
I want to watch a before and AFTER video of how they are NOW! Did his plan work for them? Does the scan show the end result of what he said it would? I am fascinated with Dr Amen. I hope his clinic is the real deal. I am literally sitting on his clinic in Waukegan (Chicago) with my 24 yo daughter. I am hoping to get answers with her ADD & CAPD. She struggles everyday. Has been on/off meds since she was diagnosed at age 14. Unfortunately I don’t have the money to sit in with Dr Amen but I hope this clinic here will help her. VERY expensive but I would always regret not coming. Prayers we get help and answers to her health where she can lead a “normal” life. 🙏🏻
I don't mean to continue to bring up the past , but I need to add an insight from a biblical perspective. Galatians 6:7 says that as a man soweth, so shall he reap. You cannot bring pain and suffering to others without LOSING joy. Many times, we sin and bring about a curse on ourselves. Yet, if we are truly honest and examine ourselves, we will see that our actions led us there directly. Let us be warned and take heed! 🙏🏽
This doctor should just point everyone to Christ for a total healing and the source of all joy! In His presence is fullness of joy, at His right hand are pleasures forevermore. 🙏
This guy?? This is Dr Daniel Amen. World renowned psychiatrist on the leading edge of brain neuroscience with the most advanced knowledge on how to treat depression and other brain disorders and not just call it a mental disorder. Read a few of his books and you’ll have a different perspective.
Is he not a guy? Is he not a guy name dropping non-stop? Sorry but I don't worship people based upon their proximity to celebrities. I'm sure he's all the smart things you claim. Maybe you could remind him as you've done so to me that his more important resume items are his accomplishments, not his celebrity clients.@@blccombs
I started deep breathing more often, to kill ants. I usually let them run. I don't have a minds eye, so when I used to meditate. I thought I did it half well. I switched to diaphramatic breathing.
@@lauramcclain8651 It's better not to comment than to be off-putting, even if you're right. In this case, you're nonsensical comment is wrong. Reread it and move the period to where it goes as you do and it will make sense. The OP is talking about ant theory. Google it.
Poor woman. What a dysregulated childhood. So many children in show biz are so scared and stressed while others live off and use them. I’d have a lack of joy too. I’m glad she’s recovering from decades of pushing and performing. To be taken advantage of by family and those trusted is heartbreaking. She’s been suffering from childhood CPTSD and now in recovery. It’s a brain injury. His work makes sense.
I agree……I was shocked by that. Unless they sign a waiver and then he is putting it out on RUclips. I find something strange about this entire process.
Marketing. He’s selling something or his brand, his affiliations, lectures, etc..He may have fantastic science based info that is efficacious but the promoting is more important to him than confidentiality. Perhaps he’s trying to build rapport, and he did get us to watch. Much respect to her for sharing.
It's on you tube. HIPPA doesn't quite apply when you've put your doctor visit on social media. I appreciate that she and Justin are exposing how they were abused by the music industry and how that abuse has affected their mental health years later. It is a great lesson on what stress does to brain development.
@Pixie_damsel There are many other doctors that feel that this is a scam and that the scans can’t possibly show what he is saying that they are….. I googled it and there are plenty of articles about this process and if it is ethical. All that I know is that just your average person could not afford his treatment nor would insurance cover this process.
I love that she is owning her life and doing what is necessary for HER but, is it a Hippa violation for Daniel Amen to mention two other starts names ??? I don't like that at all.
Thank you for reaching out. For more information about brain SPECT scans and our services, please contact our Care Coordinators: www.amenclinics.com/schedule-visit/
Want joy? Find it in Christ. The joy of the Lord is my strength. As the world has fallen farther and farther away, mental health has become worse. There is a correlation.
What was the other supplement he said you shouldn’t take with theanine? He said if you take it together with ? (Was it gaba something?) it would be a fire for wine drinkers?
I really need this kind of help, following a TBI and four strokes.... but I don't know how to get help. I am so depressed, and my mind doesn't work. I have no drive, no determination, no joy. I can't afford anything because I haven't been able to work. I feel it's hopeless.
Everyone needs to connect to who God created them to be as joy comes from the peace God gives us when we are align with His will and He loves us more then we can comprehend. Jesus is the healer and can restore the broken heart through His Spirit. May the gifts He gave us bring Him glory, this is truth which she is needing and will become the fullness of her joy!
Jeez so many concerts..... !! Not only would that be physically draining, but also bad for a person's voice, up super late especially as a young girl at the time. Just terrible for her dad to do this to her. I can see maybe every couple few weeks or so to give her a big break? I'm sure they all saw money coming in. So very sad.

Can we all take a moment to appreciate that she is sharing her story with the world. Blessings to everyone with health and happiness.
I totally agree...I love this playlist of videos!
I have a TREMENDOUS amount of respect for LeAnn. The fact that she is discussing with the world the traumatic events that are causing her to be depressed and not happy is HUGE. It is difficult enough to get therapy and share your feelings with one person let alone the whole world. She will save lives because of this interview. Keep up the good work LeAnne.
self promotion at its most blatant
So true honest post like these save lives.
So a consultation and scan is about $5,000.00. Now that's depressing
Well said! I’ve always loved Leann, I knew she was going through something with a record label, I just didn’t know what! Bless her heart! I wonder if her dad signed her into that record deal with label! I hope she finds extreme happiness and does give more of her amazing talent! God Bless her and family
This gal is amazing by showing her problems she is actually helping so many others, she is keeping her ego at bay helping herself and god only knows how many other folks who are hurting!
I relate so much... no motivation, no energy and you can tell Leanne has anxiety doing this interview cuz how much she's smiling and giggling... I feel you... God bless you 🙏 ❤️ my heart goes out to you ❤️
Laugh now cry later.
So a consult and scan is about $5,000.00! Now that depressing
I feel like she is me. Have to force myself to shower once a week and brushing my teeth is overwhelming. I feel like I’m crazy! My life is joyless!
Ohhhhh, I can relate very well to the problems you describe.
And I have found that to improve the situation for yourself, you should make a goal to do these things, because you are of value to everyone in society (and take showers at a frequency that suits you, and brush your teeth twice a day at least, please.

Let me know if this helps.
If it doesn't help, send me a reply and i might be able to suggest something else.
(I've been through a very similar experience). But please care about yourself more and more and more and more.....don't ever stop!! never stop caring about yourself and your needs (and you'll get back on track sooner than you think).
I was like that 2 months ago.
Me too 😢
Honey I unfortunately know exactly how you feel! Sending you much much love & respect from Tennessee ❤
The joy of the Lord is my strength. I have joy because of what Jesus did on the cross and His resurrection.

WOW, LeAnn looks so beautiful! I've been dealing with many of the same symptoms as her. I actually had my brain scanned yesterday. I'm so excited to see the results!
How much did it costs?
Love that Leanne came to visit and sharing what she is struggling with since so many are struggling with similar things. The music and entertaiment industry is terrible (along with other high stress industry) btw - so bad for musicians and actors mental health.
LeAnn, the solution is simple; doing something to help others, frequently-for free. Take the focus off yourself. When you try to make other people happy, you will find joy.
The strongest person, and such a kind person. LeAnn you help so many people, just want to give you a big hug 🤗 xxx
I love LeAnn too. I'm like her too, suffer from depression all ,y life, anxiety. Have no idea what joy, happiness is.
You are so strong, Leanne! Thank you for doing this.
We never know what people are going through. I look fine and healthy on the outside but I have severe joint pain and muscle pain caused from arthritis and fibromyalgia. I am grateful on days I can get to the store.
So sorry Leanne for your struggles.

Point taken, though bear in mind she has been in this struggle lifelong.
Absolutely
But wouldn’t a medical professional determine that and told her? It seems to me that would be one of the first areas of physiology to look into
@@ernestgutierrez6428 many doctors don’t know much about menopause and especially not peri menopause as it’s not well known or studied.
Try to use a better saying than “skinning” an animal 🤮👎🏻
My mom used this term at in the final years of her life 😢. Miss her. I think if Leanne can get her story out more, she will find new purpose and hopefully new joy. ❤
I love her so much and I also relate to her!!! Sometimes, it feels like my brain is my own enemy because I have a hard time controlling my thoughts 💯
Hi! You can look at Eckhart Tolle videos for help with this 👍
Thanks for the honesty, LeAnn. Bless you ❤
Bless you, Leanne. You bring joy and hope to millions who go through these experiences in silence. May you be blessed with a long-continued life of joy and trusted souls who care about and for you.
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing this! I greatly appreciate this interview.
My teeth are suffering from my depression and now my anxiety of my self neglect prevents me from going to the dentist. I’m a bloody mess!
Go to the dentist!
One breath at a time, one foot in front of the other, you are Valuable ❣️
Just tell the dentist you had an anxiety issue that led to self-neglect regarding your teeth, and so now you need some attention to your teeth. (the dentist will understand the context and pay attention to the teeth). It's okay! Don't feel embarrassed! It's not like you wanted your depression to have this affect on you. They will not be surprised by what they see. And it's better that you go now, rather than later (because then they will wonder why you procrastinated, isn't it?). i.e. you have a good reason to go now, so go now, please. Don't wait, otherwise the dentist will be upset that you didn't go sooner (i.e. think of it from the dentist's point of view. the healthier the teeth, the better they can manage it). if you wait, they have a harder job to do. (and then they'll be upset that they weren't able to help you sooner, isn't it?). So, please go now, otherwise they will get grumpy only because you procrastinated, not because of the depression you were under.
You've expressed that you want to go, so go. You've got no reason not to go. They will be happy that you came as soon as you could manage, so that they can help you! ♥

Wow. Just found this. Followed Dr. Amen for YEARS while my son was growing and after he was diagnosed ADHD. Coupled with LeeAnn, what a treat. Thanks to you both.
I think at least 75 percent of us feels like this.
This dr is wonderful. Hard to find ones like him these days…..
Patients confidentiality is paramount when in therapy like this. I agree he shouldn’t be name dropping other patients full stop. That’s their business to share.
Great job I have a whole new respect with her for being so vulnerable. This is helping millions of people.
Due to being part of the entertainment industry. SRA abuse….She is a real talent, years ago her voice blew me away the first time I heard her. Blessings for LeAnn.
It always made me so mad how the media and public treated her during the affair/scandal with Eddie. They vilified her so much, yet Eddie wasn’t not blamed as much as her. I believe she carries a lot of guilt about how it all went down. This woman was robbed of her childhood by a greedy Father who wanted to profit off her talent.She married young, not surprising, as I can totally relate to wanting someone to love you. She hadn’t had a normal teenage dating phase so she clung to the first guy who showed her love and a sense of security. She is a brave young lady for talking about this. I wish her the best, she deserves it.
Never give up hope There is a purpose and meaning left for your life
If I were on that couch, I’d be saying “Wait, can we stop for a minute. Why are you so mellow and calm? Don’t you have any empathy for me? Why aren’t you showing any emotion and getting angry saying “Oh my GOD! That sucks! I cannot BELIEVE what you went through!” That would sure make me feel better.
I just don’t know how a parent can be so greedy and disloyal to their own child and take advantage of them. Of course I don’t know the details, but even the mention of a parent taking advantage of their own kid causes me pain.
Same situation as with Britanny Spears, with her dad
Is that why she ruined a marriage that had two kids ala Brandi Granville??????
Pick one goal to do in a day. Here is an example: find every pencil you have in the house and sharpen them. It does not matter if it takes you 5 min or 8 hours, it’s just that you finish that one goal in a day. The feeling of that one accomplishment is joyous. Choose small, simple things to do and accomplish to start and I am telling you it works!
LEANNE BLESS YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS.
I admire her for sharing and wish her healing and positive motivation. At the end of the day she is a human like us all. Perhaps her courage will help others who have not found the strength to reach out for help. I tell you what… Vyvanse has been a wonder drug for me.
I hope you feel better soon Leann , you got this an I’ve been depressed before an on meds for 1 ye or so , I had lost my mom and I lost me , I did as my doctor told me to do an I started just got up one day an said I’m gonna beat this an go do an see some of this world an hang out with friends an family ❤ thank you fur sharing this very private, sensitive issue that many people have an some don’t even know it , bless you me lady an I pray you heal soon so life can be more joyful for ya , take care le Ann
Name dropping would make me doubt his motives, I'd personally be out of there. I pray he helps her, she's a lovely person and deserves to feel better.
Love Leanne!! Hope she finds peace/ contentment/ joy.
I just read about the miraculous power of magnesium for anxiety/ depression. And how horrible alcohol is, since it’s a depressant.
Love love love LeAnn!!!
I wasn't sure but watching her sing Spaceship I couldn't help but think the song was intensely personal.
Everything she says resonated.
We love you Lean. And we support you.
she is so brave to do this
Totally feel her pain, getting out of bed is a chore. Everyday is the same, l just feel a huge weight of sadness, it's been years now & l often don't feel like being here. God bless her for sharing.
That girl is s real singer.
You're the best Leanne
Love her!
Ms Rimes your the best. Thanx for sharing.
I am from Florida, born & raised about an hour north of where LeAnn comes from. I was always privately proud that a 'local girl' could achieve so much. She had talent that could not be repressed. And that is something, because in my hometown area I have known other persons / females with talent and, try as they may, they just can't seem to break out of the local singing-in-a-bar scene or at a beach restaurant for the evening crowd. Even one or two who were handed an incredible offer from a local wealthy individual to fund their first CD - the local female artist would blow that opportunity by smothering the chance with their own massive ego, despite having a pretty great singing voice. So, cheers to LeAnn, for her accomplishments.
I can also understand 'why' she might be dealing with so very much right now, as I, too, come from a family that offered challenges to a young boy growing up. Sometimes I'm not certain how I am still standing. I do find peace with my own personal spirituality, that which brings me comfort. I have also learned, and this may sound funny, but what goes in my tummy has a lot to do with my strength and happiness. Woody Allen, when he 'made it', admitted that he withdrew into his home and ate pies all day, every day. I'm certain they were tasty. But not nutritious. Eating / drinking healthy meals goes a long way in helping my body, my mind, feel strong. Giving me the strength to get up each day and always try to do something a little bit better than I did the day before. Maybe my own insight might offer some inspiration. I wish you, LeAnn, the best.
Life is so hard. I have come to the realization that we are not happy all of the time. Life consist of only happy moments. We just have to embrace both emotions. I know that is easier said that done cause there are times I just want to give up but I just keep going.
The work Dr. Amen does is fascinating and amazing. I am beyond impressed by Leanne to open up publicly this way. I am sure it wasn’t easy but I am also certain this will help others. I do hope Dr. Amen can help her feel better. Thank you for sharing.
I don't understand how someone underage can be tied to a record label till there mid 30s.
LeAnn has an amazing voice. I think success as a 13 year old messed her up, plus problems with early management. Plus loss of money and lawsuits.
Prayer is the only way to get any joy for me
😂
I suffer from anhedonia (lack of pleasure/joy) as well, with ADHD (especially executive functioning), and finally had a genetic brain scan that revealed an overactive enzyme that essentially eats up all of my dopamine very soon after it’s released. I’m on Vyvanse too, and it’s been a literal lifesaver in conjunction with bupenophrine (Suboxone, prescribed off label for severe depression). Still, getting out of bed is a daily struggle and I anticipate the sweet release of death with immense longing. One day at a time...
Anhedonia, yes it's a thing and it's a literal bummer. You're likely to feel guilty, too, especially if you know you're blessed. But still, nothing seems wothwhile, worth doing, exciting, or uplifts your spirits. A sunny day is no better than gloomy overcast.
YES! Exactly!
Such a sad situation for such a young teenager to go thru.
Dear LeAnn,
This is a huge subject & l'm going to tell my own abbreviated story as quickly as possible.
I'm a mystic & grew up in incredible suffering - sexual assaults by my eldest brother for 8 yrs beginning at 5. My sister murdered me at 3 & l was not allowed to stay on the other side, tho l was there for many hours. She continued trying to kill me every year & a half after that, until we were grown. The stress was way beyond bearable. I got through a lot of it by dissociating. I struggled into adulthood with depression, anxiety & so on. Since l was 3, l have wanted nothing more than to go back to heaven & stay there. Nothing but love & goodness there, while this earth realm gets uglier by the day. I think lack of joy is a normal response to such a harsh environment. Especially for someone so deeply intelligent, spiritual & loving, as l suspect you are. I think the best we can do is to protect ourselves from outside forces, guard our lives & privacy. Meditation helps some, slow breath yoga & acceptance of where you are.
I'm so very sorry that you're suffering. There is an end to it. I'm nearly 71 now & look forward to going home, because l feel that it is our only true home.
I began crying as soon as l saw the caption under your photo w/ Dr Amen. I know you suffer. I think most of us, if we're able to be honest, are suffering.
This world is not a pretty place as it mostly once was when we were growing up. There was good & bad, but people were much more connected, loving & so on. Now, we are a world of avoiders, bullies & people living lives through the internet.
Please take care in every way possible. There's a new brain wave therapy that apparently helps depression incredibly. Nothing like shock. You have the resources to find & use it. I've heard only good about it.
Much love to you, Betsy
Hi Betsy- I’ve crossed over too, and similarly can hardly wait to return home (although I recall having begged to return to this life I’ve always loathed, because I remembered why I incarnated here in the first place). My heart goes out to you and your tenacity inspires me to keep going. God bless, and see you on the other side, angel.
ps. The brightest lights attract the darkest/most “vampiric” energies, as our spirit, still connected to God, provides them with the (aetheric) energy they need to survive. But that was always designed to be a temporary arrangement. 💝🙏
I wish LeeAnn the best. I too suffer from anxiety and depression. This doctor however doesn’t rub me the right way. All these color charts have never impressed me and the fact he named dropped and has all those pills behind him as if this was a info commercial is suspicious.
There is healing in Christ. I lived this way for 30 years but then Jesus set me free when I cried out to Him. Medicine could not touch what He did in me. There is hope in Him.
I know Dr. Amen is a believer and I'm sure he is sharing with her all of the options to help. ❤
Thank you for sharing!
Sorry but should he be discussing Beiber being on his couch at all? Let alone the details. That's a breach of HIPPA laws surely.
I love her! Why is Dr Amen only analyzing her brain when studies show and have been proven that your gut health is the key to AMAZING brain health. He doesn’t mention it at all
Very upsetting ☹ I hope she finds the help she needs.
Arghhh ….: your gut doesn’t cause depression .
I can so relate to LeAnn!
I feel her pain. It sucks.
Should the Doctor be name dropping patient’s names - what happened to doc-patient confidentiality?
Joy is a fruitage of Gods spirit …love , joy , peace , goodness……….
Read Gods word daily …meditate on that ! 💕💕
JUST HEARD THIS SAYING "DONT BELEIVE EVERYTHING YOU THINK".
Is there a follow up video? Does LeAnn feel better?
I was very concerned about Leannes mental health, I absolutely love this young lady ❤️ and I have loved her for years. And I will always keep her in my life and my prayers for her health! After watching this video for a while, now I have to say that this is just a commercial to sell brain supplements! I want you to know that I don't want to see anything happen to this wonderful woman, and I want to see her for many years to come. So to some this up don't make my heart break! For a commercial!!!
It's a dream to have the means to see this doctor for help.
I need it so much and I can't afford it
So.. suffering my own way to health the best I can with so many tbi's that I can't even count them over my life.
This guy loves Vyvanse.
She might be in perimenopause. Try that.
I love her voice!
God bless her❤
Wow shocked. She’s talented beautiful has a great husband and is healthy and rich.
I want to watch a before and AFTER video of how they are NOW! Did his plan work for them? Does the scan show the end result of what he said it would?
I am fascinated with Dr Amen. I hope his clinic is the real deal. I am literally sitting on his clinic in Waukegan (Chicago) with my 24 yo daughter. I am hoping to get answers with her ADD & CAPD. She struggles everyday. Has been on/off meds since she was diagnosed at age 14.
Unfortunately I don’t have the money to sit in with Dr Amen but I hope this clinic here will help her. VERY expensive but I would always regret not coming. Prayers we get help and answers to her health where she can lead a “normal” life. 🙏🏻
how sweet voice!
I don't mean to continue to bring up the past , but I need to add an insight from a biblical perspective. Galatians 6:7 says that as a man soweth, so shall he reap. You cannot bring pain and suffering to others without LOSING joy. Many times, we sin and bring about a curse on ourselves. Yet, if we are truly honest and examine ourselves, we will see that our actions led us there directly. Let us be warned and take heed! 🙏🏽
The dr amen show on network tv would be great .
No it's pretty lame
It’s too bad Dr Amen checks celebrities only. I would love it if he can check my child. He is the real deal.
This doctor should just point everyone to Christ for a total healing and the source of all joy! In His presence is fullness of joy, at His right hand are pleasures forevermore. 🙏
This guy is super proud of the fact that he treated Justin Bieber.
This guy?? This is Dr Daniel Amen. World renowned psychiatrist on the leading edge of brain neuroscience with the most advanced knowledge on how to treat depression and other brain disorders and not just call it a mental disorder. Read a few of his books and you’ll have a different perspective.
Is he not a guy? Is he not a guy name dropping non-stop? Sorry but I don't worship people based upon their proximity to celebrities. I'm sure he's all the smart things you claim. Maybe you could remind him as you've done so to me that his more important resume items are his accomplishments, not his celebrity clients.@@blccombs
Joy is a fruit of God's spirit. You need to ask for it.
I started deep breathing more often, to kill ants. I usually let them run. I don't have a minds eye, so when I used to meditate. I thought I did it half well. I switched to diaphramatic breathing.
This group of words does not actually make a complete sentence . Nonsensical .
@@lauramcclain8651 It's better not to comment than to be off-putting, even if you're right. In this case, you're nonsensical comment is wrong. Reread it and move the period to where it goes as you do and it will make sense. The OP is talking about ant theory. Google it.
Poor woman. What a dysregulated childhood. So many children in show biz are so scared and stressed while others live off and use them. I’d have a lack of joy too. I’m glad she’s recovering from decades of pushing and performing. To be taken advantage of by family and those trusted is heartbreaking. She’s been suffering from childhood CPTSD and now in recovery. It’s a brain injury. His work makes sense.
Why is this doctor talking about other patients he has helped. No doctor does that!
I agree……I was shocked by that. Unless they sign a waiver and then he is putting it out on RUclips. I find something strange about this entire process.
Marketing. He’s selling something or his brand, his affiliations, lectures, etc..He may have fantastic science based info that is efficacious but the promoting is more important to him than confidentiality. Perhaps he’s trying to build rapport, and he did get us to watch. Much respect to her for sharing.
It's on you tube. HIPPA doesn't quite apply when you've put your doctor visit on social media.
I appreciate that she and Justin are exposing how they were abused by the music industry and how that abuse has affected their mental health years later. It is a great lesson on what stress does to brain development.
@Pixie_damsel doesn't apply when you've put it on You Tube.
@Pixie_damsel
There are many other doctors that feel that this is a scam and that the scans can’t possibly show what he is saying that they are….. I googled it and there are plenty of articles about this process and if it is ethical. All that I know is that just your average person could not afford his treatment nor would insurance cover this process.
I love that she is owning her life and doing what is necessary for HER but, is it a Hippa violation for Daniel Amen to mention two other starts names ??? I don't like that at all.
Yes... a glaring HIPPA violation !!!!!
Even if the stars gave consent it's still unethical!!
It’s probably public knowledge how often Justin traveled and that he interviewed him
Is Justin Miley ?
@@AGNETHAFALTSK0G He was talking about Justin Bieber in the video, and his grueling child Star schedule, which is hardly a secret to anyone
@@kimberlyarlene4094 Justin and Miley look very similar, maybe the same person ?
How can someone who isn’t rich or a celebrity and has state insurance get a brain scan for their teenager
Thank you for reaching out. For more information about brain SPECT scans and our services, please contact our Care Coordinators: www.amenclinics.com/schedule-visit/
Was anyone else shocked when he told her (and us) the names of others that he had helped? That doesn’t sound very professional to me.
My life has been so disconnected. What can I do to begin unwavling this mess?!
I have the exact same struggles
This Dr is breaking HIPPA laws😮
Want joy? Find it in Christ. The joy of the Lord is my strength. As the world has fallen farther and farther away, mental health has become worse. There is a correlation.
What was the other supplement he said you shouldn’t take with theanine? He said if you take it together with ? (Was it gaba something?) it would be a fire for wine drinkers?
Go volunteer in the baby ICU and give the parents a break..you will feel joy
How much does a brain scan cost?
I really need this kind of help, following a TBI and four strokes.... but I don't know how to get help. I am so depressed, and my mind doesn't work. I have no drive, no determination, no joy.
I can't afford anything because I haven't been able to work. I feel it's hopeless.
Fascinating
I don’t think he should be bringing up other clients even if famous. It’s not professional.
Hi how're you doing?
What kind of spect was used to get mental health diagnosis?
PET-CT (Radiotracers required)
18F-FDG
18F-NaF
18F-FET
68Ga-PSMA
68Ga-DOTATATE
Here is more information on brain SPECT scans, compared with our scans: www.amenclinics.com/blog/how-does-spect-differ-from-other-brain-scans/
Everyone needs to connect to who God created them to be as joy comes from the peace God gives us when we are align with His will and He loves us more then we can comprehend.
Jesus is the healer and can restore the broken heart through His Spirit.
May the gifts He gave us bring Him glory, this is truth which she is needing and will become the fullness of her joy!
Jeez so many concerts..... !! Not only would that be physically draining, but also bad for a person's voice, up super late especially as a young girl at the time. Just terrible for her dad to do this to her. I can see maybe every couple few weeks or so to give her a big break? I'm sure they all saw money coming in. So very sad.
It’s too bad the scans are cost-prohibitive for most “normal” people who could benefit from them.
Hi how're you doing?
God will give you true, lasting joy. Call out to him.
Infomercial!
