- The coronavirus outbreak has triggered a surge in anxiety among people living in quarantine, and therefore it's no surprise that we've seen a massive spike in the use of anti-anxiety medications.

In this video, Dr. Amen gives you his medication alternatives that can have you feeling better in both the short and long term.

Deep belly breathing, chamomile tea, prayer, heating pad to diaphragm and belly, Christian music, vagus nerve reset exercise helps me. I start with a sip of tea, do the breathing throughout, vn exercise, etc. I can't stop a panic attack in 2 minutes. It usually takes me an hour, but that's better than an all day panic attack.
Give me a break! Chamomile tea is useless when you have a panic attack! You may as well drink champagne tea! Apparently you have never experienced a real panic disorder! Sure tea isn't going to help. Best bet is Meditation!!!
The deep breathing helps me when I feel short of breath and start to panic. It brings me back down.
Thank you for your comment. I do many of the suggestions except I never put a hot water bottle on the diaphragm and stomach and didn’t know about Vagas nerve.I will try your suggestions. ❤️
Has anyone tried lithium rotate- its a supplement ( not the lithium prescribed to people with bi polar)
Maybe it's in the book - haven't gotten to it yet. Also read an article about a supplement 5 Htp that may be helpful for anxiety and depression.
I love this man. He acknowledges our Creator!
Rubbish!

I Live in Brazil and read your books.
Very good to learn a lot.
I wish I had known about you 20 years ago. I am a retired psychiatric social worker and I love all your studies and information
Hi, can you tell me please, are palpitations very common with tension and anxiety over health? Or just general anxiety. As im getting a lot. Thanks
I'm only at the beginning of my journey...and all your information is so eye opening....looking forward to learning from you Dr. Amen. Thank you so much for these videos...
Excellent video-thank you Dr Amen ❤
I've lived with hope that life is dynamic and what I'm going to do about it is the spark of life. Thank you, Dr. Daniel Amen for your encouraging thoughts and words that bring a spark to my life.
Are you friends with Dr. Kelly Brogan? I am so thankful for a friend of mine who pointed me in her direction last year, when everyone was saying, “You need to get meds. This isn’t going away.” The two of you seem very much in agreement in your professional perspective. It is refreshing. I’m grateful to have now found you as well. God bless!
Thank you Dr Amen for all the factual and interesting info in which some I will incorporating in my life! ❤️
Ive always appreciated nutrition for the brain and Body NOT drugs. Hard on liver kidneys. etc. Gut. Thank you !!
Ron (husband) & I love watching these videos. If it hadn't been for the pandemic, you probably wouldn't be making these frequent videos.....so we see that as a very good thing! We enjoy the casual approach, love the stories intermingled.
GABA...yes ! I researched seizures when our last dog, Sophie, suffered seizures. I started giving her GABA & her monthly seizures almost stopped entirely. She'd get one a year, maybe, after that. We were SO glad because it was so upsetting to see this beautiful dog going thru a seizure. Her eyes showed her fear.
Thank you so much for these frequent podcasts....I'm sharing them on FB &/or emailing them. Big fans of yours.
Very glad to hear your parents are out of hospital & doing much better.
Dr Amen. You are a breath of fresh air. Thank you 😊
I really enjoy your videos thank you❤
Thank you Dr Amen. I'm now focussing on brain healthy. Eating healthy and thinking healthy
I really like the fact you address the reality that what works for one, may not work for another. As well as certain relaxation techniques/dietary differences and anxiety alternative strategies. I'm so looking forward to learning from both you and Tana....
I love your videos Dr...you are excellent.
Thank you Dr.
Dr Amen - You Are simply AWESOME! Thank You Soooo … much for everything you do!!! ❤

Dr Amen, I 💝U
You are simply the best!
Thank you endlessly for your wonderful work🙏🖐
Excuse my ignorance but what is this book called
Thank you Dr. Amen, your are an amazing mentor and I always love seeing all your content!
No problem. Thanks for watching
I love your brilliance and your enthusiasm! You and Tana contribute greatly to the world. Thank you!!
Dr Amen, I’m trying to eliminate all nightshades from my diet, and I’m wondering what supplements you carry that might have nightshades in them as I have autoship products from Brain MD.
Eliminating all nightshades might be as tricky as your patient found with eliminating MSG. Apparently nightshades are such a very diverse family that I can’t simply go by the genus/species when looking up foods/herbs/spices. Would you please let me know if all your products are free of nightshades?? Thanks so much!!!
I took Carlyle ginkgo and it was transformative. Depression and anxiety were vanquished and my energy rose to a normal level. Amazing! Try it!
Did you have panic attacks too?
So grateful for your videos, going on 4 months of nonstop brain issues. I have some hope now.
What did you do to help?
Great video Dr!
Thank you for everything you do. xoxoxoxo
Thank you for these videos!! I love you. Next time I have an anxiety attack I hope you are around to talk me through it.
My my favorite is Psalms also!!!!🦋🤗
Thank you Dr.Amen. I am happy to now be a student in your Brain certification course.
I am in substance abuse community and feel mental health is where i would best serve, so as i study and work on my self a can then support others.
Happy your prayers are better they have been in my prayers.
Blessings Vanda
More please
Do you have grants ? Or an indigent person once a year you help? ❤🙏
Listening to you dr.amen its so clear how conditioned we americans are in using pharmacueticals. Through your dedication and educating us, we all can benefit. Thanks.
What a great video Dr. Amen, you are truly a blessing. I look forward to purchasing your book. My Question is about taking CBD oil for my sleep problem that comes from the Cannabis Hemp plant - different from that with THC. It is found to help those with BiPolar as well. I see you are not a fan - even from the Hemp plant only?
I do take Magnesium, Ashwagandha and have tried L Theanine, Valerian, Melatonin and will try GABA next but tempted by the CBD oil in desperation.
Bless you seen your gal. God’s blessings will come to you because you did not deny that he is part of your life in this fire you’re walking through. He said to call him in prayer. Praying for you. God bless you.
Thank you 💖☘️
Cervical instability can impinge the vagal nerve and cause spikes in heart rate that can seem like an anxiety attack. Good posture is very important especially with all the issues people have from texting and cell phone use which creates upper cross syndrome.
Have the book and loving it , even more during this difficult times 🙏🏻💖
what is this book called?
@@breeziebanks Dr Amen has several super interesting books . The one I has reading then was The end of mental illness “ . After that he wrote “Your brain is always listening “!about our dragons 🐉, and that one is also helpful and fun .
Thank you! 😇
I bought it the summer of 2020 I learned so much but I never applied it. I'm so sick now I'm going to do it now I'm done suffering.
@@breeziebanksThe end of Mental illness but he has lots of great books. Feel better fast make it last is another one.
Thanks
Dr. Amen l love listening to you, because I learn a lot from your knowledge and mostly because you speak very clear and slow and that makes my anxiety low.there is a lot going in my life and loneliness is the main trigger that make my anxiety level goes high.
I’m taking CBD oil with no THC I know your not a fan of this Drug but with no THC I want to know you Opinion I also taking fish oil,Ginkgo biloba, 5 HTP, to help me with my anxiety. God bless you.
Where can i buy yor book Dr.
So helpful Dr. Amen, thank you, I'm very grateful to have found you online.
Can one's brain recover once they get off valium and zanax and are a brain warrior? I am
actually afraid to ask and hear the answer.... but pray one can undo the damage and not go to the dark place.
3 yrs l8r ,how R u feeling??😅
I'm interested awesome video
Especially Remeron
MSG is scary!! I experienced it quite a number of times back then. Happens more with Asian food it seems and that's what I eat the most. It does make you feel like you're having a panic attack. I'm glad they're removing MSG from foods but it's still out there in low doses. I try to avoid them when I can. Whenever I felt funny in the stomach, I checked the ingredients and I noticed MSG listed. Nobody believed me before. They thought I was paranoid for no reason or placing wrongful blame. I was the only one in the family who experienced it. My mom eventually experienced it once and was freaked out. It landed my friend in the hospital too because she didn't know what was happening to her body.
My son has depression , anxiety and some psychosis symptoms although he hasnt been diagnosed with psychosis, he has had a lot of trauma growing up. He is on 2 drugs and it worries me. I wish he could get off the drugs.
Would this book be good to read if already read You, Happier?
Godsmacked!
Just spent two Days at Amen Chicago Clinic, For just such stuff. Just drove/rode back toMinnesota…
Is it safe to try to slowly get off alprazalom myself?, I take 0.5 mg daily for anxiety had thyroidectomy in 2007
About sleep,,,, yeah Benzoz, weed, alcohol,,, good short term perhaps ,long term not so much.
Any thoughts on Gabapentin? Better or worse than Benzos?
I did this, naturally though, I had written all these terrible things about myself on a note paper to get it out of my head, I was feeling very low in many ways, the next morning, I walked in and wrote "NOT" on each of them, and read it outloud to myself, and I felt this insane lifting of my spirit, like one of those wild winds that comes out of nowhere - it was such a relief.
This is really good advice. l am booking an appt to get my brain scanned and whatever else I need, if i have to sell the house, I don't care. at least I will know which way to go in ten years.
Hey Dr Amen Phosphatydleserine as "Sharp PS Green" works well for Anxiety
what are the alternatives to antipsychotics? How to recover from chronic psychosis?
I’m at the point after 40 yrs on meds. And still not much better. I’ll be looking to the Lord for healing and eating healthy and taking premium supplements. That’s where I’m at.
What's the name of the clinic in Highland Park
That's it low blood sugar. Unbelievable, the confusing mess that's been going on. You just summed it up. Thanks!
Hi. I was put on Xanax two or three months ago. I didn't realize it was that bad for you. I've been feeling a lot better I was extremely depressed and sad and anxious and and it has really helped me. If I want to get off of it though how do I go about that?
I like how you said , how would you feel if those negative thoughts where not there :)
I’m taking 1 mg Ativan twice a day I want to stop taking it can you share a natural approach / supplement.. I’m working on healing anxiety I do breathing techniques meditation 🧘🏻♀️ walking but I feel like I would like to find a more natural approach... help ?
I love your videos and books, I just wish going to your clinics was affordable. Almost $6,000 up front. I need help for my son so badly.
Try the naturopathic route first. I was gonna go to his clinic for a brain scan in 2020 I went to a Naturopathic doctor first it was expensive but not as much as a scan
What about high iron ? I have hereditary hemochromatosis. How does this affect my anxiety?
How do you view CBD dr Amen? Is it bad for the brain long term ?
Doctor Amen, can you break up the exercise into 10 or 15 minute intervals? Also, can it be moderate rather than high intensity? To get the results?
I had non anemic iron deficiency - Ferritin was 27 but the BRC/Hemoglobin was "normal". I had all symptoms of sever anemia but my CBC was normal. Hemoglobin had dropped from 139 to 127 over a few years. If your ferritin is below 40 you can have symptoms. Women! Get your iron tested and if it's under 40-60 take supplements. Diet takes to long. Also low B12 can cause anxiety. Big links to anxiety and depression with low iron. PS My iron dropped because I messed up my diet and trained a lot.
But which doctor will test ferritin besides a Naturopath? Most won't they just want you on pills.
@@Smiley35S my GP tested for it when I thought I was deficient, he included ferritin - I didn't even know what it was! Now that I recovered after 2 years of supplements I get my endo to add it to my thyroid panel panel. I have to get that tested every 6 months.
My GP also adds ferritin to my thyroid panel every six months.
Had a concussion a couple years ago that was mishandled and not cared for then. Anyway I have permanent vision damage in one eye (blurry and the eye whites around it are dark) and also headaches. I wonder if it's made other things worse too.
So sorry
Hello! What is your recommendation for personal hyperbaric chambers, thank you !
Dr Amen supports the treatment.
Is Saffron good for anxiety disorder
He is very good. It's very hard to change your negative thoughts. They consume you. I wish he was my doctor.
Yes. They come unbidden first thing in the morning.
Okay
I agree all these things are useful and necessary
But
For severe panic attacks with sensory issues
Like dizziness, floor tilting, vertigo ect.
These are in public and interrupt function
In those cases medications that act fast are the only sure fire way of being able to get out of that…you can do breath work…or walk or get to a better place…
Other things are long term habits that help manage these..
Now my issues do come from a head injury..but this has turned into a huge problem..that not much can be done for except symptom management..
Those are symptoms of binocular vision dysfunction I have them all and was diagnosed.
@@Smiley35SI feel like my doctor would have considered that..
I looked it up and some of the physical therapy I do is the same as would be done for that..
Interesting tho..
What about prozac?
have you heard of claire weekes or read her book?
I've been listening to your videos. If I don't drink a smoothie of milk and berries before bed I wake up at 3 and can't go back to sleep unless I eat something. I try to eat low carb and watch my weight. Do u have any suggestions. I'm healthy not diabetic
What is your way to take Safran??
Cbd's raised my blood pressure where I did not want to go
Does anyone knows what’s the name of the book he is talking about in minute 3:13
I really love it when your saying eliminate and kill the ants Dr. Amen.
19:47 I'm wondering if that's actually caused by the corn or the glyphosate that's sprayed on it 🤔
What about Benzo's? I take one other anti epileptic but the benzo keeps the Myoclnicus at Bay.
How do I know if I can trust a psychiatrist that takes insurance (if any do)? I've typically tried to stay away from the mental health side of the medical system and definitely skeptical. Visiting an amen clinic is far out of reach since they charge about $4k just for a scan and evaluation.
Breathing... Learnt something new recently.. Two phases of breath in. To the stomach yes.. But also you should feel your obliques above your hips move sideways also. Second phase of breath in. The upper top up.. Where the top of your breast/upper chest opens hold for 4. Breathe out for 6 ir 7 secs... Its a different world! 👍
Dr. Amen, u should reconsider the pose and utteration of your clips and videos. On this one, u look demented!! It's truly scary looking. Love your content, a real fan. ❤😊
He always looks demented
Because of covid ... Mail is late with my klonopin and seretraline been without them 2 days now ... I need something that is NOT a script
There are so many different types of Magnesium. Which one is good for depression and anxiety?
magnesium glycinate
These videos should be translated to other languages !!!! ❤️🙏
What about vegan omega supplements to avoid the polutans/toxins?
I liked your ant analogy.
which book has the elimination diet?
🌀🌀🤗🌀👍🌀💛🌀🌀Thank you for educating people on mental health and well-being!🌀🤝🌀✔️
