A prescriptive guide to restoring cognitive calm, based on Amen Clinics chief psychiatrist Dr. Joseph Annibali’s three decades of treating patients who suffer from overloaded, overstimulated brains.
Dr. Joseph Annibali has treated thousands of people with overloaded, overstimulated brains. Some people describe their brain as being “in chaos”; others feel that their brain is “on fire.” But whether they are ultimately diagnosed with anxiety, disabling OCD, depression, bipolar disorder, or even substance abuse, the underlying problem is a Too-Busy Brain, a great irritant that interferes with attention, concentration, focus, mood, and often much more. It may even be a sign of undetected damage to either the brain or the body itself. But through practical strategies, understandable explanations, and prescriptive mind-management techniques, Dr. Annibali will help readers finally reclaim their brains and get back in control of their lives.
Reviews
"A well-rounded discussion of common mental problems and strategies for dealing with them."—Kirkus Reviews
“Readers of this book will be surprised to learn how much they can really do for themselves to calm their busy brains once they know how their brains work.”
—Daniel G. Amen, M.D., New York Times bestselling author of Change Your Brain, Change Your Life
“Reclaim Your Brain presents a practical and accessible guide to integrating current perspectives on mind and brain by melding well-constructed case examples into a user-friendly path toward self-help. Dr Annibali has a clear perspective on how to find your own identity apart from your deceptive brain messages.”
—Jeffrey Schwartz M.D., Author of You Are Not Your Brain and Brain Lock
"Comprehensive in what he treats and how he treats it, Dr. Annibali doesn’t just stop at the diagnosis but looks for the underlying cause, whether psychological, nutritional or simply miswiring and misfiring of brain circuits. In a warm and unceasingly expert manner, Dr. Annibali then finds the solution in our new model of psychiatry that helps individuals truly reclaim their brain."
—Hyla Cass MD, psychiatrist, author, 8 Weeks to Vibrant Health
