Emma McAdam, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist walks you through the basics of how you can change your brain, improve your mental health, and become healthier and happier without medication. This course will help anyone with depression, anxiety, other mental illness to know what they can do to get healthier.
At least 35% of people experience a mental illness like depression or anxiety throughout their lifetime. That means that you or someone you love needs resources to know how to feel better. Many people have heard that “chemical imbalance” or genes can affect mental health, but most people don’t know that you can actually change your brain chemistry without medication. Your brain's ability to change is called Neuroplasticity.
You will learn about simple daily habits that research has shown to work better than Prozac at treating depression or anxiety. Many of these changes take only minutes a day. By the end of this course you’ll know 10 ways that you can change your brain’s chemistry, structure and function. You’ll learn how to prime your brain to be healthier and happier.
You’ll also learn what modern imaging technology has taught us about neuroplasticity-your brain’s ability to rewire itself-about using your body to regulate your brain, what nutrient deficiencies to look out for, how to resolve the “scarcity brain”, techniques for resolving stress, and more
So if you or someone you loves experiences mental illness, or if you just want to know how to be happier, check this out!
