This 8 00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:27.359 is doctor Eric Kaplan, and you're listening to boost your 9 00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:36.640 brain power. May is Mental Awareness Month. Mental disorders are 10 00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:41.560 through the roof. It's so bad that one out of 11 00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:48.520 every four to five teenagers have contemplated suicide, actually killing themselves. 12 00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:55.039 That is scary. We've never had more young people on 13 00:00:55.399 --> 00:01:06.359 anti anxiety pills, anti depressions, mood stabilizers SSRIs xamax adderall. 14 00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:12.040 I mean, it's out of control. What's the problem. A 15 00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:15.680 lot of it has to do with the cell phones. 16 00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:21.239 The cell phones create a lot of anxiety and depression. 17 00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:28.079 You know, it's like a drug. When you send somebody 18 00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:32.599 a text message and you don't get a response right away, 19 00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.239 then you start to get depressed. And then an hour 20 00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.239 goes by and you still don't get a response. Then 21 00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:46.519 you get even anxious, and then the next day comes 22 00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.760 and there's no and your mind's raising. You worry, you 23 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:54.439 get angry, you get aggressive, you panic. Why aren't they 24 00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:54.920 texting me? 25 00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:55.680 What did I do? 26 00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:01.599 It's the technology can't They can't handle the technology, just 27 00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:04.680 like a young brain can't handle alcohol. So we say 28 00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:10.439 you can't have any alcohol before twenty one years of age, 29 00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:14.879 because then your brain's basically fully developed. You should never 30 00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:18.680 have alcohol before your brain's fully developed. And guess what, 31 00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:24.120 you shouldn't have any drugs before your brain is fully developed. 32 00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:29.599 So when you put these patients, these teenagers, on all 33 00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:34.400 these medications, you're messing up their brain chemistry. Their brains 34 00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:39.719 aren't fully developed. Just because they're depressed as a fourteen 35 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:41.840 year old doesn't mean they're going to be depressed as 36 00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:45.639 a twenty one year old. Sometimes all the brain needs 37 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:49.520 is to develop, needs to mature, needs to get some activation. 38 00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:54.560 And after the child gets that activation and the brain 39 00:02:54.599 --> 00:03:00.360 starts connecting, now there's no need for any treatment. But 40 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:06.479 don't intervene too early, especially with medication. That's very dangerous. 41 00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.439 Even if they have add or ADHD and you give 42 00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:15.280 them riddling an adderall that's dangerous. Their brains are developing. 43 00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:22.680 We should need to give children any drugs, and when 44 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.840 they're brain's developing, it's a lot more dangerous for than 45 00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:30.960 an adult brain that's fully developed. Right, So the brain 46 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.080 fully develops typically you know, twenty one, twenty two. It 47 00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:37.520 can keep on going up until twenty five. A female 48 00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.840 brain is usually fully developed, that's sixteen. A male brain 49 00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:45.840 usually again twenty one twenty two. So that's why we 50 00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:50.280 can't drink before twenty one. That's when you're really an adult. 51 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:54.599 But what's confusing is they have all these different rules. So, oh, 52 00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:59.400 you can be sixteen and start driving. Okay, your brain's 53 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:01.960 not fully devel You're gonna make bad decisions at sixteen 54 00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:05.199 seventeen years old, right, I don't want to be in 55 00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:09.240 the same road as a sixteen year old boy. They 56 00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.919 be speeding, going through stop signs, taking chances because they 57 00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:16.800 don't understand the consequences of actions. Their frontal cortex isn't 58 00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:23.040 fully developed. And we have oh, at eighteen you could 59 00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.560 start voting. It's like, wait, are we an adult at sixteen? 60 00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:28.959 When we could start driving at eighteen? When we could 61 00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:34.639 start voting at twenty one, when we could start drinking 62 00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:38.519 at twenty five? We could rent a car. I mean, listen, 63 00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:40.879 let's just make it you're an adult at twenty one 64 00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:44.199 for everything. It's very confusing. Nobody should drive to the 65 00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:47.639 twenty one, nobody should vote to the twenty one. Nobody 66 00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:49.959 should drink till their twenty one. Just keep it simple. 67 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:55.079 That makes you an adult, all right. Nobody should smoke cigarettes, 68 00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:59.560 you know, buy vabes, hook whatever these kids do. You know, 69 00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:04.800 it's bad. You're not making the right decisions when you're younger, 70 00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:09.279 and if your brain's not fully developed, it's a bigger consequence. 71 00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:14.920 And we have May being Mental Awareness Month. Let's do 72 00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:21.319 stuff to get our brain stronger. Let's improve our mental status. 73 00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:27.920 And it starts with the technology. Those cell phones are dangerous. 74 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:35.560 People are addicted to it. They want that text message 75 00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:39.519 response right away. Well, when you post something on Facebook 76 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:43.279 or Instagram or TikTok or snapchat, you want somebody to 77 00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:47.399 respond to like it, to comment, you know, you need 78 00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:52.399 that feedback. And when people don't respond, you get depressed. 79 00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:56.360 You get anxious. When they do respond or comment or 80 00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:59.160 like or love ooh, it's like I hit a dope 81 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:02.079 means like take a line of cocaine or shooting up 82 00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:06.360 heroin or taking a shot at the bar. You're getting 83 00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:12.079 that same hit. It's dopamine. We're always looking for that dopamine. 84 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.560 But do it in a more natural way. Celebrate a 85 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:30.560 small task. Do a checklist, reward yourself, checklist, little things, 86 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:34.959 clean my closet. Boom, you get a little dopamine. Hit 87 00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:39.519 clean my trunk of my car. Boom, get a dopamine hit. 88 00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:47.800 Oh I gotta you know, go shopping and order five 89 00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:54.959 things online. Boom, checklist, checkless, checklist, dopamine, dopamine, dopamine. Do 90 00:06:55.160 --> 00:07:00.319 good things, not the technology, not the cell phones, not 91 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:06.839 social media. What do people post on social media their vacations, 92 00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:11.519 when they're all dressed up for the big gala, when 93 00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:15.839 they get into college, when they get an award. They 94 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:22.240 always post things that are good. Nobody's posting stuff that's 95 00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:27.079 bad or very rarely people do you know? People don't say, 96 00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:31.680 Oh I lost my job, Oh I'm sick. Oh I 97 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:36.720 have no friends, Oh I'm a loser, Oh I don't 98 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:43.600 have any money. You know, nobody posts that, Oh I 99 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.079 got into a fight with my wife. Oh I hate 100 00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:52.000 my boss, Oh I don't like my house. Don't they 101 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:55.959 don't tell you the bad things, tell you the good things. 102 00:07:55.959 --> 00:08:00.240 So then when other people are looking at it, like, Wow, 103 00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:03.759 this person's got a great house, a great life, hot life, 104 00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:08.279 always on vacasion, so much money, fancy dinners, fancy clothes. 105 00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:11.759 Look at they're all made up, going to these great places, 106 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:17.680 and then you get depressed. Don't ever compare yourself to 107 00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:23.519 other people. Only compare yourself to you. So you want 108 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:29.000 to say, hey, can Jane Doe be better than Jane Doe? Right? 109 00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:32.399 Can I be better in May than it was in April? 110 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.759 I'm just gonna compare myself to myself. There's always going 111 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:41.320 to be people that are stronger than me. And I 112 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:43.360 go to the gym, I don't want to compare myself 113 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:45.720 to other people. There's guys that are much stronger than me, 114 00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:48.679 there's girls that are much stronger than me. So I 115 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:51.799 don't want to compare myself. I want to just say, hey, 116 00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:55.759 can I lift more in May than I did in April? 117 00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:58.240 Can I get stronger? Can I do more reps? Can 118 00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:01.120 I lift heavier weights? Can I run a faster mile? 119 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:06.360 Whatever it is? Let me improve my workout, let me 120 00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:12.519 make progress. The key to depression is progression. We got 121 00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:14.720 to get rid of this depression. So we have to 122 00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:21.759 make progression. Make progression in your spirituality. Start praying more, 123 00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:27.799 go to church more, follow the Ten Commandments more, read 124 00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:32.240 the Bible or the Tora more. Just make progress. Be 125 00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:36.000 better in May than you were in April. Get better sleep, 126 00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:39.240 go to bed a little bit earlier, Drink more water, 127 00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:47.120 do more exercise, give more to charity, make more money, 128 00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:52.240 read more books. Be nicer to your spouse or your kids. 129 00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:59.200 You just got to make progression. You make progression in 130 00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:02.039 the new book, your writing, or you know, whatever task 131 00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:07.440 you have, make some progression. The key to depression is progression. 132 00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:16.120 The key to anxiety is distraction. You gotta distract yourself. 133 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:18.440 So you're just feeling anxious. If you're on Facebook and 134 00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:21.840 you're like, oh man, you know, I have this thing 135 00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:24.559 I'm worried about coming up. Okay, turn off the computer, 136 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:27.639 leave the room, go to the kitchen, drink a glass 137 00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:31.159 of water, leave the house, take a walk, go into 138 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:35.200 the living room, put on some music, start dancing, Call 139 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:40.639 an old friend, just do something something you know. I 140 00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:44.080 don't care if it's taking a shower, playing with your dog, 141 00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:50.240 but don't say all right, relax, breathe, calm down. Everything's 142 00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:52.840 gonna be all right now. When you have anxious anxiety, 143 00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:58.039 distraction is the key. Leave the room, give yourself something 144 00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:00.840 else to do. Now, if you're having a panic, you're 145 00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:04.799 having heart palpitations. The neuroscience has showed dipping your head 146 00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:08.639 in a bucket of ice water that's fifty degrees fahrenheit 147 00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:14.720 will actually relax your overactive heart. It's called tachycardia. Your 148 00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:17.080 heartbeat's going fast because you're in panic mode. You're in 149 00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:21.480 stress mode, so we cool you down. Ice water on 150 00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:26.960 your face will bring down your heart rate immediately. But 151 00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:31.039 you gotta do distraction. So the key to depression is progression. 152 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:37.919 The key to anxiety is distraction, and it starts from unplugging. 153 00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:41.519 No Wi Fi, no five G get off your cellphone, 154 00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:44.039 get off the TV, get off the computer.

Time life is, good, Right so we 237 00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:58.839 have to understand that we don't need to take a 238 00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:02.960 medication every time he gets. Sad you, KNOW i had 239 00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:10.440 a my wife lost her, father and it's like the doctor, goes, 240 00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:16.759 oh take. Antidepressants, now you're supposed to be sad when 241 00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:20.440 you lose your. Father you're supposed to, Cry you're supposed 242 00:18:20.440 --> 00:18:24.359 to be. Emotional you don't want to suppress those. Feelings 243 00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:26.640 you don't want to shut off your, brain because that's 244 00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:32.160 what antidepressants. Do they shut your brain off and become a. 245 00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:37.359 Zombie so maybe you're not as, sad maybe you don't 246 00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:43.559 have as much. Hopelessness but guess, what maybe now you've 247 00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:51.880 lost some. Joy maybe you've lost some, happiness maybe you've 248 00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:56.759 lost some, energy maybe you've lost some passion for. Life 249 00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:01.839 because it shuts off. EVERYTHING i don't want to take 250 00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:05.640 a drug that shuts off. Everything but if we have 251 00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:11.920 a strategy that says my area in my frontal cortex 252 00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:18.680 is underactive and that's causing, depression MAYBE i can strengthen. 253 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:25.559 That so there is a process called, neuroplasticity and what 254 00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:30.920 neuroplasticity is is you could rewire your. Brain so if 255 00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:37.079 you have, depression the key is. Progression in addition to making, 256 00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:41.039 progression we want to focus on the specific areas of 257 00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:45.440 the brain that aren't functioning at optimal. Levels and for, 258 00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:49.039 depression it could be your frontal, cortex or it could 259 00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:55.599 be your. Cerebellum maybe you have a thyroid, problem maybe 260 00:19:55.680 --> 00:20:01.000 you have a leaky, gut maybe you have lime, disease 261 00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:07.920 heavy metal, POISONING covid nineteen can cause. Depression all of 262 00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:13.319 these things can cause, depression traumatic brain, Injury. Parkinson's so 263 00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:16.640 we got to figure out where's the. Problem is the 264 00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:19.160 front door that's our bello on the basal. Ganglia we don't, 265 00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:22.000 know could be the autonomic nervous, system because not all 266 00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:25.319 depression patients are the. Same so we've got to do 267 00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:29.759 a full, evaluation determine which air the brain is functioning 268 00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:35.759 well or there might be. Anxiety the brain's overactive and 269 00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:40.960 that creates more, anger, aggression panic, minds, racing can't, sleep, 270 00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:49.119 INSOMNIA i had heart, palpitations respiratory. Problems if that's the, 271 00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:51.680 case we got to calm the brain. Down it might 272 00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:53.440 be the right, side it might be the left. Side 273 00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:59.599 how can you calm the brain? Down maybe, ice ice 274 00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:04.000 calm you, Down maybe some, drawing some infinities with your, 275 00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:08.079 Arm maybe rubbing a triggers part of your. Ear there's 276 00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:11.880 lots of ways to common overactive nervous. System, now the 277 00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:14.559 neuroscience has been done for the past decades and now 278 00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:18.119 we got thousands of. Things we have thousands of neurologic 279 00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:20.759 exercise that could stimulate the brain to help with depression 280 00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:25.160 in a natural way without any, medication, drugs supplements that 281 00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:28.839 have side effects or, risk or we could come up 282 00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:32.039 with exercise to relax the overactive brain if you have. 283 00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:37.160 Anxiety the neuroscience is, there we just got to read 284 00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:40.359 it and utilize. It but the first step is to 285 00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:45.200 figure out which areas are overactive and which areas are. 286 00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:50.519 Underactive the number one best test to determine this is 287 00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:56.559 called A vng or A. Vog THIS vng is the 288 00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:00.240 cool test because there's no. Radiation you don't have to 289 00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:04.400 lie down in some small, tube there's no, risk you, 290 00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:08.319 know to take some contrast. Fluid we get the results right. 291 00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:13.079 Away we don't need a pathologist or you, know AN 292 00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:18.559 x ray technician or a radiologist to determine what's. Wrong 293 00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:21.480 we literally do the tests and we get the answer right. 294 00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:26.200 Away very cool. Technology what it is is you wear 295 00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:29.519 these goggles and they got cameras in them with infrared 296 00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:33.119 sensors and they measure high, movements the, speed how fast it, 297 00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:36.759 goes the reaction, time the. Accuracy we measure when it 298 00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:39.480 goes fast and slow and left and right and up 299 00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:42.000 and down and then light and the, dark and when 300 00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:44.839 focused and without, focus and when head movements and still 301 00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:49.160 so all these different, tests lots of different, tests and 302 00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:51.960 based on the, test we can determine which lobe of 303 00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:55.079 the brain's not working, well which airs the brain are. 304 00:22:55.279 --> 00:23:01.599 OVERWORKING i love this.
