If you started using drugs when you were 14 and you didn't stop until you're 24, emotionally you're still 14, but your brain has not fully developed.
Why are so many high school students struggling with drug abuse and suicide? In this episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen tackle this heart-wrenching issue head-on. They dive into the unsettling connection between high school football, drug addiction, and mental health crises among teens.
The Amens don't just stop at identifying the problems; they also offer practical advice on how to protect young brains from the damaging effects of contact sports and substance abuse. They stress the importance of 'brain envy'—encouraging kids to love and care for their brains as much as they do their physical health. This episode is a must-listen for parents, educators, and anyone concerned about the well-being of today's youth. With a blend of science, empathy, and actionable steps, Dr.
Daniel and Tana Amen provide a roadmap for fostering a healthier, more informed generation.
