What happens when brain injuries go untreated? In this episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen sit down with filmmaker Jerri Sher to uncover the often overlooked dangers of ignoring brain injuries. The conversation takes a deep dive into how undiagnosed brain injuries can lead to severe consequences like drug addiction and homelessness. They shed light on the importance of gray matter in diagnosing these injuries and how it affects cognitive function and memory.
