Our Story
I’m Dr. Daniel Amen, a child and adult psychiatrist, brain health expert, and 12-time New York Times bestselling author. Over the past 30 years, my team and I at Amen Clinics have helped more than 100,000 patients overcome depression, anxiety, ADHD, memory loss, and many other challenges.
In 2012, I founded Amen University to make the same effective strategies we use in our clinics accessible to everyone, anywhere. Based on decades of brain SPECT imaging research, my online courses provide the tools to help people feel happier, calmer, more focused, and mentally sharper—because better brain health means a better life.
