The Root Cause of Brain Disease #shorts #cognitivehealth

There's a million reasons why you could have a headache. Headache just means my head hurts, right? And so the same thing with depression or ADHD or dementia, we have to really start to look at the personalization of healthcare and the individualization of our treatments that address the root cause or causes.

We need a paradigm shift. If you improve the biology of the brain, your cognitive performance improves. And so the question is not for us to put a label on patients and say, you, have this and that. The challenge for us is to figure out Why aren't you paying attention? For some people, sleep apnea, for some people, headaches. Some people have so much headaches that they can't pay attention. They're tired, they're irritable because they're frustrated, they're driving, wears them out. They can't sleep at night, they're sleep deprived, the headache is worse, they get into fights. It's not because they have Alzheimer's or they have ADHD. It's because their migraine is not completely treated. Diet, exercise, sleep, and stress reduction. These four things seem to help this group of patients with different presenting symptoms.
