Dr. Daniel Amen | Club Random with Bill Maher

Dr. Daniel Amen joins Bill Maher to talk brains—what they reveal about us, how badly we may be treating them, and why psychiatry is the only medical field that rarely looks at the organ it’s treating.

Amen shares what he learned from treating Muhammad Ali and hundreds of NFL players, why he believes damaged brains can get better, and the everyday things we do that can either strengthen or shrink them. He and Bill go back and forth on marijuana, alcohol, meditation, Alzheimer’s, and the eternal question: how healthy do you really want to be if it means giving up everything fun?

They also get into what’s happening to young people, from social media and pornography to anxiety and depression—and why learning not to believe every thought that pops into your head might be one of the most useful skills nobody teaches us.

And somehow, by the end of it, Bill agrees to let Amen scan his brain. Now the question is: does he actually want to know what’s in there?
