Doctor & Therapist To The Worlds Superstars: Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Bella Hadid! - Daniel Amen
Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Bella Hadid, Daniel Amen, Dr. Eamon
Dr. Daniel Amen is leading a movement to redefine mental health as brain health, utilizing SPECT brain imaging to identify physical causes for psychiatric conditions across over 230,000 clinical cases involving high-profile figures and NFL players.
