Here are foundational, research-supported tools Dr. Amen often recommends to help the brain manage anxiety:

• Move your body regularly - exercise boosts GABA, supports mood, and reduces stress hormones.

• Practice mindfulness or meditation to calm overactive brain circuits.

• Use specific breathing techniques (like diaphragmatic breathing) to settle the nervous system.

• Prioritize nutrient-dense foods and targeted supplements such as omega-3s to support emotional balance.

• Create a soothing environment with routines that signal safety and stability.

• Journal to process thoughts, reduce mental clutter, and gain clarity.

• Redirect racing thoughts with healthy distraction, grounding, or sensory tools.

To be clear, medication can be life-changing when needed and after exhausting other options.
