Dr. Henderson will help you rethink brain disorders like depression and brain injury and introduce you to exciting new treatments which actually activate the brain’s own healing process. Deftly combining brain science with unforgettable case histories, I will explain exactly how the brain changes as a result of depression, traumatic brain injury, Long COVID, chronic fatigue syndrome, and other brain disorders. Gone are the daily antidepressants pills. Gone are the chemical imbalance theories. Gone are the recommendations to accept a disability. I will introduce your audience to revolutionary new treatments that activate the brain’s own ability to repair itself. Whether discussing ketamine and the miraculous way in which it actually works (having nothing to do with hallucinating) or describing multi-watt infrared laser therapy, I can explain these complex scientific concepts in easily understood terms. I take a sometimes poignant, sometimes gritty, no-holds barred, real-world look brain disorders. Imagine introducing your audiences to concepts like viruses in the brain can cause depression and chronic fatigue or that light can actually help heal the brain! I will shake up everyone’s way of seeing psychiatry and medicine. With a background in neuroimaging, I can help people make sense of the controversies around SPECT brain imaging. Having started life on the edge of poverty and experienced my own childhood neglect and abuse, I can address the role of trauma and its effects on children and adults. My recently published book, Brighter Days Ahead – Leaving Depression Behind Through Innovative New Treatments, is an excellent and readable introduction to these concepts.
