Odette Annable: On Perfectionism & the Pressure to Hold It All Together

from Change Your Brain Every Day

Actress and mom Odette Annable sits down with Dr. Daniel Amen for a raw look inside her brain scan—and what it reveals about her struggles with ADHD, perfectionism, criticism, and the pressure to be "the strong one." Odette shares what it's like to feel hyper-productive yet scattered, zigzagging through her day only to end up frustrated—like there's a cap on her potential she can't break through. From growing up in pageants to navigating marriage and parenting a child with ADHD, Odette shares how her brain wiring fuels reactivity, stress, and self-doubt—and what she's learning to do differently to create a healthier brain and a stronger family.
