Send us Fan MailWhat if we're trying to solve a mental health crisis without fully addressing the health of the brain?In this solo episode of Broken Brains, Bruce Parkman examines repetitive brain trauma, its potential relationship with mental health, and why better diagnosis, treatment, research, and public awareness are urgently needed.From veterans exposed to blasts to athletes experiencing thousands of repetitive head impacts, Bruce explores the limitations of current approaches and emerging areas of treatment, including non-invasive brain stimulation and psychedelic-assisted therapies. He also makes the case that improving brain health could have implications far beyond individual patients—potentially affecting families, communities, and broader societal challenges. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Podcasts  📲 Be sure to follow, share, like, and subscribe to support brain health awareness and bring real treatments to those who need them most. Broken Brains with Bruce Parkman is sponsored by The Mac Parkman FoundationSupport The Mac Parkman Foundation by donating today!https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=CR24MY2GDUCZL CLICK HERE TO DONATE NOW! https://www.mpfact.com/headsmart-app/ Chapters00:00 — The Repetitive Brain Trauma Crisis 01:00 — How Brain Injuries Impact Society 01:59 — The Overlooked Cost of Brain Trauma 02:55 — Why We Still Know So Little About the Brain 03:53 — Where Current Brain Injury Treatments Fall Short 04:52 — Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation & Emerging Treatments 10:00 — Psychedelics, Neuroplasticity & Brain Recovery 11:55 — Treatment Barriers & Policy Reform 14:47 — Why Brain Health Is a Societal Issue 17:11 — Awareness, Education & Action Brain Health Golf Openhttps://givebutter.com/brain-health-golf-open-5vzj5v 3rd Annual International Summit on Repetitive Brain Traumahttps://givebutter.com/brain-health-golf-open-5vzj5v  Support Broken BrainsBroken Brains with Bruce Parkman is sponsored by the Mac Parkman Foundation.Mac Parkman FoundationDonate to the Mac Parkman FoundationProduced by Security Halt Media
