A woman comes to me and she's having panic attacks. She has B12 deficiency. I give her injection. With the first injection, her panic is gone. And I'm like, oh my God, what else am I missing?

Today's guest is Dr. Robert Hadea, a true pioneer in functional psychiatry, and has been doing this work for more than 46 years, helping people with some of the most complex and treatment resistant cases. Now psychiatrists are looking at the brain, doing imaging, doing something called QEEG, which is like a brainwave test that maps out things that we never saw before and that we're now making sense of. Talk about some of your more recent work around the whole adoption of this technology of improving neuropsychiatric treatment with QEEGs.

What is it? Why do we use it? We can follow and detect the information flow patterns in the brain. So we can see this and study a person's brain and then correlate with the symptoms.
