Is it right that your clinics have got the world's largest database of brain scans for psychiatry? Yes. Two nearly a quarter of a million spec scans. More. Yeah.

How does that level of data and information change the way that you approach mental health treatment? Changes everything. Most psychiatric problems are not mental health issues. their brain health issues. Get your brain healthy and your mind will follow.

And when I first got scanned, ultimately it changed everything in my life. Changes the time I go to bed, changes what I eat, changes how I think about other people. It was liberating because it took psychiatry, which I think many people would agree is a soft science, in that it's the only medical profession that virtually never looks at the organ it treats. And it turns it into hard science because now I have data on your brain and I'm going to make it better, right?
