What are the brain types according to Dr. Amen?

Dr. Daniel Amen is a psychiatrist and brain imaging expert who has identified five primary brain types: balanced, spontaneous, persistent, sensitive, and cautious. He believes that these brain types can influence a person's personality, behavior, and how they respond to stress.

Balanced brain

People with a balanced brain have healthy levels of activity in all areas of the brain. They are typically calm, focused, and good at managing stress. They are also good at planning and organizing, and they tend to be successful in their careers.

Spontaneous brain

People with a spontaneous brain have lower activity in the frontal lobes of the brain, which are responsible for planning and decision-making. They are often impulsive and creative, and they may have difficulty with organization and time management. They may also be more likely to take risks.

Persistent brain

People with a persistent brain have higher activity in the frontal lobes of the brain. They are often driven and focused, and they may have difficulty relaxing. They may also be more likely to experience anxiety or perfectionism.

Sensitive brain

People with a sensitive brain have higher activity in the limbic system, which is responsible for emotions. They are often empathetic and compassionate, but they may also be more likely to experience anxiety, depression, or mood swings.

Cautious brain

People with a cautious brain have lower activity in the limbic system. They are often reserved and cautious, and they may have difficulty taking risks. They may also be more likely to experience anxiety or depression.

It is important to note that these are just general descriptions, and not everyone will fit neatly into one category. Many people have a combination of brain types. Dr. Amen's work can help us to understand our own brains better and to make choices that will support our overall health and well-being.
