For centuries the human adult brain has been thought to be incapable of fundamental change. Now the discovery and growing awareness of neuroplasticity has revolutionized our understanding of the brain—and has opened the door to new treatments and potential cures for many diseases and disorders once thought incurable. In recent years, we’ve built on our knowledge that our brains are constantly changing their structure and function and that the adult brain is not “hard-wired” but plastic—always changing.

CHANGING YOUR MIND, is based on the best-selling book by Toronto psychiatrist and researcher Dr. Norman Doidge. Dr. Doidge takes us through some very compelling neurological cases to illustrate how the changing brain plays an important role in treating mental diseases and disorders.

We explore the latest research that is offering hope to those suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and even schizophrenia.
