For years, Brenden had been yelling at his wife Natasha, pushing her face during arguments, picking fights, and making threats. But it turns out, there was something deeper going on – something inside his brain.
After eight years of marriage, Natasha finally reached a point where she couldn’t take it anymore. She reached out to Dr Phil for help, hoping to understand what was really causing Brenden’s anger issues.
“I’m hoping for some type of outcome for me and my family,”
Dr Bradley Jabour, a top neuroradiologist known worldwide, stepped in to conduct brain scans and explained what he was looking for in the results.
“Brendan, this next scan will be four minutes tomorrow with Dr Phil. We’ll have all the data together, and we’ll be able to analyze and provide him with some road map as to what possibly could help.”
“I was surprised, you know, in talking to Brenden initially, and he mentioned that he had never had any experience of an impactful head trauma,”
“And we see evidence that looks like at some point somewhere, somebody should sit with Brenden and try and find out, when did he get a hit on the head or knocked unconscious, possibly something that maybe he doesn’t remember, but it probably did happen, because there’s several of these areas of gliosis were scar tissue.”
“I’m not sure if you can tie in the anger issues with a particular moment in his life, or has he always been angry, even as a 12, 13, 15-year-old?”
When Dr Phil asked whether the scan results were considered out of the ordinary, Jabour confirmed: “Abnormal? Yes.”
