I'm finishing one of Daniel Amen's book and looked at another (they are all similar). His theory is the only thing that makes sense regarding mental health in my family. We all have multiple confusing issues that is next to impossible to classify using conventional psychiatry.
Right now, I'm serious considering SPECT brain scan at his clinic. Yes, it's expensive (about $4000), but wasted as much or more over many years on various drugs, treatments, and supplements that didn't quite work well. This guy is criticized for making a buck for his talent and discovery. If he was in academia and published the results in peer reviewed papers, he would be probably an acclaimed expert by now and maybe even a Nobelist material (this approach is revolutionizing psychiatry).
The other controversy is radiation dose, but according to my findings, it's comparable to abdominal CT. Here is more info:https://www.mayoclin...t/pac-20384925
Ideally, fMRI would be better, but I'm not aware of use of that outside research in psychiatry.
On the other hand, the read of his book gives me some good ideas how my scan may look based on various symptoms. I may as well do a combination treatment fist on myself to see how it goes.
