Firstly, there is no evidence showing that mental disorders can be solely diagnosed from a spect scan. Also, insurance doesn’t even cover this scan, because they have no proof it can be used for these types of diagnoses. Also, this scumbag will literally peddle a bunch of bs supplements that his wife sells on their website. No psychiatrist who genuinely cares about their patients would charge them 3500 out of pocket for unnecessary radiation and offer them their own supplement line

True, and generally you should do a full body scan every 4-5 years, after the age of 40. I've done it a while back and in a way it was amazing, not only seeing inside of your body as such, but also the brain and whole scull, sliced and diced in every possible way. I think I'm going to repeat it soon, but it is definitely worth it and doesn't cost a lot at all (you can use public health service or go private if you want; I think around 2019-2020, it did cost me about 1700 British pounds, for a fully body MRI scan, CT scan, full top level boood test and so on. I had doctors talking to me 20 minutes after the scans, and decribing everything that was seen on the monitors, few hundred slides to go through (pure pros). I only did it because I wanted the results to be done on the same day, otherwide the public health service is good enough too (you just have to wait longer for the results and consultation).

@@RachelCrabtree The problem is that without the symptoms (and the symptom clusters as a way of explaining them) - we have no recognizable disorder. The scan by itself can't tell us anything about the patients symptoms or what disorder they have. His own examples show that patients with different disorders can show different levels of brain activity. The issue is that brain activity does not translate one to one with a particular disorder the way, for example, an ulcer that can be imaged in the stomach, does. It is not surprising that people with various disorders also show an anomaly in brain activity - I don't decry the work, but brain scans at best should be an additional tool to better specify treatment, but can in no way replace symptom based diagnosis and treatment.

Been treated with every single drug from depression to bi-polar... nothing worked! 50 years old now and given Ritalin for ADHD... I hate it! I tried to raise money to go see Dr Amen after I 1st seen this around 7 years ago and was unsuccessful sadly! I would give anything to find out the answer to the problems I deal with and he seems to be the only way. However I csnt afford to get there, for several reasons. I'm surprised and kind of upset I've made it this long honestly. Happy to hear there is someone out there helping others in the right way though.

@ryanwogget2 роки тому
@@serpentines6356 Amen's work lacks evidence that it's more effective than the currently accepted methods for psychiatric diagnosis/treatment (much of which is based on patients' symptoms). He doesn't have randomized, controlled, peer-reviewed studies backing his treatments. He can say, "Oh yeah, we treat loads of people!" and maybe they do, but it's meaningless if he can't actually say that it's better than the traditional way. The traditional way, by the way, doesn't cost nearly as much and is usually paid for by insurance, unlike the treatments that Amen Clinics offers. From what I've gathered, this is why his work isn't generally accepted by (and receives criticism from) the rest of the psychiatric community. There are plenty of websites where you can read about the criticisms of Daniel Amen/Amen Clinics. I'm not a doctor; I'm not the best person to explain it.

15 years ago I had a car accident that resulted in serious brain damage, i was paralyzed and was told i was not gonna read and function again, ten years later i got distinctions in my majors at uni and i have no set backs (physically and mentally). I saw my neuropsychologist last week for the first time in 15 years and when i was speaking to him and he noticed how functioning i am he looked at me like hes seen a ghost. It is very very very very very real how the mind is capable of changing the brain and anything is possible as long as you put in the hard work and believe in your self (fk the haters). the brain is forever reinventing itself and renewing itself and the saying you cant teach an old dog new tricks and becoming slaves to your habits is wrong. I think what society has become is a shame in relation to how much of a lack of an understanding how powerful the brain is and what is possible through hard work because everything is instant and reality has been put into Hollywood movies making us believe these things are not possible in 'real' life.

It was interesting to the eyes but more interesting to the mind. Like looking at a mirror, only seeing my brain. Hard to describe or even think about. They diagnosed me with ADHD. I agreed.. for the first time probably I can see and feel my diagnosis. No more "anxious" or "depressed" or "bipolar". I have attention issues. I'm just me. Which is a relief. I was given an extensive treatment plan and copies of my scans! Following through with it is my job now!! Thanks for following my little journey here.

Dealing with depression and anxiety for over 40 years (symptoms began at age 8), I can't believe that mental health professionals don't do brain scans on everyone who suffers ANY kind of mental illness. He's so on point when he says every other organ or skeletal problem is looked at internally. It's so simple it's almost laughable - but it's so sad. I wonder what he thinks about inheriting mental illness (thanks Dad!)? Why does medication work on some people, but not others?
@bestieswithtestiesРік тому
Brain scans are not cheap. Nor are they something 90% (probably more) of mental health professionals are trained in or have access to the tools to do. That is why they aren't done all the time for everyone. It's just not that easy. It's expensive and requires a doctor who's actually trained in it. As far as medication goes, like he explained in his talk, people can have the exact same symptoms or problems meanwhile what's going on in their brains can be completely different or even opposite of each other. So what one person needs, like a specific medication for example, is not always the same thing that another person needs even if they have the same symptoms.

There are trained radiologists that read said brain scans and maybe in more rural areas it’s less common but for most cities there is at least 1 facility that can do a brain scan. The real problem is that this knowledge needs to be made more widespread to other psychologists or those in training.

My sister (who has frontal temporal dementia) was misdiagnosed initially by a Dr on Zoom. She was described Parkinson's meds and went off her trolly, virtually overnight. It took her saying she knew it was the meds and for her family to believe her, to finally wean her off the bloody toxic things, for her to return to her new normal. Talk about that original Dr throwing darts in the dark. I'll say. He was simply going on symptoms & not taking into account her as an individual. She may have had several similar symptoms to Parkinson's. But in fact she didnt have the disease & those meds exacerbated her condition, and she very nearly had to be institutionalized. It was awful to see her rapid decline and mental confusion. She was terrified at what was happening to her. Her husband & kids stepped in and stopped it, but it should never had happened in the first place. Never!! If only they'd done a scan eh? And this Dr is right.

Looking at a brain will not tell you if a person has a major depressive disorder because major depression is not caused by a brain dysfunction. A tumour in the brain, which can be seen in a SPECT scan, can be the cause of personality changes and behavioral difficulties, but they account for a very small percentage of people with mental illnesses. If every person who turns up in a mental health unit gets scanned, it would be a waste of funds as most mental disorder presentations are not caused by brain tumours.

@@bencabrera9394 Exactly! The meds are in fact not as effective a solution as they make them out to be. SSRIs (antidepressants) are generally effective for 50% remission rate in one out of every 6 or 7 people they are given to. Just under half of those taking SSRIs will be in remission after 6 months. Psychotherapy is on the whole effective for one out of three and has better relapse prevention, but some therapies are even more effective than that (e.g. EMDR for trauma). What about other conditions? Psychotherapy for panic disorder is shown across studies to be more effective than antidepressants or benzodiazepines. Yet if you go to a psychiatrist or an emergency department complaining of panic, you'll be offered medication as the first option.

I worked for someone who worked with and does the same thing Dr Amen does. One of the “brain rehabilitation programs” he’s referring to is called neurofeedback. It is extremely powerful and uses the principle of operant conditioning (similar to Pavlov’s dogs but a bit different) in order to train the brain to heal itself while having a baseline EEG to determine which brain waves are overactive or under active. The training can be paired with nutritional counseling and biofeedback. It’s real and my sister had it done over a period of time and it corrected non-epileptic seizures she was having daily to the point of being seizure-free for 4 years now. Neurofeedback training is getting more popular but is not covered by insurance yet because the government wants to treat symptoms instead of heal. We need lobbying to get the treatment legitimized in the government’s eyes so we can address the insane mental health crisis

The US over invested in CT scanners and underinvested in MRIs. CTs expose you to a lot of radiation, so you can only get them every few years. MRIs in the US are marketed as expensive and reserved for the top consumers, "VIP Patients", as they are called in hospitals. There's also an aspect of the US medical system which bends over backwards to avoid confirming the endemic abuse culture via medical technology. In the US, doctors are class warriors and gatekeepers to people's health and well being; they are a kind of informal judge, jury, and executioner that decide who "deserves" care and who "deserves" to die slow and painful deaths.

Based on dr Amen’s books the main thing is to give supplements ( or medication when the supplements doesn’t give the effect ) after doing a brain scan + other things such as neurofeedback, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, meditation... What dr Amen work is different is that other psychiatrist never look at the brain before giving medication, so for example adderall would make a person A work great while it can make a person B become angry, rigid and commit suicide, while both of them have ADHD. The explanation of this is that when you do brain imaging there’s 7 different causes and different areas that can be responsible for the symptoms of ADHD and thus different types of ADHD. This makes looking at the brain a must to cible the malfunctioning area in the brain because when you don’t see you can take it to a worse situation and unwanted sequels.

At age 7 I had my first traumatic brain injury. a horse stepped on my face blacked out for only a few seconds but I woke up with epilepsy a week later. At 12 I had a radical to right temporal lobectomy to correct the partial seizures. (They took out around one cubic centimeter of temporal tissue nicking the occipital lobe). within about 12 hours of waking up from the medically induced coma after surgery I realized a few things I have a little bit of blindness in the left front corner of my eyes, my head feels funny, and I can't remember anything. I knew who my mother was, I knew how to ride a bike, I could walk (well save the jelly legs from two weeks in a coma). But I didn't know why I liked my mother. I didn't know why I was supposed to be proud of a trophy in my room. I had memory but I didn't have any memories. over the years I found the best way to describe it is like I was watching a movie or reading a book those things happened sure I knew they happened but I didn't feel them they weren't my experiences. fast-forward through 8 years of Messi adolescence where you can't make human connection cuz you don't remember what love was. I was diagnosed with ADHD impulse issues and ODD. I lift up my life with the weird combination of two traumatic brain injuries as well as at least three minor brain injuries or concussions that knocked me out that I'm aware of over the span of about 5 years between ages 15 and 20. but something miraculous happened around age 20/21 I started being able to remember things. Somebody put their finger to their forehead and bow down like a unicorn which was exactly what my elementary school nurse did and all of a sudden after 10 years of no Memories the name Kelly Bamford came to my head all of a sudden I remembered what the nurse's office look like in my elementary school I remember all the funny goofy jokes you used to tell me I remember her being effectively my best friend in elementary school cuz nobody likes the kid with seizures. all the sudden it came flooding back to me and I remember thinking shock and awe that I could remember something I thought all my memories have been physically removed from my skull with that brain surgery my recall was broken not my memories. Fast forward about a year after that and I have another incidents very similar the city-wide parade came around and all of a sudden I remember what middle school me in Middle School best friend did at the fair. I got these flashes of experiences and they felt like they were mine and not just reading from a book. After 10 years with Advanced retrograde amnesia never feeling human and complete because I had zero memories accept 9/11/01 before the age of 12 (and very broken memories from 12-15). My brain healed itself through will and time decent psychotherapy and will I started remembering things that I thought were lost forever. Your brain can and will fix itself if you teach it to and you care for it properly. Edit: I'm 25 now the count is those two major brain injuries and 8 concussions that have knocked me out where I felt symptoms of one example a guy slammed into me with his elbow and a bar and I remained conscious but the left arm from my neck down went numb for 30 minutes and then came back online. I have now been diagnosed with p n e s or psychogenic non-epileptic seizures. basically whenever I get too stressed or too tired or varying degrees of exhausted my brain will just reboot shut down and I'll wakup. Sometimes I can feel them coming on and I can suppress them for up to 5 minutes. other times they happen suddenly and I'm just conscious but on the floor at work and able to move my limbs. The symptom of the seizure is never the same. I'm starting to notice that when I wake up from a reboot something new is happening. A sensory overload button just vanished after the one where I couldn't move my arm. I felt myself grow up emotionally. Like I felt myself catching up to the rest of the class internally, put all that happened in the span of about 15 minutes instead of 5 years. This most recent episode landed me in the ER but I think it also was the last really big bit of emotional healing I needed to be the physical age I'm at now. I'm working on my third language fluency. Also i realize now i have a superpower. I can tell you what part of my brain is lighting up when i focus on thinking. Im a walking spec (assuming its as accurate as it appeaars to be). Typing this infeel it about 2cm above my right ear; inwards about 3cm; forwards 1cm from center line of the ear. Its also feeling right behind my right eyeball but the upper third of thebprbital socket only. Which formulating languageband memory recal is a temporal thing and ptocessing information is a frontal thing so fhat seems to line up. I n ed to memorize the spec scan regions fo thw brain (like broccas region is specific to languages).

I am a retired MRI tdchnologist…..and, usually, if a person was having mental issues, their physician would order an MRI of the brain to look for any physical signs, pathology, that might cause their mental problems…..such as the cyst that this Doc says Andrew had. An MRI scan of the brain should always be part of a psychiatric workup when trying to diagnose mental illness. As should a nutritional workup and questioning of the patient’s physical environment to see if any chemical toxins present that may have caused the mental problem (if it is a fairly sudden onset)

I also TRY to wake up grateful, helps too. Through the years meds never helped, I have seen meds help some people but they just use us like guinea pigs in my opinion. There have been some great breakthroughs, I will admit, it does help to seek help! Even if it's the wrong help. Trail and error, type thing.☹️ It's exhausting.
