I wonder if I should even take the time to go there. I highly doubt that I have ADD...most of my trouble has to do with inappropriate mood fluctuation. Antidepressants and stimulants make it *harder* for me to focus and sit still. I was hoping that with a SPECT scan they could tell me why, when I seem to have depression, SSRIs make me so freaky (racing thoughts, inability to focus, mental and physical tics, etc). The web site seemed ADD oriented, but I was hoping they could also treat mood disorders.
> Dr. Amen is the expert on ADD. A person on the ADD list went to get a consult. She found it to be very through, a whole day affair. I think Dr. Amen makes med and treatment recommendations, then you can continue with a local pdoc, based on his recommendations.
