Not covered by my insurance, which is good (Pacificare). Believe they are around $2,000. The therapist I am seeing swears by them, saying they have been accurate in helping one hundred percent of her patients. She sent me to a psychiatrist who also believes strongly in them. I'm more of the mind that I can just experiment with meds on my own
rather than pay the money and inject myself with a radioactive isotope to get the brain pics. I don't know though. I just wanted to know if anyone here had gotten a positive diagnosis via a SPECT scan.Chris
