I think it can help you spend less time tracking down the right therapy for you, but it seems like a lot of folks (myself included) have to go through trial and error. Oh, it'll be great when you can get a medical test to DX bipolar disorder (or whatever), but until then... Sigh.

How was the brain imaging at Amen? I've thought about doing that, but like you said, after $6,000.00 and some visual images, I would probably end up with the same diagnosis on the same meds. I guess the good thing would be being able to see some visual proof versus a doctors guess. But even then, there is still the hit and miss of trying different classes of meds.
