In reply to SPECT Scans - Amen Clinic, posted by gadu on January 11, 2011, at 23:29:59
from my experience spect scans haven't helped me diagnostically but I've never been to the amen clinic.I have however had pet scans, functional mri's and a slew of other brain imaging hoohaw from some of the major intitutions in the country.
The Amen Clinic is known (for better or worse) but it seems like the best treatment is more dependent on finding the right medication then somebody telling you what you already know-that you are depressed, and here is the brain scan to prove it, or whatever your respective condition is.
Just from personal experience would suggest spending that money on a really top diagnostician and not make brain scanning the criteria. But if you have the money to do both there certainly is no harm in it.
