The brain is a difficult organ to diagnose. Without the proper data, you can't really know what's going on inside your head. That's why everything from emotional disorders, to brain injuries are misdiagnosed so frequently. That's why one patient turned to more innovative medicine to determine the real problems.

A big part of the reason that the brain is so hard to diagnose, is simply that it's difficult to paint a picture of what's going on inside your head. Without actually looking at what's happening inside of course.

Amen Clinics like to employ the SPECT scan to figure out how your mind works. This is a special type of scan that's almost like an x-ray, but specifically for your brain. It utilizes the ability to take a series of two dimensional images, to then form one three dimensional image.

Plus, because they are individual images being taken, doctors are able to look at a cross section of any individual part of the brain. Meaning more accuracy, and they are able to look more in depth into what's going on within your brain.

But the other benefit is seeing the brain in motion. This scan is unique for allowing doctors to pinpoint things like blood flow. This way they're literally able to determine how your brain functions in motion. Thereby determining whether or not an individual part of the brain is misfiring.

Dr. Daniel Amen shows through his data that they are able to diagnose patients much more accurately than hospitals. Because Sandy Springs News practices more specialized medicine, the doctors on staff here have a much greater success rating.

Through specialized medicine they increase patient approval rating as well. Patients of these clinics tend to be more happy with their treatment, as well as their diagnosis. Adding to the effectiveness of Dr. Daniel Amen's method.

Just realize that brain scans don't always tell the whole story. While these clinics are a lot more accurate, sometimes there is still a little bit of testing to see how certain drugs respond. We don't have the brain down to an exact science yet, so trial and error is to be expected.
