Synopsis

Dr. Amen has pioneered the clinical use of brain SPECT imaging in psychiatry. His clinics' signature brain scans have discovered that the illnesses of anxiety and depression are, in large part, the result of brain dysfunction. Scans have also determined that anxiety and depression often occur together, and there are seven distinct types of disorders. HEALING ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION reveals the major anxiety and depression centers of the brain and offers guidelines and tools to determine the specific type of anxiety and depression from which one suffers, and providing a comprehensive program for treating each type. This is a groundbreaking guide to conquering these devastating disorders.

It really helped me to see the organic side of the disorders, and to wash off the stigma of disorder having to do with personality (which it does, but personality, again, is organic too). A recommended read.......more

Goodreads review by Assja on August 12, 2023

It is interesting that the Doc’s last name is Amen. The whole time I was reading this was like “Amen.” It gave me an insight about the many types of anxiety and depression and why certain meds work immediately. The other noteworthy page of this book is PG.187 “always thinking”. I like that the Doc i......more
