Healing Anxiety and Depression

Product Description:
Daniel G. Amen, M.D., has pioneered the clinical use of brain SPECT imaging (one of medicine's most sophisticated functional brain-imaging studies) in psychiatry. The Amen Clinics' signature brain scans have discovered that the illnesses of anxiety and depression are, in large part, the result of brain dysfunction. Additionally, they have determined that not only do anxiety and depression often occur together, here are seven distinct types of the disorders.

Healing Anxiety and Depression reveals the major anxiety and depression centers of the brain; offers guidelines and diagnostic tools to determine the specific type of anxiety and depression; and provides a comprehensive program for treating each type. The treatment includes medication, diet, supplements, exercise, and social and therapeutic support.

Based on new brain science, Healing Anxiety and Depression is a groundbreaking, practical guide to conquering these potentially devastating disorders.

Rating: - great book;really works
This is good . I am an MD and it is clear that depression and anxiety are not 1 or 2 "pure" illnesses. He presents 7 types. "type 7" describes me almost exactly. Provigil (one he recommends for this type in an update on his website)works well for me, and the supplements (fish oil, tyrosine, phenylalanine, and SAM-e) work quite well as an additive effect. Valerian helps greatly with residual anxiety, and the GABA/glutamine combo help greatly with insomnia. Downside is these cost a lot and its lots ... Read More
Rating: - Dense, Informative & Caring
Before beginning, I need to express my personal opinions regarding the use of medications to "treat" emotional issues. One would hope that drugs would only be used as a last resort, and not as the go-to strategy, especially with emotional issues.

It's very common to go with meds more quickly when dealing with the personality disorders, ... Read More
Rating: - Cheap advertisement for the Amen Clinic
The book reads like a pamphlet advertising the Amen Clinics.At the Amen Clinics this and at the Amen Clinics that, give me a break.This guy can't go half a page without tooting his own horn.You would think that everywhere except the Amen Clinics, the treatment of mental disorders is by witch doctors and alchemists.The books makes a big deal about the use of brain scanning and how this is such a big advantage for their clinic.They shame insurance companies for not reimbursing payment and other ...

Rating: - Decent Material For Beginners
I had knowledge on this subject for years, so most of the material written in this book was mainly old news to me.Most of the material in this book is an overview of the disorders and a lot of pics of brain scans.(Including before and after shots)There is a lot of talk about medication as well and different categories of antidepressants. Honestly there isn't that much extra material that books like "Don't Panic" doesn't cover (although this book isn't as dry as "Don't Panic").If you are new to all ... Read More
