" This is the book most often stolen from my office shelf by a colleague. Dr. Daniel Amen sits at the forefront of the SPECT scan work being done to study the likes of ADD, depression, drug abuse, anxiety, etc on the brain. What is most helpful to me about this book is that Dr. Amen is quick to offer other "prescriptions" for the problems mentioned above that do not require medication. This has helped me talk to clients who aren't comfortable with running straight to the psychiatrist. "

" This book helped me to see myself and how my brain really might be causing some of my problems. The great thing about the book is he not only tells you what part of your brain causes what problems but he makes practical suggestions on how you can improve. He is against the legalization of marijuana from seeing brain specs of people who use. So people who say it doesn't hurt you he has the pictures to show what it does. He has this idea he calls ANT ( automatic negative thoughts) and tells you how to stamp those ants out. It has helped me so far that I have tried it. "

" Interesting, Easy to read. Compelling. Dr. Amen has studied brain scans of hundreds of thousands of people and he sees direct correlations between brain scans (showing brain activity and inactivity) and peoples mental, emotional problems, from ADD, depression, drug-use, schizophrenia, brain trauma . . . to whatever. He shows also how these problems have been treated and for the most part cured with a mix of help . . .medication, supplements, neurofeedback, etc. He's a very positive, it-can-work read. I would have given it three stars, but . . . I'm not sure. It's worth reading as part of a complete education on the topic. I plan on reading a lot more. "

" I picked up this book for a couple of reasons. The first is that I'm really interested in brain chemistry and how it affects us. Depression, anxiety and anger are emotions that we all experience from time to time and it's interesting to find out what parts of the brain cause these emotions and how outside chemicals increase these emotions. Second, this book deals with my profession, SPECT and PET imaging so I thought it would enhance my understanding of functional brain imaging. Written very well by a very knowledgable physician. I would like to meet this author and see if he would like to speak at one of our conferences. "

" This book explores the brain in easy to understand language. Good read for anyone dealing with depression or PTSD. "

" The thing that bugs me about Dr. Amen is that I feel like the only way I'll get the help I need is if I go to him and submit to one of his brain scans. :) Still, very informative. The brain is fascinating. "

" I learned more in this book than I did in my psych classes and bio/ anatomy and physiology classes. It all makes sense. 5 put of 5 "

" Excellent reference book. Highly readable. Provides scientific evidence that [ :] anxiety, depression, anger, obsessivenesss, or impulsiveness could be related to how specific structures in your brain work. "

" Maybe it's just me, but I found this book a little too complicated. Too much science not enough practical advice. "

" Yep. Sure. I'm sort of stuck on this new-wave of brain theories. But, this book is probably the least of them. "

" I saw this author on PBS and I was really interested in the subject. Since I am trying to be healthier diabetic, I thought his ideas would help me. Although many of you are young, it is not a bad idea to do some of his suggestions now before old age sets in. The author is a clinical neuroscientist. "

" SPECT - a diagnostic tool. Will most likely be taken totally for granted in the future, but for now it's mostly unheard of. The more accurate the diagnosis - the better the treatment.

" If you like to self-diagnose your own neuroses, as I do, this is quite interesting. I'm going to read Change Your Brain, Change Your Body next. I wish I could give it 3 1/2 stars.
