  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " 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. "

    " 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. "
