Finding a way to have a normal life with a disability can be difficult. Especially if it's a disability that's difficult to diagnose. Something with the brain is almost always going to be impossible for you to properly diagnose because it's a complicated organ. Luckily, Amen Clinics helped me diagnose my brain injury.
Getting to know how Dr. Daniel Amen actually diagnoses his patients was really interesting. Mainly because he employs radically different techniques than most other people would attempt. Including the use of the complicated but useful SPECT scan.
What I found when I was treated by the full book was that they took a picture of my entire brain. Some kind of special photon rays or something, that allow them to look inside. Sort of like an X-Ray but with more information and a more in depth process.
This sort of scan is pretty revolutionary. Mainly because you look at the brain while it's working. The pictures constantly update, and doctors can look at what your brain is doing while you're active in the machine.
Dr. Amen is dedicated to more accurate diagnostic work. Too many hospitals are a little bit complacent. That can lead to long years of treatment, and having to go through unnecessary procedures. That's what I had to deal with, and none of it really helped.
You have to remember that Amen Clinics don't provide an instant cure. They are going to be able to diagnose you better, but healing is still down to the doctors. They are just able to heal more effectively because of the better diagnosis.
Unfortunately I still battle with the problem all the time. It's one that's never really curable, but is more so treatable. That's why I still go, but I enjoy my time there. My doctors have been working to make me better, instead of using me as a drug guinea pig.
What you have to realize in the end is that treatment is always going to take a lot of time. Even with the best possible doctors, when you have a brain injury like mine, it was always going to be a long road. They just made sure I was taking the right road out, instead of just trying to point me in the right direction.
