Summary: An amzaing resource
Comment: This book gives a remarkable overview of how and where certain disorders, like ADHD or anxiety, are manifested in the brain. It helps you understand that these disorders are biological; they are not all in your head as it were. For ADHD and other disorders, it gives excellent ideas to help re-train the brain as well as prescriptions like medicines, supplements, diet, exercise and other steps you can take to help re-train your brain. And it works.

Summary: Symptom vs Causalilty: Modes of Treatment
Comment: What comes first the chicken or the egg? If diagnoses is helped fine but only for confirmation of diagnoses. Behavior remains the primary focus of diagnoses. A lot of interpretation borders on subjectivity and cannot replace experience. Ongoing research may indicate that psychological testing is just a valid and reliable or perhaps more so. Availability and standards of practice are involved. Hopefully a tool for cases that cannot be resolved otherwise.

Summary: Not exactly what I expected.
Comment: The claim that this book makes is a little misleading. Sure, the book itself was very informative about the physiology of each part of the brain and their functions. But the suggestions on how to regulate these brain functions were not life changing. 80% of the book was one story after another after another about how Dr. Amen saw a patient, preformed a SPECT study to diagnose their problem. Don't get me wrong, I believe in the validity of these studies and think SPECT studies should gain more credibility, but then all his patients were ultimately prescribed medication for their issues. How does this help me as the reader?
Take the insight you learned about each section of the brain, and use this book as just a stepping stone to finding the answers you're searching for.

Summary: CHANGE YOUR BRAIN CHANGE YOUR LIFE
Comment: I found this book helpful in understanding the functions of the different areas of the brain and the causes behind the effects of a malfunctioning brain. Not only did it give causes and effects but remedies to change these difficulties into positive solutions bringing a healthy approach to healing, increased function and over-all improvement in quality of life! If anyone you know demonstrates anxiety, depression, obsessiveness,(eating disorders, etc.) anger, or impulsivity, this is a must read! Not only is there light at the end of the tunnel. . . you can be guaranteed to get out of the tunnel once and for all!

Summary: getting unstuck
Comment: Dr. Oz is about as real as it gets. Despite a Masters in Human Behavior and my life-long search to understand my mood swings and how to handle life as it comes, I am once again energized and hopeful that there might be a biopharmacological reason for the unexpected and unwelcome bouts of immobilizing depression that I have struggled with for over 60+ years. I have had little or no success with traditional talk therapy and physician prescribed anti-depressants. I am determined to seek out a "Specto" image of my brain to determine the best course of treatment for a burden that has severely impacted my own and the lives of my family and friends.
