Douglas Star spent decades seeking treatment for depression and bipolar symptoms. Then when he came to Amen Clinics, his brain SPECT scan yielded some surprising information about his symptoms.

Doug was in his 50s when he saw a public television special about Dr. Daniel Amen's work. Doug had a personal interest in the matter because of his own struggle with bipolar symptoms.

"My Mom tried to diagnose me when I was young," Doug explained. They did seek professional help. But for Doug, that led to a decades-long roller coaster of taking medications and then ceasing them. "Once I felt better, I'd stop," he said. That inevitably led to a crash. A talented musician, whenever Doug went into a low, he quit composing, had suicidal thoughts, and self-medicated with drugs and alcohol.

It was during a manic high that Doug decided to try to find Amen Clinics. He didn't want to crash again and was tired of self-medicating with alcohol. He immediately sought an evaluation.

Brain SPECT Scan Research and Treatment Innovation Yield Real Improvement for "Treatment Resistant" depression and bipolar symptoms.

75 million Americans have or will experience depression or anxiety at some point in their lives. The causes are wide-ranging, from chemical imbalance to brain injury to traumatic events. Only very personalized diagnosis and care can yield life-altering results.

Dr. Amen's leading-edge brain research has found there are actually 7 types of Anxiety and Depression, but frequently-prescribed SSRI medications are ideal only for one type. For many depression cases, SSRIs can make symptoms worse. At Amen Clinics, we have pioneered innovative mood disorder treatments that are highly successful. In fact, Amen Clinics' outcome scores are higher than any other psychiatric clinic in the U.S.
