LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR BRAIN
Our brain-imaging work has made it clear that “mental health” conditions are actually “brain health” issues. These issues often go undetected or are misdiagnosed, and symptoms can be debilitating for years. Amen Clinics is different because we use a brain-imaging diagnostic tool called SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) to help accurately identify underlying brain issues that can contribute to symptoms. This means you get the right diagnosis and most effective treatment for faster healing. Isn’t it time to start feeling better today?

Why Choose Amen Clinics for BRAIN IMAGING?
Over the past 30-plus years at Amen Clinics, we have built the world’s largest database of brain scans—nearly 300,000 scans and growing—related to emotional, learning, and behavioral problems. We have scanned people across the globe from 9 months old to 105 years old and have helped them with a wide variety of mental health conditions and other cognitive issues. Our decades of experience, in addition to our scientific research on SPECT (over 90 peer-reviewed studies published), guides us in being the best in the world for brain SPECT imaging.
THE ANSWERS YOU WANT
Our comprehensive approach to brain health has shown that psychiatric conditions are not single or simple disorders. They all have multiple types, so the same treatment plan won’t work for everybody, and it could make your symptoms worse. The Amen Clinics Method is different. Our database, nearly 300,000 brain scans, helps us more successfully identify various types of ADHD, anxiety, depression, and many other mental health conditions, so you get the answers you’ve been looking for.
THE OUTCOME YOU DESERVE
At Amen Clinics, we’ve found through over 35 years of practice that seeing your brain is essential for developing your personalized treatment program. As part of a comprehensive evaluation, the brain scans give our physicians additional information to make a clear diagnosis and to find the right solutions for your needs, so you can finally start feeling better.
