How The Amen Clinics Method Works
Many “diagnosed” problems receive treatments that can make the problem worse.
Let’s get to the root of the real problem and create a personalized plan for you or your loved one today.
The Amen Clinics Method is a multi-modal approach to treatment that uncovers the root cause of your issues or challenges that are not discovered by traditional psychiatry. We believe it is critical to look at your brain within the context of your life, which includes biological, psychological, social, and spiritual influences. See the full patient journey below.
1
Your Personal History
You’ll meet with one of our Outcome Managers, who will ask about your symptoms. You will discuss the 4 key areas of your life—Biological, Psychological, Social, and Spiritual to how they may impact your symptoms. Your physician will review this important information along with your scans and other assessments as part of your comprehensive evaluation.
2
Brain scans and Assessments
You will get two brain SPECT scans. These will measure blood flow and activity in the brain to help us more accurately diagnose. One study is done while at rest and the second after a concentration task is given. Additional brain mapping and neuropsychological testing is conducted to gain more information about how your brain is working, as well as diagnostic testing to look for biological issues and laboratory testing if needed.
3
Individualized Treatment plan
Your doctor will go over your results with you and provide a personalized treatment plan. Unlike primary care physicians who rush through brief appointments, our doctors spend ample time reviewing the results of your brain scans and clinical assessments, going over your detailed personal history, and dedicating one-on-one face time with you.
4
Follow-ups and Healing
Two to four weeks after your evaluation, you’ll meet with your doctor to review the progress of your treatment program and discuss next steps. You’ll receive a personalized treatment plan, one follow-up appointment, two coaching calls, and lifetime access to our supportive alumni network. Plus, you can stay on track with one year of access to our Brain Fit Life App.
