Through our brain imaging work at the Amen Clinics with tens of thousands of patients from all 50 states and 68 countries over the last two decades I have come to see with my own eyes that you can literally change your brain and change your life. This is one of the most exciting advances in medicine, because with a better brain, always comes a better life.
When you do the right things, you make your brain better and improve your life. When you do the wrong things, you hurt your brain and make your life harder. Day-in-and-day-out, you are either helping or hurting your brain.
Amen Clinics is dedicated to improving the lives of the people we serve through education, the latest advances in neuroimaging, and individualized treatment plans. We believe in using the least toxic, most effective treatments for our patients, and use a wide variety of interventions from natural supplements, medications, dietary interventions and targeted forms of psychotherapy.

Nation's Top Psychiatrist Sees Brain Imaging As Future of Psychiatry
The following is a series of quotes about brain imaging from Thomas Insel, MD, PhD, Director of the National Institute of Mental Health, the country’s chief psychiatrist, from a keynote lecture at the American Psychiatric Association’s Annual Meeting in 2005 in Atlanta.
"Brain imaging in clinical practice is the next major advance in psychiatry."
"Trial and error diagnosis will move to an era where we understand the underlying biology of mental disorders."
"We are going to have to use neuroimaging to begin to identify the systems pathology that is distributed in each of these disorders and think of imaging as a biomarker for mental illnesses."
"The DSM-IV has 100%reliability and 0% validity. We need to develop biomarkers, including brain imaging, to develop the validity of these disorders."
"We need to develop treatments that go after the core pathology, understood by imaging."
"The end game is to get to an era of individualized care."
Dr. Insel believed in 2005 that brain imaging in clinical practice would be a reality in 5 years. Amen Clinics, Inc. (ACI) thinks that brain imaging in clinical practice is long overdue. You can try to kill yourself in virtually every major city in the world, and no one will look at your brain! ACI has been working hard to bring brain imaging to those in need. Over the past 16 years we have developed a database of nearly 40,000 brain SPECT scans. We have more experience in applying this technology than anyone in the world.
