Summary: Fascinating and useful!
Comment: If you've doubted that psychological difficulties can be quantified physiologically, read Change Your Brain, Change Your Life. The brain scan results are impressive and suggest that mental imbalances can be treated by a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy, medication and nutritional changes. Particularly fascinating is the evidence that people prone to angry outbursts, irrational behavior and violence (in short, behavior that is typically associated with the delinquent or criminal personality) can be treated effectively, as can those prone to lesser disturbances.

If you or anyone you know suffers from depression; anxiety; obsessive-compulsive disorder; manic depression; attention deficit disorder; severe premenstrual syndrome; alcohol or drug abuse; poor impulse control; suicidal or homicidal thoughts; or angry or violent outbursts, read this book. If you're already being treated for one of these conditions, read this book and share it with your therapist. It will give you a good idea of what is happening to you physiologically and outline potential treatment options. In that numerous treatment protocols are discussed for various mental imbalances, this book is both helpful and hopeful.

Note that this book should be useful for mental health professionals as well as for their patients. The brain scans are compelling, and the author does a good job of detailing numerous medications, cognitive-behavioral therapies and nutritional approaches to treating psychological problems.

Summary: A must read for anyone who wants a better life.
Comment: The thing I like best about Amen's "Change Your Brain Change Your Life" is that it is comprehensive. Dr. Amen's research on metabolic processes in the brain and how those processes correlate to human behavior makes a lot of sense. He takes complex information and makes it easy enough for the lay person to understand and then gives a plethora of treatment options for the reader to consider in optimizing their brain activity for having a better life. Unlike so many other doctors, Amen takes a comprehensive approach and presents numerous options for treatment other than just standard prescription medications. This is an easy read and one that anyone can benefit from. I highly recommend it!

Summary: Your Brain on TOAST!
Comment: Fascinating book, looking at physiological and functional problems in the brain due to trauma or drug use (both legal and illegal) - the SPECT images are *scary* !! Useful for self-examination as well as understanding odd behavioral patterns in others.
