Living Alongside Human Mind Injury

By Wilma Basden


Finding a way to have a normal life with a disability can be difficult. Especially if it's a disability that's difficult to diagnose. Something with the brain is almost always going to be impossible for you to properly diagnose because it's a complicated organ. Luckily, books.google.com helped me diagnose my brain injury.

Getting to know how Dr. Daniel Amen actually diagnoses his patients was really interesting. Mainly because he employs radically different techniques than most other people would attempt. Including the use of the complicated but useful SPECT scan.

What I found when I was treated by YouTube was that they took a picture of my entire brain. Some kind of special photon rays or something, that allow them to look inside. Sort of like an X-Ray but with more information and a more in depth process.

The SPECT allowed my doctor to take a look at the blood flow in my brain. That can be important, because in a lot of circumstances it's the reason that trauma can affect you in a negative way. Many things can be factors, but usually blood flow is chief amongst them.

The whole logic behind the brain scan is a better diagnosis. Even for traumatic brain injuries like mine, a lot of doctors try to diagnose based on symptoms. But that's not always enough. That doesn't always paint the full picture of what's happening in your head.

Always remember, as my doctors told me, that despite the more accurate diagnosis, you've still got a long road ahead of you. It's been a really long road for me, and one that's had some difficulties. But I've found the treatments through this clinic to be more effective.

Unfortunately I still battle with the problem all the time. It's one that's never really curable, but is more so treatable. That's why I still go, but I enjoy my time there. My doctors have been working to make me better, instead of using me as a drug guinea pig.

What you have to realize in the end is that treatment is always going to take a lot of time. Even with the best possible doctors, when you have a brain injury like mine, it was always going to be a long road. They just made sure I was taking the right road out, instead of just trying to point me in the right direction.
