[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 288179, member: 3444"] Hmmmm... I guess for $150 bucks, if you have it to spend, you could see what he comes back with. I've never heard of this company and I live near them. I'm a natural-born skeptic, so I don't think I'd try this as a first line stab at solving a particular problem. But given Dude's history, it might be worth a shot. If it comes back with some option you haven't already tried, well then maybe it's worth pursuing. P.S. We have another psychiatrist locally (who's also well-known nationally) who has been opening up brain imaging centers all over the place, professing to be able to diagnose and treat based on how your brain imaging comes back (PET scans, I think). I've been told repeatedly be others in the field that it's considered very investigational and because the guy charges a couple grand for the scans, he really only appears to be in this for the money. If he were really interested in helping people, he'd be conducting the requisit double-blind controlled studies to really prove (or disprove) the validity of this type of testing. But that costs money, and money that doesn't go into his pocket. (See where I'm heading with this?). So in the mean time, he continues to capitalize on his "method" and people line up to pay him. I know a mom who took her son to this center and paid the big bucks to have her son scanned. And in my humble opinion, this kid who only seemed to have your typical ADHD is now OVER-medicated because he walks around like zombie most of the time. Okay, getting sidetracked here...
