[QUOTE="butterflydreams, post: 140917"] Yes, the psychiatrist that is at our psychiatric hospital (very well-known in our area) has been specially trained for this particular test. He is the only one in our area that is able to do it. I don't remember the exact name of it, but I will write it down on Monday when I go in. He has said that he can look at the images of activity on the brain and see patterns that are present if particular illnesses are present like bi-polar, or even depression shows a particular pattern of activity. He performed this same scan on someone I know's child who was diagnosed as ADHD because of behaviors when he was real little. This child has been on medications for ADHD for probably 4 years. The psychiatrist did this scan and he was able to see no evidence of ADHD in his brain, but was able to see that there was something else going on in there. I will try to find out more information about the test, I just found out last week that he wanted to run it and I wasn't sure that the insurance company would even cover it. Christy [/QUOTE]
