As the owner and director of Lotus Counseling Center in Miami, I’ve seen many people struggling with various mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. But I always stress to my team the importance of a holistic approach.
Yes, mental health is crucial, but underlying factors often contribute to someone’s struggles. That’s why I am a big fan of Spect scans. This unique technology allows us to understand what is happening in a patient’s brain to give them the best treatment possible.
For example, I once had a patient struggling with severe anxiety. We did a Spect scan and found that he also had some damage to the prefrontal cortex, contributing to his anxiety. Once we had that information, we could tailor his treatment to address the anxiety and brain damage, ultimately leading to a better outcome.
And not just older people or those with brain injuries can benefit from a Spect scan. Even younger athletes who suffer concussions can benefit from this technology. It allows us to pinpoint precisely what’s going on in their brain and tailor their treatment accordingly so that they can heal faster and more effectively.
But it’s not just about Spect scans. At Amen Clinics, where we often refer our patients, they have a team of experts who can help, from patient care coordinators to specialists. We’ve had great experiences working with their team, and they’re always enthusiastic about collaborating with us to provide the best possible care for our patients.
I remember when I referred a patient to a psychiatrist and couldn’t get them to return my calls. It was frustrating, but it’s not something we ever experience when working with Amen Clinics. They’re always there to help, and they genuinely care about the patients they serve.
So if you’re struggling with mental health challenges, take heart. You’re not alone, and there are professionals out there who can help you get the care you need. Whether it’s a Spect scan or another form of treatment, there’s hope for a better quality of life.
I’ve seen so many success stories in my line of work that it’s hard to pick just one to share. But I remember one patient in particular who was struggling with severe depression. We did a Spect scan and found some damage to her prefrontal cortex, contributing to her depression.
Once we addressed that, we could give her the proper treatment, and things started looking up. She started feeling better, and she even started dating again. One day, she came into the office bursting with excitement. She had met someone special online, and they’d been talking non-stop for weeks. She was over the moon, and I couldn’t help but smile, knowing we’d played a small part in getting her to this point.
It’s moments like that, when you see someone’s face light up with joy, that make all the hard work worth it. They say laughter is the best medicine, but I’ll tell you what – being a part of someone’s journey to healing and happiness is a close second.
