The Six Types of ADHD?
Q:
"What do you know about Dr. Daniel Amen's brain imaging to diagnose six distinctive brain dysfunctions in order to determine how to treat them?"
A:
Dr. Amen has reported what you state. As best I know the literature, no research has been able to confirm his theory, findings, or recommendations. My personal suggestion is that you not spend time or energy seeking this approach to diagnosis or treatment.
