@docamen: Replying to @NAJLA 🫦 This is why at Amen Clinics, we look at the brain before medicating it. A brain SPECT scan is one of the tools we use in our comprehensive evaluation to get a better understanding and roadmap for treatment. #mentalillness
Quick question, I’ve seen a lot of people bring up BPD bec of the reaction to SSRIs. Wouldn’t autism or paradoxical reactions be on the table too then? Is there a reason why a dr wouldn’t look into these things? I ask bec I went through a similar thing with an adverse reaction, which led to me being assessed for BPD for a year but it never fit. I ended up hospitalized eventually and after the fact was told it could be one of those two instead. Just curious about when/how these things get looked at and why it isn’t brought up in this case?

Yes agreed 💯 Blood work, hormonal levels & Genetic testing. These are tools to help providers provide more accurate medications.

The appropriate mechanism to prevent this tragedy is not more test testing because time was of the essence - one of those psychiatrists should have realized when she was calling the suicide hotline that she was a danger to herself and perhaps others and that’s to play on a involuntary 48 hour old psychiatric for and got a court to intervene to sort this out. Maybe that would’ve involved imaging

How do we find doctors that agree to do this? Every single one I have asked has refused. Not a single medication ever given has worked.
