> Any updates on the clinic? How are you doing now, MXRider. I just found this site while searching for info on the Amen clinics. I am very new to this depression biz, and fear that time wasted in treatment could cost my husband his job....and more. That's why I am inclined to go strait to the clinic (after reading Amen's book. Our local psychiatrist (only one on our ppo plan)only spent 25 mins w/ my spouse before writing a prescription (2 failed attempts now).
I am doing pretty well now. I don't go to the Amen clinic anymore, but, now see a Dr. Jensen in Laguna Nigel, Ca. I would say, however, that by going through the Amen clinic process, I learned alot about what My brain was doing. It is not cheap, but, neither is losing your job!
Dr. Jensen is also very good... he is very consciencous, and will spend as much time as you need with him. He is also very open to try whatever meds he or you think might work, he will "go outside the box" to get good results.
Best of luck...this is no picnic this stuff, but you can get through it.
