Hi there,
Dr. Amen is the pioneer of this research. Although his work is not peer reviewed, it's hard to argue with the abnormal blood flow patterns shown on these scans in ADD patients [IMO]. When an individual shows clinical improvement with treatment their blood flow patterns normalize. His book "Healing ADD" discusses 6 types of ADD (blood flow abnormalities in one [or more] of six distinct brain regions) and the symptoms that tend to present with each type. Also listed are the types of medications, and also non medication treatment strategies for each type.
