I've had one at a mental hospital. All it can do is help you, I think. In my case, there was significant brain damage (I'd also been hit on the head right before admission during a botched mugging). Despite the damage, my thinking skills and ability to go batsh!t crazy were largely intact. My shrink called it "transcendent intelligence."
Anyway, enough about me--just don't worry. I guess that's my main point. I think its good that your doctor is getting a peek at your brain--I mean, that's what these drugs are designed to affect. When you think about it, its kind of odd that psychiatry claims to be a science, but they rarely catch a glimpse of the organ they're working on (and they sometimes destroy the brain to save the mind).
If there is a problem, this will help guide medication selection. Either way, I think you should focus more on your well-being and level of functioning than on what a CT scan might reveal.
Good luck.
