Re: adults with virus'/ocd/depression/anxiety

He has several books. Exceptional reading. We've been able to

integrate many of his suggestions with our observance of the DAN!

protocol. The DAN! has helped with gut issues, but we still had major

focus & attention issues. Once I read his book, it was easy to

categorize my son's attention issues and we incorporated some of his

suggestions with good results. When you said in your email that your

brother had trouble in and after he got out of school, I thought of

Dr. Amen's work and some of the testimonials on the website. I hope it

helps.

First, you need to ascertain whether he wants to help himself or not.

Is he able to feel the need for himself to get help ?

MD. If you can find one that takes insurance, would he go? If you

do some searching, you may be able to find one that meets his needs

and maybe you could convince him to see this doctor instead of his

current ones. I would think that the only way to convince him is to

get the appropriate tests run and to have an MD tell him that he

needs to make certain changes.

one that takes insurance seems more mainstream. I really don't think

a book is the answer unless the person is seeking the advice it will

give. An appropriately trained doctor may have more impact. Also,

my DAN doctor did some tests on me. Luckily, he takes insurance!
