“I have been a long-time advocate of the pioneering research of Daniel Amen. The science behind his work is complex, but its execution is easy to follow.”
~ Dr Sears
In this national public television program, psychiatrist Daniel Amen and his wife, nurse Tana Amen, explain the 7 unique types of Attention Deficit Disorder, based on the extensive brain imaging work done by the Amen Clinics on tens of thousands of ADD patients.
This is a completely new way to look at ADD. Treating all people with ADD the same invites failure and frustration, and can be a disaster, as the traditional treatments that make two of the types of ADD better can make the other 5 types worse.
This program is divided into three parts. In Part One, the myths and misconceptions about ADD are discussed, as well as the hallmark ADD symptoms. In Part Two, the 7 different types of ADD are described in detail. And in Part Three Dr and Mrs Amen will give you a clear method for Healing ADD, including the best natural treatments. While they are not opposed to medication, they do think it’s smart to start with lifestyle and natural treatments first.
This program contains a question and answer session with the audience where Dr and Mrs Amen answer 20 questions on ADD, including its impact on families, school, work, along with the best natural and medicinal treatments. The questions they answer are:
- What medications are commonly prescribed for ADD?
- Is it possible to have a combination of all 7 types of ADD?
- How can I get my brain scanned?
- My pre-teen daughter has ADD, and she doesn’t want to participate in any treatment efforts. What can I do?
- Should I replace sugar with artificial sweeteners?
- How do you diagnose ADD types when other disorders commonly go along with ADD?
- How can schools better support children and parents in being healthy?
- Is ADD affected by a woman’s monthly cycle or menopause?
- How can you tell the difference between Anxious ADD (Type 3) and an anxiety disorder without ADD?
- I was never diagnosed with ADD as a child, but now I recognize some of the symptoms you described. How can I know if I have ADD?
- How can I get my kids to eat healthier?
- Is it really possible to heal ADD?
- I’d like to have my family try an elimination diet, but don’t know if I can survive without dairy. What do you suggest?
- What nutritional supplements can help heal ADD?
- My bipolar daughter seems to be doing better while she’s pregnant and off all medication. What should I watch for once the baby is born?
- What are your thoughts on neurofeedback?
- My husband has ADD and a seizure disorder from head trauma. What supplements would be helpful?
- My son with ADD loves his video games. I know that’s not good for him, and try to limit his time playing. What do you think is a safe amount?
- How does Provigil compare to other stimulants? Does it work well for ADD?
- Can exposure to chemicals like pesticides cause ADD? Do any supplements help with toxic exposure?

The Healing ADD Brain Type Test will be a great start to helping educate you about ADD and to help you know about the different types.
A long time ago Dr Amen realized that not everyone can get a SPECT scan… so, based on thousands of brain scans, he developed this questionnaire to help educate you and your loved ones about ADD/ADHD and its types.
The Healing ADD Brain Type Test is a 70 item self-test, which serves as an information tool to assess the possibility of overall ADD/ADHD syndrome and its seven types.
Based on your answers, we will educate you about the type or types of ADD that you may have. Feel free to give this questionnaire to your friends and family members, since ADD runs in families.
