    REPORT

    Thank you for taking Amen Clinics’


    ADD Type Test.
    Based on your answers, you may have a combination of more than
    one type of ADD, including:

    Overfocused ADD

    Limbic ADD

    For people with this type, the core symptoms of ADD intersect with symptoms of depression
    and are compounded by tremendous trouble shifting attention, predicting the worst, and
    chronic low selfesteem. This type is frequently found in substance abusers and in the children
    and grandchildren of alcoholics.

    Please take a moment to review the comprehensive, personalized report based on your
    answers. This report provides an action plan tailored to your specific ADD Type and offers
    natural and targeted treatment recommendations that you can start immediately from home.

    This assessment is the result of years of practice experience and clinical research. The
    results, by necessity, are of a general nature and should not be viewed as a substitute for
    an evaluation or treatment by a competent medical specialist. Use this as a catalyst to help
    you think, ask better questions and get more evaluation if needed. Always discuss any
    recommendations with your personal physician.

    In Brain Health,

    Daniel G. Amen M.D.

    FINDINGS FOR THIS
    TYPE INCLUDE: Healthy SPECT Study

    At rest and during concentration there is increased deep limbic


    activity (in the thalamus and hypothalamus) along with increased
    activity in the anterior cingulate gyrus and basal ganglia.

    During concentration, there is also decreased activity in the:

    UNDERSIDE OF THE PREFRONTAL CORTEX

    CEREBELLUM
    STRUCTURED GOAL SETTING
    Do the “One Page Miracle” exercise to write down your goals and review them
    every day while asking yourself, “Is my behavior getting me what I want?” Find
    the exercise in the bonus guide: Healing ADD in 30 Days.

    DISTRACTION
    Learn how to distract yourself when you get a thought in your head more than 3
    times. Get up and go do something else.

    KILL THE ANTS


    (AUTOMATIC NEGATIVE THOUGHTS)
    Learn how to kill the ANTs (Automatic Negative Thoughts) so they don’t ruin your
    day. Learn how in the bonus guide: Healing ADD in 30 Days.

    MOOD-BOOSTING
    Use mood-boosting essential oil aromas such as lavender, bergamot, grapefruit,
    and peppermint.
    MUSIC
    Listen to uplifting, faster paced music.

    SLEEP
    Get at least 7-8 hours of sleep every night.

    DIET
    Eat a diet that is balanced between high-quality proteins, healthy fats, and complex
    carbohydrates. Too much protein can cause overfocused negative thinking patterns – see
    HADD, sessions 6 through 9, for specifics.

    INTENSE EXERCISE
    Get enough intense aerobic exercise, such as the equivalent of “walking like you are late”
    for 30-45 minutes, five to seven days a week.

    This can help to distract thoughts, boost blood flow to the brain, increase serotonin availability,
    and provide relaxation that will support more open-mindedness.

    Exercises that are also social activities (such as dancing) can be helpful because the social
    bonding aspect helps to calm the emotional centers of the brain while enhancing mood.
    NATURAL WAYS TO
    SUPPORT HEALTHY DOPAMINE

    Natural ways to support healthy dopamine, serotonin, and GABA levels include exercise, highly interesting activities,
    and brain-directed supplements below to support overall brain health.

    The addition of brain-directed nutritional supplements to support healthy focus and mental energy levels.
