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
Temporal Lobe ADD
Limbic ADD
Ring of Fire ADD
Anxious 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,
hypersensitivity, anxiety, and periods of irritability that may include a short temper with little
provocation. This type is made worse with stimulant medications alone and 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.

BRAIN
SPECT
FINDINGS FOR THIS
TYPE INCLUDE:
Healthy SPECT Study
At rest and during concentration there is increased deep limbic activity
(in the thalamus and hypothalamus), increased activity in the basal
ganglia, and increased uptake across the cerebral cortex with focal areas
of increased activity, especially in the:
LEFT AND RIGHT PARIETAL LOBES
LEFT AND RIGHT TEMPORAL LOBES
LEFT AND RIGHT PREFRONTAL CORTEX
ANTERIOR CINGULATE
During concentration, there is 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.
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.
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.
SLEEP
Get at least 7-8 hours of sleep every night.
MUSIC
Listen to uplifting music.
TEMPER PROTECTION
AND ANXIETY REDUCTION PLAN
Notice when you start to get upset and learn how to take breaks to get yourself back
under control.
Do the “5 X 3 X 8” breath meditation for 2 minutes every morning, every evening, and during
times of stress, anxiety, or frustration. Take 5 seconds to take in a big breath, hold it for 5
seconds, then breathe out for 5 seconds – do this 8 times (2 minutes) – it will significantly
lower your irritability and increase your sense of control.
When you feel irritable or anxious, try listening to relaxing music and use mood-boosting
essential oil aromas such as lavender, bergamot, grapefruit, and peppermint.
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 type of exercise 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 intense exercise, highly interesting
activities, and brain-directed supplements below to support overall brain health. Also, stop artificial sweeteners
and MSG.
The addition of brain-directed nutritional supplements to support healthy focus and mental energy levels.
