About this facility
Amen Clinics Los Angeles takes a neurological focus to treating mental health disorders, eating disorders, drug addictions, and behavior addictions. They meet clients and perform a brain scan at their clinic. From the scans and conversation, Amen Clinics works with clients and their families to provide outpatient care tailored to the clients' needs. Amen Clinics considers "mental health" as a part of "brain health".
The name Amen Clinics comes from their founder, Dr. Daniel G. Amen, who opened this chain of clinics in 1996.
Amen Clinics treats a wide variety of mental and physical conditions related to the brain, including attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), anger, intermittent explosive disorder, anxiety, depression (including post-partum depression), bipolar disorder, mania, hypomania, body dysmorphic disorder, borderline personality disorder (BPD), brain optimization, concussions, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, emotional trauma, physical brain trauma, addictions, hormonal imbalances, learning disabilities, lyme disease and other infections, dementia and other memory problems, multiple personality disorder, narcissism, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), panic disorder, panic attacs, phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder, postpartum depression, psychosis, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), self-esteem issues, self-harm, suicidality, sleep disorders, exposure to toxins, and weight issues.
