Revisiting Hannah Brown’s powerful brain scan and her story of trauma, anxiety, and depression.
Her SPECT scan revealed a pattern of overactivity commonly seen in people who have experienced trauma—what we call the “diamond pattern” at Amen Clinics. This pattern is often associated with worry, anxiousness, and sadness.
SPECT measures blood flow and activity in the brain, helping us see areas that are working well, working too hard, or not working hard enough.
Hannah’s story is an important reminder: mental health is brain health—and when you look at the brain, you can better understand what it needs.
If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health concerns, visit Amen Clinics to book an evaluation. We have 11 clinic locations in the US with 55 doctors on staff.
