Well, it never hurts to ask. I am not sure how much they will know from a brain scan however. I have seen some research on documentaries and they do have technology
that shows the brain's activity in certain areas and if these areas get active when a patient is asked certain questions or shown certain images. I think they can see "some" things on scans that show challenges like dyslexia or even what the brain of a psychopath
looks like.
I don't know how much is costs to do that or if you have insurance etc. A psychiatrist might not be the one to see though, instead a neurologist would be one that would
be able to order that kind of scan and be able to know more about the brain itself. So maybe you should look in to seeing a neurologist, especially considering medications are just off the table for you which is what psychiatrists are more about. I would hate to see you wait such a long time to see a psychiatrist only to be referred to a neurologist and have to wait longer for what you want.
