Both my T and my PNP spoke to me about Dr. Amen. He has a web site with assessment tools for ADHD and they both wanted me to take these. I did the first test and then the second to fine tune my diagnosis according to Amen. Then when I was done, it gave me the results and there were 4 different categories. These corresponded to which part of your brain was involved in your particular presenting symptoms. Based on that, a different diet, nutritional supplements, and medications were recommended. For example, one of the 4 subtypes did best on a high protein diet, and another on high carbs, etc. So according to Amen, there would not be just one size fits all for a best diet. Similarly, supplements and meds.

I don't know if there is anything to this or not, but his meds recommendations for the different types made some sense to me.
