Summary: Many people spend years unable to find the proper treatments and medications that assist in their healing. Now, due to an extraordinary technological breakthrough, there are changes on the horizon! New technology is able to read the needs of everyone’s brain individually and help doctors treat disorders such as PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, and many more. Currently, Walter Reed Medical is starting to use this technology to treat soldiers suffering with PTSD. This week, my guests were Brian Harvey and George Carpenter. Brian has had the extraordinary benefit of using this brain technology to help find the proper medications to treat his Bipolar disorder. George Carpenter is the CEO of CNS Response, the supplier of the brain scan. George will discuss how this breakthrough has the potential to help ten of thousands of people by eliminating the guesswork in diagnosis and treatment.
