He SPECIALIZES in problems like yours and he uses a special test called BEAM which can determine precisely what levels of neurotransmitters you have, what speed your brain is operating at, and can even diagnose alzheimers, parkinson's, bi-polar, and ADD years before these conditions actually show up. The test can even determine which nutrients and medications would be useful thererby minimizing side-effects and time wasted on testing out different nutrients and medications.

>Brain Electrical Activity Mapping (BEAM)is not a test of neurotransmitter levels. There are well-known differences in regional brain activity levels in the mentally ill. A person with depression will have characteristic deficits in activity in some regions, and also, hyperactivity in others. I can't see how BEAM adds anything to diagnosis and treatment.
Just trying to be accurate.
