Life has a way of creating stress. Conflict at work, disagreements with loved ones, financial concerns… the list of circumstances that cause stress is virtually endless. But when does a level of stress become unmanageable or unhealthy?
Dr. Daniel Amen has developed a quiz to test just how intense your stress level is. I have been a booster of Dr. Amen — who is a physician and an adult and child psychiatrist — for quite some time. I recognized the value in his mission to end mental illness by creating a revolution in brain health. In particular, I appreciated the scientific basis of his methodology: assembling the world’s largest database of brain scans for psychiatry, totaling more than 225,000 SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) scans on patients from 155 countries.
That led me to complete the Amen Clinics’ Brain SPECT Training and Certification, which included education on how to implement a brain system approach to diagnosis and treatment of mental illness. This education focused on how SPECT helps to accurately identify underlying brain issues that contribute to mental health symptoms.
This stress assessment is based on Dr. Amen’s years of practical experience and clinical research. The assessment is free of charge, and you may take the quiz here. You will be asked to submit your email address to receive the results of the test. However, you may opt out of any further email messages at any time.
