About Dr. Napatia T. Gettings

Dr. Napatia T. Gettings is a renowned Double Board Certified Child, Adolescent, and Adult Psychiatrist specializing in Functional Psychiatry and SPECT Imaging. As a partner at the esteemed Amen Clinics, she has become a leader in integrating mental health care with innovative diagnostic tools, such as SPECT imaging, to uncover hidden causes of neurological and psychiatric symptoms.

With over 1,000 brain scans analyzed, Dr. Gettings has a proven track record of identifying inflammation, infections, and brain activity abnormalities that are often overlooked by traditional medical approaches. She is also a Lyme Literate Psychiatrist, known for using advanced imaging techniques to support patients struggling with Lyme disease and co-infections.


Specialties

  • Lyme Disease and Co-Infections: Leveraging SPECT imaging to identify brain inflammation caused by tick-borne illnesses.
  • Mental Health Diagnostics: Addressing psychiatric challenges such as OCD, PTSD, and depression with an emphasis on root causes.
  • Brain Health Restoration: Utilizing advanced therapies, including hyperbaric oxygen and lifestyle modifications, to promote healing.
  • Cannabis and Brain Health: Offering expertise on the benefits and risks of CBD and THC for inflammation and mental wellness.

Innovative Diagnostic Tools

Dr. Gettings is at the forefront of using SPECT (Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography) imaging to assess brain health. Unlike traditional CT scans, which detect structural abnormalities, SPECT scans evaluate both surface and deep brain activity. This approach helps pinpoint:

  • Scalloping: Surface-level inflammation of the brain.
  • Patchy Cortical Uptake: Inflammation in deep brain regions.
    These insights allow for personalized and precise treatment plans that address the underlying causes of symptoms.
