A Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) scan is a type of imaging technique that allows us to assess brain activity by detecting blood flow and metabolic patterns in the brain. While brain SPECT scans can provide valuable information about brain function, it is important to note that they are not typically used as a primary tool for diagnosing mental health disorders on their own.

Mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and others are generally diagnosed through a comprehensive assessment that includes clinical interviews, psychological testing, and, when necessary, neuroimaging or other diagnostic tools. Brain SPECT imaging can sometimes be used as an adjunct to these evaluations, especially in cases where there is a need to understand underlying brain activity, monitor treatment progress, or rule out other neurological issues.
