''Dr. Amit found me answers I had been searching for no less than 30 years. When I came to him I was afraid from the depths of my soul - a doctor with the ability to declare me crazy and send me to Abarbanel, and in the best case, bipolar with no future, dependent on medications until the end of my days - those were the scenarios, and I prepared for this meeting for weeks, to the point that in the taxi I wrote 3-4 pages of my timeline and what I had been through, to show that I was efficient. I met a person who broke the ice with me already over coffee before we entered the meeting. He listened as I told him that I had fought for 30 years to be an ordinary person, when I never felt that way - and he looked beyond the pain, at my body, at the system that holds the spirit and the soul, and the sentence that was etched in me - "I want to check that there isn't a hidden organic agent affecting your depression and anxiety." His theory turned out to be remarkably accurate - a genetic test of a single gene sequence changed my life from end to end, because folic acid is super important, friends - my inability to absorb folic acid led me to be a person in emotional, mental and physical distress, because my brain didn't get the basic things it needs - vitamin B12 and methylfolate (the substance that folic acid breaks down into). Instead of drowning my brain in a fog of psychiatric pills, he was the first medical professional who managed to balance me from the inside first. He recommended methylfolate as a substitute for folic acid (which my family doctor had prescribed me several times), vitamin B12 by prescription, magnesium and omega-3, combined with a diet rich in (good) cholesterol, and 3 months later my folic acid levels rose more than 4 times, my vitamin B12 doubled, and for the first time in my life my iron levels also more than doubled - without taking a single iron pill - when my whole life I had been borderline anemic. The change crept up on me without my noticing - I'm able to hold emotions and pain like I never could before, my sharpness rose to levels I didn't know, my patience grew and changed, and the biggest one of all - I fell in love for the first time in my life, and the feeling of butterflies in my stomach was "like anxiety only reversed and pleasant." Dr. Ben Amit is a leader in his field and nothing less than a groundbreaker who is worth every penny. My late mother took me, starting at age 6, to every evaluator, therapist, psychologist and professional she could find, to find answers as to why I was explosive, impatient, angry and afraid of myself, and unable to connect with my classmates. She passed away when I was 12, and today, at age 36, I can finally tell her that I found the reason, and I am working on myself with a new space that didn't exist within me before, because for 5 months now I have had a body balanced on a biological-chemical level for the first time in my life, and I can finally do the behavioral work needed to heal from everything I went through - after years of being told that I was dramatic, and simply needed to breathe and relax, pull myself together, or just leave - when today, thanks to Dr. Amit's devoted help, I can say that I simply did not have that ability within me, literally. The word thank you doesn't feel like enough for a person and a doctor who found answers to questions I had been asking myself since first grade, so I will recommend him to every man, woman, and everyone in between - he is not just another psychiatrist flipping through notes after prescribing one pill or another; he sees the body and mind as an organism that holds spirit and soul, and works with the patient's body for their benefit. May this become the standard of mental health care in Israel and in the world.

''Dr. Ben Amit is a simply wonderful psychiatrist. Warm-hearted, humane with tremendous knowledge and positive energy. When I was in the room with him one on one, and we discussed the post-traumatic stress disorder from which I suffer, I felt protected, that I had someone to talk to. I left the meeting with many insights and a good feeling. Go to him - you will not regret it. Thank you very much, Doctor. From the heart Shimon

''Dr. Ben Amit received me with open arms and great sensitivity. He understood me and most importantly gave me hope and security. Dr. Ben Amit, for me, is a super talented and professional person above all else. Fast response, personal, honest, decent and above all caring attitude. I am happy and grateful that I came to Der Ben Amit and will continue to treat him. I recommend to anyone who needs help or is undecided to know that Dr. Ben Amit is simply a human being among many people in this end and on a personal level I unfortunately went through quite a bit until our paths met and that is what makes him special in my opinion.
