Neurofeedback: Depression | Anxiety
Depression and anxiety unlike some illnesses have a specific medical cause, making treatment straightforward. If you have diabetes, you take insulin; if you have appendicitis, you have surgery. But depression is more complicated. Depression is not just the result of a chemical imbalance in the brain, and is not simply cured with medication. Experts believe that depression is caused by a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors. In other words, your lifestyle choices, relationships, and coping skills matter just as much-if not more so-than genetics. It is all about understanding the aspect of your depression which may help you overcome the problem. That is why the NeurofeedbackWellnessCenter.com offers Neurofeedback (EEG Biofeedback) a Drug-Free, Non-Invasive training as an 'Adjunctive' (i.e. Used together with the primary treatment in the purpose is to assist the primary treatment) training with conventional 3rd party psychotherapy (Moore, 2000; Rosenfeld, 2000; Trudeau, 2000).
"With the use of anticonvulsants as mood stabilizers," Othmer said, "we have seen a convergence of psychiatry and neurology in the field of pharmacology. Similarly, neurofeedback signals a convergence of psychiatry and neurology in bioelectrical approaches to treating affective disorders. By stabilizing the brain and rewarding it for holding particular states, neurofeedback acts as a natural anticonvulsant." The rationale for using neurofeedback therapeutically is that it corrects deficits in brain cerebral regulatory function related to arousal, attention, vigilance and affect (Othmer et al., 1999). Such as with Beta (15 Hz to 18 Hz) neurofeedback training usually produces a slightly upward shift in arousal levels, leading to increased wakefulness and attentiveness or to decreased depression.
