Depression often deprives individuals of life’s pleasures, leaving them feeling empty and overwhelmed by despair. In severe cases, it can lead to thoughts of suicide as individuals seek relief from their suffering. While therapy and medication are traditional approaches to treating depression, they have limitations, and medications may carry significant side effects.
Even with medication, countless depression sufferers continue to struggle. Medications don’t teach the brain how to get out of the unhealthy brain pattern of depression. While drugs can serve some positive benefits, there are numerous problems with these medications, including:
At Balance Atlanta, BrainCore Therapy neurofeedback aims to restore healthier brain patterns and alleviate depression by helping the brain regulate itself more effectively. This brain training approach can be an effective method for treating depression. However, individuals currently taking medication should only reduce or discontinue their prescribed drugs under the supervision of their doctor as their brain stabilizes over time with neurofeedback.
Dr. Caroline uses neurofeedback training to address the root cause of depression by targeting associated brain patterns, leading to improved mood stabilization and motivation. Unlike temporary mood fluctuations, clinical depression involves prolonged states of low mood that may require intervention.
Research suggests that depression has neurological imbalances, as evidenced by specific brain patterns identified through qEEG brain mapping. By modifying these patterns, neurofeedback offers a non-invasive and side-effect-free approach to lasting improvement in depression symptoms.
Neurofeedback is aimed at reshaping the dysfunctional brain patterns associated with depression, offering a potent therapeutic approach. Guided by Dr. Caroline, patients engage in sessions ranging from once to several times per week, each lasting about 30 minutes. While some may experience improvements after just a few sessions, sustained benefits require multiple sessions to instill consistent, healthier mood regulation patterns.
Through practice, the brain internalizes these patterns, enabling independent mood regulation. Neurofeedback holds promise as a pathway to reclaiming life from the confines of depression, offering a means for the brain to relearn and adopt healthier patterns, thereby breaking free from the constraints of mental distress.
