Break Free From Depression and Get Back Your Life

Are you struggling with depression?

If you have been struggling with depression, you’re not alone. More than 19 million adults suffer from the same thing. If you are feeling overwhelmed, worn down, fatigued, sad, isolated, foggy brained, or disconnected, these are classic signs and symptoms that accompany negative moods. Research at Keck Imaging Labs at the University of Wisconsin shows that depressed people experience a reduction of activity in the left side of the brain. This is the side responsible for engaging in positive moods. When the brainwaves are abnormal, your mood can become abnormal.

Medication is Not a Long-Term Solution

Medications can have their place in the short term, but they do not address the underlying brainwave abnormality.

Depression is not Simple

This disorder is more than just the “blues,” or being “down in the dumps”. We all experience feelings of sadness from time to time, and this is normal and healthy.  The problem arises when the sadness doesn’t stop, it doesn’t lift and it is not just temporary.  This is when the problems can set in impacting every area of your life from eating and sleeping to your work, relationships and your sense of self.

There are Many Factors Involved

Depression can develop from a complex combination of factors. These include genetics, brain chemistry, lifestyle, environment, personality and the role that stress plays in exacerbating these elements, impacting key areas of the brain. When the left, prefrontal cortex is impacted, which operates to get us engaging in positive moods and effective social interactions, your mood can change.  When the left side of the brain wave activity slows down we naturally pull away from others and lose interest in things. We want to withdraw to our bed and just lay there. Our moods become very negative. Energy is low. We either can’t sleep at all or we sleep too much. It is the way our biology protects itself when the stress and strain of life becomes overwhelming. A short mild depression is not necessarily a bad thing or abnormal for most people. But when it goes on for more than two weeks and begins to undermine our daily living, then it is a serious problem

How Can BrainCore Neurofeedback Help Depression?

Neurofeedback is a drug-free, non-invasive natural approach to depression. In dealing with depression, many neurofeedback therapists place an electrode on the scalp over each side of the brain and train the individual to increase alpha brain waves on the right side while reducing it on the left. As the left side of the brain becomes more active, individuals begin to feel more positive in their moods. The abnormal brainwave activity diminishes over a period of training sessions improving brainwave patterns. When function is improved, mood is improved and outcomes are optimized.

Can I Break Free, Naturally?

Yes, there is a clinically proven, natural solution that is backed by more than 50 years of research and it addresses the root cause of depression. It is called neurofeedback.
