What is Schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia is a complex mental health disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. It often leads to a disconnect from reality, causing significant distress and impairment in daily functioning. Understanding this condition is the first step towards managing it effectively and improving the quality of life for those affected.
Schizophrenia manifests in a variety of ways, but common symptoms include:
- Hallucinations: Hearing or seeing things that are not present.
- Delusions: Strongly held false beliefs that conflict with reality.
- Disorganized Thinking: Difficulty organizing thoughts, leading to incoherent speech.
- Negative Symptoms: Reduced ability to function normally, such as lack of emotion or social withdrawal.
- Cognitive Issues: Problems with memory, attention, and decision-making.
At ABC Neurohub, we provide comprehensive support for individuals with schizophrenia, focusing on personalized care and evidence-based treatments. Our services include:
- Individual Therapy: Tailored sessions to address specific needs and challenges.

Neurofeedback Therapy: Rewiring the Brain for Better Health
Neurofeedback is a cutting-edge, non-invasive therapy that helps train the brain to function more efficiently. Here’s how it works:
- Brain Mapping: The process begins with a quantitative EEG (qEEG) to create a brain map. This map shows areas of the brain that may be under- or over-active, helping us understand the specific patterns associated with schizophrenia.
- Personalized Training: Based on the brain map, a personalized neurofeedback training plan is developed. During sessions, sensors are placed on the scalp to monitor brainwave activity in real-time.
- Feedback Mechanism: Patients receive immediate feedback, often in the form of visual or auditory signals. This feedback helps the brain learn to self-regulate, promoting healthier brainwave patterns.
- Ongoing Improvement: Over time, repeated neurofeedback sessions can lead to lasting improvements in brain function, reducing symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and cognitive disruptions.
Neurofeedback is a promising adjunct to traditional treatments, offering a natural and empowering way to enhance mental health. At ABC Neurohub, we’re dedicated to providing the most effective and innovative therapies to support our clients on their journey to wellness.
