What is Depression?

Depression can vary from person to person, but common symptoms include:
- Persistent Sadness: Feeling down, hopeless, or empty for most of the day.
- Loss of Interest: No longer finding pleasure in hobbies or activities.
- Changes in Appetite: Significant weight loss or gain unrelated to dieting.
- Sleep Issues: Insomnia or oversleeping.
- Fatigue: Feeling tired or having little energy.
- Difficulty Concentrating: Trouble focusing, remembering, or making decisions.
- Physical Symptoms: Unexplained aches or pains.

Our comprehensive treatment include:
Neurofeedback Therapy
- 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 depression.
- 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 persistent sadness, fatigue, and concentration difficulties.
