Depression can look like ADHD. It can make it hard to listen to others, pay attention in meetings, focus during the work day, or have energy to go about your day.
Medication for depression is a slog. Six weeks to see if it even works. Then it can cause weight gain, increase suicidal thoughts, and destroy your desire to have sex.
Talk therapy is useful but can be tiresome. We aren’t your “Uh-huh tell me more” kind of therapists. We offer neurofeedback for depression.
Neurofeedback for Depression
Neurofeedback is the practice of training the brain to function better. There are a few different kinds of neurofeedback. DCNE also uses many forms of amplitude training to target brain waves, including Alpha/Theta training, as well as z-score training, and infra-slow fluctuation (ISF) neurofeedback. These are all accepted forms of neurofeedback and can be very effective.
A QEEG – See the Change you Wish to Be
Your neurofeedback training begins with a QEEG. A QEEG is the baseline measure of your brain wave activity. We turn the data from a QEEG into a Brain Map. The Brain Map is a summary of the brain wave activity during the QEEG.
We have invested in the extensive training required to administer and interpret a QEEG. We are the only one in DC who has that additional training. If you don’t have a QEEG to begin with, your neurofeedback provider has NO evidence about how to help you. That is why we start with a QEEG.
From the Brain Map we decide the best form of neurofeedback training for your brain and to meet your goals. When you’re done with your neurofeedback training we take another QEEG and make another Brain Map. Then we SHOW YOU the results so you can see for yourself.
When you can see the change, you can be the change.
Neurofeedback Training
Neurofeedback training is the next step after the QEEG. It is the actual practice of training the brain to function better.
Neurofeedback trains the brain to function better but rewarding and/or inhibiting brain waves that might prevent the brain from functioning in the healthiest manner. The goals of training are always set by you, so that we know which mental health symptoms we want to reduce or enhance.
