How to treat it at Neuroscenter?
At Neuroscenter we offer you our alternative, non-invasive and highly effective treatments for Depression, Neurofeedback and EMDR. In addition, to evaluate depression in our patients, we perform cerebral topographic mappings (EEG).Benefits of Neurofeedback and EMDR Treatments for Depression
We can diagnose the type of depression according to the waves and the affected area seen in the brain mapping, which allows us to to develop an individualized treatment. With EMDR, we desensitize and reprocess traumas and difficult situations that interfere with brain function, causing continued suffering. Through brain training (Neurofeedback) we change the recurrent unconscious patterns in order to improve the activation of neurotransmitters and consequently improve brain chemistry (activated by brain waves). In the following brain map you can observe the changes, before and after the Neurofeedback treatment:
