Why Choose Neurofeedback for Anxiety?
One of the primary reasons people seeking are interested in neurofeedback is because they’re looking for an option other than medication. While medication is a viable and practical choice for many, it often treats the symptoms and doesn’t correct the root of the issue, which lies within the brain. Neurofeedback is a drug-free treatment, but it’s been found to be most effective when used in conjunction with other treatments, such as individual and group therapy, and in many cases-medication. Many times, clients can reduce other therapies as needed after several sessions of Neurotherapy.
A report on the effectiveness of neurofeedback on mood or anxiety disorders in adults found that there was a “statistically significant improvement in symptoms with neurofeedback treatment in clients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)” compared to those who had received no treatment at all.
Also another recent research have shown promising results regarding the efficacy of neurofeedback for treating anxiety and other mental health conditions.
The treatment is non-invasive and painless. It involves learning to modify brain activity by the same means that any other skill is learned- through practice, repetition, and feedback. With neurofeedback, the information about changes in your brain’s electrical activity is instantaneous. It’s a way to train the brain to reduce anxiety at the source. All Neurotherapy sessions at our clinic are individualized to our clients’ needs.
Like any treatment method, not everyone will benefit from neurofeedback or respond to it the same way.
It can be beneficial for people who:
- Have a history of being non-responsive to drug treatments
- Have had adverse effects on medications
- Are seeking a natural alternative to medication
- Would benefit from neurofeedback as a supplement to current treatment
Neurofeedback is open to all clients at our treatment facility. If you’re interested in learning more, please contact us today.
