MANAGING ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION WITH NEUROPTIMAL® NEUROFEEDBACK
Depression and anxiety are significant mental health concerns in Australia, and their prevalence has been on the rise in recent years. Approximately 4 million Australians live with these disorders, making it the most common mental health conditions in the country. Women are also more likely to experience anxiety than men, with the prevalence amongst women being almost twice that of men.
Young people are also at an increased risk of experiencing depression and/or anxiety, with approximately 1 in 6 young Australians experiencing anxiety in any given year.
It’s fair to say the need for effective mental health tools, such as NeurOptimal ® Neurofeedback, to address these concerns is high. Whilst NeurOptimal ® is not a cure for anxiety or depression, it can be a helpful for managing symptoms and improving overall well-being.
HOW CAN NEUROPTIMAL® BE HELPFUL FOR MANAGING DEPRESSION & ANXIETY?
recognising and dealing with triggers
The system can assist individuals in developing self-awareness of their reactions to particular stimuli and help recondition their brain’s responses by offering real-time feedback on brain activity
Promoting relaxation and calm
By providing real-time feedback it helps you identify and correct patterns of brain activity that are associated with depression and anxiety. Over time, NeurOptimal® can help you to be more calm and relaxed.
Improving emotional regulation
By helping the brain to regulate emotional responses, individuals may experience a greater sense of control over their emotions
Enhancing
sleep quality
NeurOptimal® can help to improve sleep quality by promoting a deeper state of relaxation. Deep sleep is the most important stage for physical and mental restoration and NeurOptimal® can help to enhance the quality, which can lead to improved alertness, mood, and energy levels
Boosting cognitive function
Depression and anxiety can impact cognitive function, including attention and memory.
NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback has been shown to be effective in improving attention and focus, leading to improvements in cognitive function
Non-invasive
and drug-free
Unlike some other approaches that rely on medication or invasive procedures, NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback is safe, gentle, and non-judgmental
Overall, NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback can be a helpful tool for individuals looking to manage depression and anxiety in their lives. It can be used on its own or in combination with other modalities to help individuals achieve optimal performance and wellbeing.
It’s important to note that NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback is not a substitute for other forms of therapy or treatment for depression. However, it can be a helpful tool for managing symptoms and improving overall well-being. Individuals should always consult with a qualified healthcare professional before making any decisions about their treatment plan.
