Help with brain integration
When you are in a state of depression, your non-dominant hemisphere is 75-85 percent shut down. When you are no longer depressed, there are higher levels of electrical activity on both sides of the brain, and your brain is, what we call in Functional Analysis Chiropractic , integrated.
I am not a big fan of EEG biofeedback therapy because it can inadvertently raise certain brain waves - like theta brain waves - too high. Most people with depression have too much theta and/or too much high beta.
The safest and most effective way I have found to improve brain integration is with a system of mind-body fitness called Functional Analysis Chiropractic and Sensory Integration Exercises. I have one fmany patients whom have had a spontaneous remission of life-long manic depression after doing just a couple Functional Analysis Chiropractic Adjustments. Although these techniques were originally developed to help people with Musculoskeletal Issues, they are radically and surprisingly helpful not only for integrating the brain but for uncovering and reversing the psychological self-sabotage programs that lock many people in a state of depression.
