Depression Symptoms

Depression can be a difficult problem to treat in over 35% of cases that are not affected by antidepressant therapies. In this article I am reporting on a case of an elderly individual who had been in a period of Major Depression for over 1 year characterized by insomnia, panic attacks, morbid sense of worry, poor appetite, weight loss, poor concentration, and agoraphobia.

This individual had been receiving the best psychiatric care available from a psychiatrist from a teaching hospital specializing in Mood Disorders. The patient was on, in my view, on the optimal dose of antidepressant needed for more than the adequate amount of time i.e. more than 8 weeks yet was still not well (one usually knows whether or not one is going to respond after about 6 weeks, and after such time with no response the antidepressant is often withdrawn for another or is supplemented with some other agent).

In this case I inquired whether this individual might wish to try to supplement with an entirely new approach which is not well known in the conventional (or much in the naturopathic) medical community. The patient was willing.

This new approach was a new biofeedback device that is able to measure electromagnetic energy imbalances in a person’s electromagnetic field across many (almost 7000) dimensions be they those of vitamins, minerals, proteins, hormone levels etc. It is also then able to send “rebalancing” signals to that person in real time at the same levels.

This individual consented to this process and received two 45 minute sessions over a period of 1 week with this device. After this the patient’s condition changed dramatically.

The patient, following the exercise, recovered normal mood & sleep patterns, had no more anxiety or agoraphobia, had regained a significant amount of emotional and physical energy, was no longer worrying, was thinking more clearly and no longer having panic attacks.

This was over two years ago. The patient has been maintained on bi-weekly to monthly 30 minute sessions of this approach to help stabilize the condition.

The most interesting part about this new device is that the patient did not even have to travel to my office to get this experience. I was able to effect it directly from my office while the patient was at home.
