Anxiety and Depression causing you grief?
Research on neurofeedback has demonstrated promising outcomes, though the level of evidence varies based on the specific condition being addressed. Here is a summary of findings on neurofeedback’s impact on anxiety and depression:
Effectiveness: Various studies indicate that neurofeedback can significantly reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. It enhances mood and emotional regulation by teaching the brain to better manage stress and emotional responses.
Support: Existing research supports the use of neurofeedback as an effective adjunct therapy for mood disorders. Particularly, panic and generalized anxiety disorders respond favorably to biofeedback and neurofeedback. Alpha Theta training, a specific type of neurofeedback, is especially effective for these conditions.
These conclusions are detailed in the “Evidence-Based Practice in Biofeedback and Neurofeedback, 4th edition,” published by the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB).
