Depression
Our state of mind is highly dependent on internal and external factors. It is then only natural that our mood fluctuates. We only speak of mood disorders when the mood is no longer in relation to the environment.
What is it?
The most common mood disorders include depression and manic disorders. To meet the criteria for depression, there must be a loss of general interest and a depressed mood for at least 2 weeks.
In depression, changes in activity and connectivity in the brain are observed.
The diagnosis is made by the doctor, psychiatrist or psychologist.
How to treat
Medication and psychotherapy are tried and tested and widely used treatments.
With a drug approach, unpleasant side effects can often occur.
Neuromodulation, such as TMS, has been used for some time and is becoming more and more established in psychiatry.
The effectiveness of TMS forehead stimulations as a treatment for major depression has already been studied and proven in several centers.
TMS has been FDA-approved since 2008 and has since been used as standard therapy, in addition to medication.
The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is usually used as a target, but deeper structures such as the anterior cingulate cortex can also be used as targets. (Vanneste, S., Ost, J., Langguth, B. & De Ridder, D. 2014).
Relatively new forms such as tDCS, tRNs, HD-tDCS and Neurofeedback are also increasingly being used as treatment methods.
Neuromodulation can be combined with cognitive behavioral therapy. This combination appears to have a better effect than when both therapies are performed separately. (Lana Donse, et al. Nov. 2017).
A qEEG can help us determine which neuromodulation technique could have the most effect.
