Has anybody ever used a Alpha-Stim Machine for Depression & Anxiety,and if so whats your feedback?

Im so angry and depressed What can i do?


Answers:    I haven't used Alpha-Stim, but I'm habituated beside EEG base treatments of depression and anxiety. Based on the research published for Alpha-Stim, as capably as the physiology involved, I wouldn't put too much hope within it.

In increment to not showing long possession metamorphose contained by the EEG, most of the research appears to be done by individuals near a considerable financial investment contained by the technology. Further, the generalized character of the electrical stimulation (at the earlobes?) make me doubt the long permanent status worth. That said, ECT uses a similar generalize electrical signal, and does enjoy some results (though through a thoroughly different mechanism).

I'd dally for more empirical research to be done up to that time getting this treatment. All of the currently completed research I could find be pilot studies - typically smaller number than 30 participant, beside minimal follow up work perform. While the studies suggest some promise, they don't prove the value of the treatment contained by any clinically fitting sense.
