Neurofeedback therapy has been very successful in treating many patients with anxiety disorders and panic attacks. Many patients who begin therapy say that there is no cause for their anxiety attacks. These patients just are not aware of the factors that are initiating their anxiety. Through neurofeedback therapy the patient can learn which factors are triggering their anxiety attacks. Neurofeedback therapy utilizes EEG monitoring to determine what factors are exciting brain activity and indicates this change through a visual or auditory signal that the client and therapist can recognize. Once the triggering factors are realized, then the treatment process to control the reaction to these factors can begin.The reaction in an anxiety attack is a neuro-chemical reaction which can cause cold sweats, rapid heart rate, increased blood pressure, and muscle spasms. This reaction is very similar to the ‘fight or flight’ response seen with any stress reaction. Through neurofeedback therapy the patient will first learn to recognize the triggering factors which they have been overlooking, and begin to control their reaction to these factors.One very important aspect of neurofeedback therapy is recognizing what factors cause the anxiety. The EEG monitoring will indicate when the anxiety begins and the patient and therapist can identify the factors that are causing these attacks. While it may be impossible to avoid all stress inducing factors, by recognizing what they are, at least some can be avoided or at least controlled.

Studies have been conducted which support the claim that people can learn to consciously control autonomic responses of the body. Through the positive reinforcement provided by neurofeedback therapy a patient can learn to alter their response to anxiety triggering stimuli. The therapist can teach the patient to alter their reaction to stress by teaching relaxation techniques, behavior modification, and breathing exercises. Each of these techniques is aimed at reducing the physical and emotional response

What is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)?

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition in which a person has trouble paying attention and focusing on tasks, tends to act without thinking, and has trouble sitting still. It may begin in early childhood and can continue into adulthood. Without treatment, ADHD can cause problems at home, school, work, and with relationships. In the past, ADHD was called attention deficit disorder (ADD).

What are the symptoms?

The three types of ADHD symptoms include:

1. Trouble paying attention. People with ADHD are easily distracted and have a hard time focusing on any one task.

2. Trouble sitting still for even a short time. This is called hyperactivity. Children with ADHD may squirm, fidget, or run around at the wrong times. Teens and adults often feel restless and fidgety and are not able to enjoy reading or other quiet activities.

3. Acting before thinking. People with ADHD may talk too loud, laugh too loud, or become angrier than the situation calls for. Children may not be able to wait for their turn or to share. This makes it hard for them to play with other children. Teens and adults seem to “leap before they look.” They may make quick decisions that have a long-term impact on their lives. They may spend too much money or change jobs often.

Dealing with ADD/ADHD

There is a new approach to to helping both children and adults learn to self-regulate their brain waves to improve their concentration. This educational approach is called Neurofeedback or computerized EGG feedback. Feedback involves

giving information back to a person. The computer conveys information about what the person’s mind and body are doing at a particular moment in time. Are they relaxed and paying attention or tense and tuning out? Feedback lets the person learn. Then they can try to better that state. With 40 to 60 sessions people can acquire the skill of producing brain wave patterns which are associated with focusing and concentrating

Unlike stimulants, Neurofeedback training appears to have a direct long term effect on increasing the child’s ability to remain focused (decreased slow wave activity) and spend extended periods of time concentrating in a problem solving manner (increased fast wave activity). There is a significant decrease in the phenomenon of tuning out (associated with Alpha and/or Theta activity) when the child is expected to be carrying out an assignment or listening intently in class.

In addition, Neurofeedback appears to have a similar effect to stimulants in that it increases the child’s “natural guards” to inhibit or avoid impulsive actions. Children already taking medication can continue while training. In most cases it is possible to gradually reduce the dosage as self regulation is mastered. Frequently the need for medication is eliminated

The Food and Drug Administration approves Neurofeedback as an alternative treatment for ADD/ ADHD. Read more
