Stimulation magnétique transcrânienne : un traitement sans médicament contre la dépression

Stimulation magnétique transcrânienne : un traitement sans médicament contre la dépression

La dépression majeure est une maladie neuro-corps débilitante qui altère les fonctions et constitue l’une des principales causes d’invalidité dans le monde. Lorsqu’une personne est en état de dépression, le réseau et les circuits neuronaux normaux du cerveau ne fonctionnent pas de manière normale et les différents domaines de la vie sont affectés négativement (altérations de la concentration, du sommeil, de l’appétit, de l’énergie, de la motivation, de la capacité à éprouver de la joie, modes de pensée, etc.).

Le cortex préfrontal – la partie du cerveau située derrière le front – est l’endroit où nous réfléchissons, raisonnons, planifions, élaborons des stratégies, priorisons, prêtons attention et modulons notre humeur. Lorsque les gens sont déprimés, le cortex préfrontal est sous-actif, ils ont donc du mal à penser clairement, à se concentrer, à apprendre et à résoudre des problèmes, et ils sont facilement submergés par la vie.

La partie du cerveau située juste derrière le cortex préfrontal, le cortex cingulaire antérieur (ACC), est l’endroit où nous faisons des choix et expérimentons notre sentiment de compassion et d’empathie. Pendant la dépression, l’ACC est également sous-actif, de sorte que les gens ont du mal à prendre des décisions et à se sentir socialement connectés aux autres.

D’un autre côté, l’amygdale, la partie du cerveau où nous ressentons la peur, l’anxiété et l’alarme, est hyperactive pendant la dépression, de sorte que les personnes qui en souffrent se sentent souvent inquiètes, effrayées, mal à l’aise et anxieuses, même sans menaces ou problèmes spécifiques, ou elles exagérera considérablement le niveau des problèmes du monde réel et, par conséquent, s’inquiétera et ruminera plutôt que de résoudre efficacement les problèmes.

Cela ne vous surprendra probablement pas que le traitement le plus courant contre la dépression soit les antidépresseurs. Cependant, même s’il existe de nombreuses personnes pour qui les médicaments ont sauvé la vie, il est également vrai qu’il existe des millions de personnes pour lesquelles les médicaments sont soit inefficaces, soit provoquent des effets secondaires intolérables. Il y a aussi ceux qui ne veulent tout simplement pas que les médicaments pénètrent dans leur corps.

Heureusement, il existe aujourd’hui un traitement alternatif et sans médicament contre la dépression appelé stimulation magnétique transcrânienne (TMS).

Comment ça fonctionne

Le TMS utilise un électro-aimant puissant pour activer les circuits cérébraux sous-actifs afin de ramener le cerveau vers un niveau de fonctionnement non déprimé.

Lors d’un traitement TMS, l’électro-aimant est placé contre le cuir chevelu adjacent au cortex préfrontal ; Ensuite, des impulsions d’énergie magnétique traversent le crâne jusqu’au cerveau. Ces impulsions provoquent le déclenchement (dépolarisation) des neurones du cortex préfrontal et, parce qu’ils sont connectés aux neurones de l’ACC, ils provoquent à leur tour le déclenchement des neurones de l’ACC.

Ensuite, lorsque l’ACC s’active, il envoie un signal apaisant à l’amygdale. En d’autres termes, les traitements TMS ramènent les circuits neuronaux du cerveau vers leurs niveaux de fonctionnement non déprimés.

Diverses données ont démontré que parmi les patients qui n’ont pas pu ressentir un soulagement de la dépression grâce aux médicaments, 68 % obtiennent une rémission de leurs symptômes de dépression grâce au traitement TMS.

À quoi s’attendre

Au cours d’un traitement, un patient recevra généralement trois mille impulsions sur une période de 20 à 30 minutes. Le patient est éveillé tout le temps et il n’y a ni perfusion ni médicament. Une fois le traitement terminé, le patient est libre de partir et de vaquer à ses occupations habituelles sans aucune restriction.

La plupart des gens auront besoin de 30 à 36 traitements TMS pour sortir d’un état de dépression. Une fois sortis de la dépression, leur bien-être peut souvent être maintenu grâce à un seul traitement une fois par mois.

Au cours des deux premières séances, l’effet secondaire le plus courant est un inconfort passager sur le cuir chevelu, là où l’énergie magnétique traverse le crâne. La plupart des gens trouvent que cela devient facilement tolérable après quelques traitements.

La seule contre-indication absolue à ce traitement est la présence de métal magnétisable à l’intérieur de la tête. Cependant, si vous avez été autorisé à passer une IRM, vous serez très probablement autorisé à passer une TMS.

De nombreux régimes d’assurance, dont Medicare, couvrent désormais les traitements TMS, mais vous devrez vérifier auprès de votre assureur particulier. Le prix au comptant varie en fonction de votre région et de votre prestataire, mais varie généralement d’environ 300 $ à 600 $ par traitement.

Il existe une variété d’appareils approuvés par la FDA que les médecins peuvent utiliser pour prodiguer ce traitement. Je préfère le système NeuroStar aux autres. Ils disposent d’une solide équipe de soutien scientifique qui aide les prestataires à trouver des recherches pertinentes et récentes. Leur appareil permet également un traitement plus ciblé et nuancé, et il est actuellement le seul autorisé à traiter les adolescents dépressifs âgés de 15 ans et plus. (Leur appareil est également approuvé pour le traitement du trouble obsessionnel-compulsif.) Vous pouvez trouver une liste des fournisseurs NeuroStar TMS sur NeuroStar Providers.

Enfin, les traitements TMS peuvent être administrés par tout médecin formé à cette procédure. Cependant, je recommande de faire appel à un psychiatre plutôt qu’à un non-psychiatre, car un psychiatre sera en mesure de mieux aborder les autres facteurs qui contribuent à la dépression et pourra généralement proposer une approche plus holistique pour résoudre le problème.

La dépression est une maladie cerveau-corps débilitante qui peut être soignée. Si vous ou quelqu’un que vous connaissez souffrez de dépression, veuillez demander l’aide d’un professionnel. Si vous avez demandé de l’aide et déterminé que les médicaments ne vous conviennent pas, envisagez le TMS comme solution possible. Et si vous recherchez un traitement résidentiel chrétien holistique, pensez à la Honey Lake Clinic.

Testimony 47

I can’t even begin to thank you and your ministry enough for introducing me to the Truth about a loving and merciful God! I have my daughter and her in-laws to thank for sharing with me “The God-Shaped Brain” as well as your website. I listen to the Bible study class lessons on my daily walk. May God continue to bless your thirst-quenching ministry!

Liz H., Port Angeles, WA, USA

 

 

Testimony 10

I personally download and listen to each of Come And Reason Ministries Bible study class lessons and PDF study notes to use when teaching my class. Really appreciate the class especially when Dr. Jennings is teaching. Thank God there are persons like him doing His work and traveling to share His beliefs.

B. L.M., North Plains, OR, USA

 

Testimony 2

I continue to enjoy your lessons every week. The more that I research your conclusions, the more I am convinced that the Holy Spirit has lead you to distill out the essence of human redemption. Thank you for your courageous stand for the truth.

Testimony 40

I was brought up in a different faith and have been petrified my whole life of God. I believed that I would burn in hell for eternity. When I was 12 I started pursuing the things of this world, but for the next 45 years the Spirit was always calling me, as I knew there was a God through nature. I could see the vast sea of stars in the universe and knew there was something bigger out there. Five years ago, through a Revelation seminar, I was blessed to learn about God’s character and government.

Then I found Come and Reason Ministries and have come under some extreme pressure when I speak about the ministry. One time a member sent me an internet article titled “Whats wrong with Tim Jennings?” I asked her what she thought of it and she said “I don’t know, I didn’t read it.”

I have always wanted to find out for myself the truth about God, so I stayed with the Design Law construct and have been liberated to understand the big picture. Once we consider Design Law, all other Bible stories and prophecies seem to fit perfectly. It is truly beautiful to see people grasping how God operates this Universe of Love and the liberation it has provided in their lives. It blows my mind to see how consistent Design law is with what our founders believed. I hear statements like “This makes so much sense.”

Tom W., Mt. Pleasant, MI, USA

 

Testimony 50

After coming into contact with Come And Reason Ministries, I can finally say that many of my unanswered questions have fallen into place. I discovered that my view of God’s Law was “imposed laws and rules” with “imposed punishments” and that this was the major culprit of my many unanswered questions. Thanks be to God for using you and those around you to help us who have struggled with this “infection” of thought. I have now rejected the “imposed law” concept to fully embrace “Design Law”… to look thru “Design Law,” instead of “imposed law,” is a relief.

Testimony 19

I truly believe that to know who God really is the first step to understand ourselves in a balanced and kind way, so the healing can take place. Your approach really makes sense – Thank you for your ministry!

A.M., Pittsburg, PA, USA

Testimony 74

Thank you so much for opening my eyes. I’ve been through a lot of ministries that just didn’t show the love of God that I felt he was. You have helped me to begin the process of true healing. I thought I was “too far gone,” now I know there’s hope in Jesus, because he loves us beyond what we can comprehend. Thank you again for all you do. I truly appreciate it and pray more people find you (physical at your studio and through this website).

Testimony 37

Hearing Dr. Jennings’ presentations in person came at a pivotal moment in my spiritual journey that began about nine months ago, when the fault lines inherent in my belief system began to crack under questions that most reasonable people end up asking about God and His nature. These were questions I couldn’t find answers to, and they shook my faith. I was unable let it go any longer and be satisfied. My Christian experience became distant. I was afraid; the fear in me rose like thorns, pushing me away from Jesus. And then someone heard my questions and introduced me to this ministry, and my life has totally changed.

I can tell you that this new, “present truth” message is far grander and life-changing than when I shifted from being an agnostic and then a nominal Christian. It has radically altered my worldview, because it reveals a God that makes sense. It is a revolution. I believe that Dr. Jennings’ message is the final message that must go to the world. If any message could be called “righteousness by faith,” as abused as that term is by the right and the left, this is that message, because Jennings’ biblical message identifies a God who is different, whose character isn’t an impossible contradiction.

I walk this path now without fear. I see people differently, and the Holy Spirit burns in my heart. Many call Dr. Jennings’ message false and compromising, but it isn’t false, because I’ve seen the fruits within my mind and body. It is not compromising, because in this message is the only road to holiness that makes any sense. No longer do I behold a pagan god who is always angry and suspicious. Instead, I behold a God who is freeing and loving, always working for our good, and giving me every reason to love my enemy even to my own death, just as Jesus pleads with us. God is good.

Anthony L., CA, USA

 

Testimony 52

Your unique way in spreading the truth is what we all need today. Most of us don’t recognize the contamination coming from all the lies and selfishness in the world. Because of our fear of death, we forgot how to live. Lies left and right. I was losing hope and faith, because of so many ideas that are always contradicting each other – so many questions answered by other, more complicated, questions – until I found your channel on YouTube.

You did not just give me answers, you also taught me how to answer new questions that arise in my mind. Now I see things differently. I see God’s mercy, grace, and Love everywhere, in spite of all the chaos that we all have done as humans. I don’t fear death anymore. Accepting the Truth and Love about God is truly a genuine Freedom from all the confusions, sufferings, selfishness, pain, and death.

I just wanted to say, thank you, sooooo much for revealing the real Remedy for our infected life. I have a new hope and now see the world in a different perspective!

Wheinny P., University Place, WA, USA

 

Testimony 31

It was very touching to hear the testimony of your class share how viewing God’s true character has changed their lives. My feelings are the same – there is so much freedom in knowing that God LOVES me – regardless of my… just, REGARDLESS! I’m still blown away by the true gospel, the fact that God is not ready to strike us when we fail. He is not arbitrary. He simply loves us and warns of the natural consequences because He can’t stand to see us suffer. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS GOD!!!

Ceil V.,  UT, USA

 

Testimony 26

Your teachings about our heavenly Father have changed my life. Thank you sooooooo very very much! I know He’s doing some serious healing in my heart and life and I look forward to each new day to learn something new about Him and to just hear you speak about Him. Thank you, forever.

Nancy S.

 

Testimony 48

I just want to tell you how blessed I have been reading “The Remedy!” It has become a daily part of my devotional relationship with God. In it I have found a God of love and a God that loves me! The bible has come alive for me! It is the first time that I can say that I have felt hope fill my heart as I have read God’s word. This is good news I can share! Thank you, Dr Jennings! Thank you for your heart for others. I can’t put into words how this has set me free! It has strengthened my trust and love for God.

Testimony 39

[This ministry is the] biggest blessing I have ever received! Your DVDs and lessons could not have come at a better time in my life. I have experienced in the past year many difficulties that, if it wasn’t for this wonderful view of God that I have discovered through this ministry, I would not have been able to respond in love and forgiveness. My heart is being transformed everyday by the Calvary-looking God you teach. Hallelujah!! I have tears in my eyes as I write, because my life has taken a complete turn from where I was heading.

I am from Central America. Most of my family is scattered in different parts of the world and all have the same view of God that I had growing up; a distant, exacting, and ready-to-punish-us-with-tragedy type of God. So, I have been translating lessons for my family and, to my surprise, they have also been sharing them with others! I can already see the difference. My brother has often said, “Thank you for sharing, I have never heard it this way!” My other family members are taking an amazing turn from a message of “repent or burn” towards a loving God, pleading to us that we won’t reject him because he loves us eternally.

Bless you for all you do.

Sofia S., Ashfield, MA, USA

 

Testimony 76

Warm greetings from Tanzania! I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and your team at Come And Reason Ministries for the amazing work you do. Your teachings have opened my eyes to deep biblical truths and how to live them out in real life. I started following the ministry back in 2018, and ever since, my walk with God has grown so much stronger. I’ve found freedom from fear-based faith and now live with more peace and trust in Him. I’ve also been sharing what I’ve learned, especially through Bible School discussions. Your lessons are so insightful and well-explained that I try not to miss a single one. May God continue to bless the work you’re doing.
Elisha M., Tanzania, Africa

Testimony 18

The Healing the Mind DVD set tarted me on a journey that has changed my relationship with our loving God more significantly than any other study, and brought me to your book and Bible study podcasts, which I now listen to daily, thanks to the availability of archived content on your site and on iTunes.
