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 62

I would like to express my thanks to the C&R team for creating a platform from which people can learn to trust in God and grow. My life is a witness to the effectiveness of this ministry. Without believing the truth about God as you have shown, I don’t know what my life would be like. I had given up on God helping me with certain sins – it was all useless. Given that the scripture is clear and God is so good, how could I have betrayed him so many times? I was a yo-yo christian; spinning up and down. My faith and enthusiasm was driven by discoveries/threats that prophecy is about to be fulfilled. But when I watched your “Healing the Mind” seminar, it was like a light finally went on. I could see God had no plan to hurt me, the danger came from sin, and that He is working to protect me and strengthen me. Thank you for allowing God to use you. The message God gave C&R saved my life!

Testimony 15

I have been sharing Come And Reason Ministries Bible study lessons with several folk. You have such a beautiful view of the plan of salvation. If we had this message preached when I was young, my generation would still all be in church.

H. R., New Zealand

Testimony 38

Since November 2015, when I started studying Gods word from this God Is Love point of view, my life has been transformed. My troubled marriage of 15 years has been healed and my husband and I are truly happy for the first time in 15 years. Now When I read the word of God I understand it so much better and I can’t help but see Gods love radiating through the pages to humanity. Gods word is living and active and I am blessed beyond measure to be having this amazing experience. God has given me a beautiful understanding of Jn 3:16 that amazes me more and more each day. Thank you again for your ministry.

Testimony 54

I had a lot of pressure, as a pastor’s kid, to conform and be “good.” I was good at being “good.” I thought my life was going along well until it all started falling apart and I could not figure out why! In my search for “why is this happening to me, God?” I came across your book, “Could it be this Simple,” and God started revealing to me the many distortions I held about His character, His principles, and how He has designed His universe to operate. I remember thinking, “Wow, I have had this all backwards.” I was happy and angry all at the same time. Happy to have the light of truth break through the darkness, revealing a wonderful, beautiful way of understanding God and His plan for His children, and angry, because I felt deceived and cheated by the church, my family, and myself!

My heart thrills when I listen to your bible study lessons. Literally I have gone from death to life. It is a journey I look forward to every day, as God reveals areas this distortion affects. Praise GOD! I will ever be grateful to God for this ministry and your cooperation with the Spirit!

Testimony 70

I have been watching you for many years and have learned to love God with all my heart. I was raised by a loving Christian mother that had been lied to about who God really was, so our religious upbringing was hell fire and damnation. As soon as I was old enough and moved out, I not only left the church, I ran as fast as I could to get away from it. Sad to say, it wasn’t until the past couple of years that I learned and understand who my Father really is and how much He loves me. I understand God’s Design Laws (which make sense) and when I’m teaching my church Bible study class, I’m able to really put to use the things I’ve been learning and Holy Spirit is leading. Thank you for introducing me to my Father of true, pure love. Everyday with Him is new and exciting. One thing that breaks my heart is that I didn’t know Him sooner. God Bless you and your ministry!

Testimony 34

I was introduced to Come and Reason Ministries by accident, via a passing comment made in a bible study class we were visiting. I checked this website out and my life was changed. The understanding of the truth of God’s character, and how we apply it, is so right. The tricky part is consistently applying which “lens” to look through. As I began to understand, I started sharing the basics of this understanding with a discussion group I was leading and, suddenly, a lot of things started to make sense that never used to. At the same time, I enjoyed an amazing opportunity. I was able to conduct a full bible study at WORK! What an amazing experience! It is such a joy to share the truth about God and to share how it all fits in the war between God and Satan. So many people benefit when we have a correct understanding about how God works and who He really is! Thank you for this transformational understanding. Keep up the good work! God Bless you!

Testimony 3

My husband is a pastor and I listen to your lesson almost every week. Thank you for helping me in my study life and to help me love the “real” God more.

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 58

I have been watching your videos in The Power of Love seminar and I must say these have liberated me and have improved my relationship with the Lord. I am no longer terrified of him as I was before following your teachings.

Thando N., South Africa

 

Testimony 44

We were given a gift of the DVD set, “God and Your Brain,” and we just finished watching it. The truths in this are so powerful and truly an answer to a prayer. We’re seeing hope where once we thought God wasn’t answering our prayers to be free of certain mindsets. He answered with these DVDs and we are hungry for more. Thank you!

Daniel T., Easley, SC, USA

 

Testimony 57

You have helped make sense of thirty two years of confusion. The material you freely provide reorganized so much of my life into such a beautiful pattern that has always been hinted at from within, but misguided with my training and what I was experiencing externally. My filipno parents, who were converted from Catholicism to SDA, were sincere and did their best to raise me the right way and I have deep respect for them. However, being immigrants and not understanding the language made for a difficult transition as I was growing up, which also applied to my spiritual growth as I learned the patterns of religion. I have been listening to as many bible study classes and reading blog posts as my time in a work truck will allow, searching for the practical applications of where spirituality and reality meet, and I thank you for helping me find that. You have helped me reach a point in which I can truly say that I love God, that I believe He loves me, and, like David, I delight in His law. God bless.

Emmanuel V., Calgary, AB Canada

Testimony 55

I was born [into the church], then I left it for many years. 10 years ago, I came back, but I could not take the hypocrisy and the lack of answers to the missing pieces. I struggled, but I did not abandon my commitment to know the truth. God is leading me to the simple understanding of his relevance and I am relearning what the church taught me as a youth… that he loves me, that he has led me to a knowledge of him such as I have never known. He is using Dr. Jennings to connect the dots that are now so apparent and hiding in plain sight!

Dean P., Arlington, TX, USA

 

Testimony 59

I’m a native Ghanan, but am currently in France for my master’s degree. Prior to this, during my final years at undergraduate studies in Ghana, I was introduced to your ministry and I’ve been immensely blessed by what you share, especially about the Design and Imposed Laws. God richly bless you for that.

One of the first things I did when I arrived in France was to buy all four of your books. They not only helped me, but those I shared them with. I shared the message with an atheist student and I marveled at how God worked mightily in his life. Today this person shares the Love of God with others and debunks theories of who God is not. I want to share what you present in your “Heavenly Sanctuary and Investigative Judgment” pamphlet, because the message brought rest to my soul and I live today as a healthy person.

God bless you so much and your ministry.

Michael A., Ghana

 

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.”
