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 64

I’ve been reading the bible and walking with Jesus since I was around 16. I’m 42 now. I’ve mostly been alone in my walk although I went to several churches in different denominations. For the past 3 years God has been showing me His character of agape. It’s been a blessing and changed how I view God and my walk with Jesus. About a year ago I came across the power of love and the principles of design law. These teachings changed how I read scripture and have been such a beautiful blessing. I’m very excited and grateful for these truths. We share these truths of agape, design law and the reality of the principles of the two trees in the garden of Eden with people on Facebook and YouTube. People all over are learning to trust God and His agape design law which makes life possible. Thank you for everything you shared with me. May God continue to bless your ministry and lives.

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.

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 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 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.

Testimony 73

I have been truly blessed by your blogs and other resources. They have helped me to see things in a much brighter light and to reason things out better. Thank you so much for your ministry. Whenever I have the opportunity I pass along your material to my friends.

Testimony 33

I was invited over a friend’s house to see the “God and Your Brain” seminar today. I became [a christian] 36 years ago at the age of 19, but have struggled with the concept of God taking His ‘pound of flesh’ out on His Son to be appeased. Wow. Your seminar has been an incredible revelation and breath of reason and fresh air! I have your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” and it is SO eye opening. Finally, after 36 years enlightenment has come! Praise the Good Lord! What can I say, but that the Real Gospel is truly “Good News!” Thank you for your efforts in giving the Gospel a clear sound!

Testimony 23

I would just like to add my voice to the many people who, I believe, must have contacted you to express their appreciation for the “Healing the Mind” DVDs. I’ve been listening to your Bible study class discussions for many years and I’ve been personally blessed by your research and teaching about the character of God.

L. G., Oakland, MI, 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 7

Ok, so last night I listened to “The Law of Liberty” and “How to Achieve Victory: Freedom, Truth and Spirtual Warfare.” These are both MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITES so far! The logic is just soooooo beautiful. I had to re-listen to them a couple of times. I just want to EXPLODE! (<< we assume with joy and happiness)

N. B., Canada

 

Testimony 9

I really enjoy with you the view of a gracious God. Thank you for sharing the work you are allowing the Lord to do in you.

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!

Testimony 61

I grew up in a prominent protestant church and had what I like to call religious anxiety. I’ve always had questions about God and Salvation that no one could seem to answer.  I didn’t know how to find resolution. During 2020, at the height of my anxiety, I fell to my knees and begged God to show me truth and light and to give me the hope that I’ve been longing for. Days later, I stumbled upon your online videos and it was like a veil was lifted and EVERYTHING made sense! For the first time in my almost 39 years of life, my religious/spiritual anxiety has lessened. I feel a sense of freedom and peace I’ve NEVER had before… and it’s all because my view of God has changed. Thank 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.

C. F., NC, USA

 

Testimony 66

I am incredibly grateful for the transformative impact you’ve had on my life, and words cannot fully express my appreciation. Over the years, I have been an avid listener and follower of C&R and extend my heartfelt thanks for creating the C&R mobile app. It has allowed me to immerse myself in your lessons repeatedly, enabling me to grasp the profound significance about the Character of God, Design Law, the protocols for life, the reasons behind the current chaos, and Christ’s mission to restore everything. They have deeply touched me. Having studied with various churches, I came away with the perception that God is no different from the deities of ancient Greek or Roman mythology—demanding sacrifices and taking pleasure in bloodshed. Thanks to your transformative teachings, I have experienced a profound awakening to the true nature of God and the immense power of His love. It is truly a remarkable and liberating sensation to finally grasp the truth and embrace the empowering nature of God’s laws. My self-perception has become brighter and more infused with love. My journey of growth continues on a daily basis.
