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 12

I have been really blessed reading your response to the various questions on your site.

K.C., OH, USA

 

Testimony 29

Thank you for all of your work to correct misconceptions about God’s character. So many people that my husband and I have talked to seem to be against the natural law construct and view it as “errant” and “dangerous.” Having learned more about it through your blogs and lessons, I don’t really understand why they view it that way, except that it means they have to relearn theology they have known for their entire lives. But I’m so excited to relearn this. For the past few years I have been questioning how I could trust a God who punishes arbitrarily and is full of wrath for those who don’t obey His commands. That view made me afraid to “mess up” or “not be good enough,” even within my relationship with God. I really appreciated the point you bring out about God not wanting us to serve Him because we are afraid, but because we love Him.

Testimony 43

Two years ago I stumbled upon your book, “Could It Be This Simple,” and then found “The God-Shaped Brain” videos on YouTube, your bible study class, and the ‘Come And Reason’ mobile app. I shared your book with a friend and after nine months of showing love, patience, and kindness this person has been changed by the love of God, too. The same love that healed me, I now express to other women in tangible ways, such as to a Baptist woman with high anxiety and childhood trauma. She was extremely happy and relieved when I shared about the so-called “judgment of God” and burning in hell. She had no desire to serve a God that was so harsh. I have repeated the phrase dozens of times to her. “What we believe has power over us, but we have power over what we believe…”

This message that you are sharing has changed my life. I will continue to serve other women and bring this message of God’s healing love to their lives by sharing your books, YouTube videos, and The Remedy Bible app. Keep up the good work. Don’t be discouraged. God is doing a mighty work in and through this ministry!

Testimony 46

Over the past couple of years God has been expanding my view of Himself and His character. Along my approximately 40-year journey, I have often had questions, but was hesitant to voice these and step outside the traditionally accepted thinking, for fear of admitting that I may in fact be eternally lost. In the recesses of my thinking has been the thought – if one blindly accepts (which is widely regarded as “real faith”) and does not question, is this really ‘truth?’ I often find it challenging to grapple with very theological ‘speak,’ but Dr. Jennings has a real gift of explaining spiritual concepts with clear practical examples. The weekly discussions are growing my Christian experience and slowly changing my view of how to live as a child of God in today’s complex world. Finally the whole Old Testament sanctuary teaching moved in my mind from fantasy to reality!

Beverly S., South Africa

 

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!!!

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 65

I have been tuning into your weekly study classes for a while now and wanted express my appreciation for the teachings that ha been a huge blessing in opening up the true message of the word. Viewing scripture under an imposed law theory always, without fail, raised more questions, concerns, and conflicting scripture interpretations that were discouraging at the very least. Looking at scripture through the design law lens has brought more truth to light for me personally and an understanding of our Heavenly Father that places Him “above all others,” where I am now more than thrilled to witness and serve Him.  I “stumbled” across this ministry a year or so ago and would only watch a few minutes at a time. But the more I listened and the longer I paid attention, the more my spiritual eyes were opened to the ever present truths of scripture. The comprehension of the great controversy and it’s origin by the lies perpetrated and perpetuated throughout the Bible on the attack of God’s character and government is truly priceless. Keep up the Good Work! Your servanthood is desperately needed in such a time as this!

Jeff D., Reading, MA, USA

 

Testimony 22

I have found your Bible study class lectures to be very inspiring and useful as I prepare to teach class every other week. I subscribe to the podcast and download your notes on the weeks I teach. The audio and notes are such a great help in preparing. My own understanding of God’s character has grown as I teach the class. Commendations on the thought-provoking and well-prepared material Come and Reason provides. Personally, I get excited by the tie you make between the spiritual and mental/physical domains.

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.

Testimony 17

The blessings of clarity and understanding you and your class inspire me to take from the word of God have impressed upon me so greatly the true, loving character of our Creator. I have found amazing freedom and joy through building a stronger, more intentional relationship with Him. What is new is that this is now a relationship built on love, reverence and respect rather than fear and obligation, and as such my eyes have been slammed OPEN as I am continually impressed by the manifestations of God’s true character in His provisions for fallen man.

T.E.H., Salt Lake City, UT, USA

 

Testimony 45

I have been confused for years about what [christianity] calls [its] most disgusting teaching. It has never made much sense to me and for that reason has been evermore empty. I have listened to your class off and on and have struggled determining what is truth, because of the resistance design law encounters in the church. So, I thank God for your ministry. What you teach makes sense. It’s logical and backed up by the power of love. I have never seen that in Christ until now. I am astounded by the insight that is found when we look at God’s ministry through design law. All strength to this message, as I believe it to be the power of God.

Brendon S.

 

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!

Judy Phelps, Reno, NV, 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.

S. G., TX, USA

 

Testimony 27

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!
