Transkraniale Magnetiese Stimulasie – ‘N Dwelmvrye Behandeling Vir Depressie

Transkraniale Magnetiese Stimulasie – ‘N Dwelmvrye Behandeling Vir Depressie

Ernstige depressie is ‘n aftakelende brein-liggaamsiekte wat funksie benadeel en is een van die grootste oorsake van ongeskiktheid wêreldwyd. Wanneer ‘n persoon in ‘n toestand van depressie is, funksioneer die brein se normale neurale netwerk en stroombane nie op die normale manier nie en word die verskillende domeine van die lewe negatief beïnvloed (verswakte konsentrasie, slaap, eetlus, energie, motivering, vermoë om vreugde te ervaar, denkpatrone, ens.).

Die prefrontale korteks – die deel van die brein agter die voorkop – is waar ons dink, redeneer, beplan, strategeer, prioritiseer, aandag gee en bui moduleer. Wanneer mense depressief is, is die prefrontale korteks onderaktief, so hulle vind dit moeilik om helder te dink, te fokus, te leer en probleme op te los, en hulle word maklik oorweldig met die lewe.

Die deel van die brein net agter die prefrontale korteks, die anterior cingulate korteks (ACK), is waar ons keuses maak en ons gevoel van deernis en empatie ervaar. Tydens depressie is die  ACK ook onderaktief, so mense sukkel om besluite te neem en om sosiaal verbonde aan ander te voel.

Aan die ander kant is die amygdala, die deel van die brein waar ons vrees, angs en verontrusting ervaar, ooraktief tydens depressie, so lyers sal dikwels bekommernis, vrees, ongemak en angs voel, selfs sonder spesifieke bedreigings of probleme, of hulle sal die vlak van werklike kwessies aansienlik oordryf, herbeleef en dus bekommerd wees eerder as om probleme effektief op te los.

Dit verbaas jou waarskynlik nie dat die mees algemene behandeling vir depressie antidepressante is nie. Alhoewel daar baie mense is vir wie medikasie lewensreddend was, is dit ook waar dat daar miljoene is vir wie medikasie óf ondoeltreffend is óf ondraaglike newe-effekte veroorsaak. Daar is ook diegene wat net nie medikasie in hul liggame wil hê nie.

Gelukkig is daar vandag ‘n alternatiewe, dwelmvrye behandeling vir depressie genaamd Transkraniale Magnetiese Stimulasie (TMS).

Hoe dit werk

TMS gebruik ‘n sterk elektromagneet om die onderaktiewe breinbane te aktiveer om die brein te herstel na ‘n nie-depressiewe vlak van funksionering.

Tydens ‘n TMS-behandeling word die elektromagneet teen die kopvel langs die prefrontale korteks geplaas; dan beweeg pulse van magnetiese energie oor die skedel na die brein. Hierdie pulse veroorsaak dat die neurone in die prefrontale korteks vuur (depolariseer) en omdat hulle aan neurone in die  ACK gekoppel is, veroorsaak dit op hul beurt dat die neurone van die  ACK vuur.

Dan, wanneer die  ACK aktiveer, stuur dit ‘n kalmerende sein na die amygdala. Met ander woorde, TMS-behandelings herstel die brein se neurale stroombane terug na hul nie-depressiewe vlakke van funksionering.

Verskeie data het getoon dat van die pasiënte wat nie verligting van depressie deur medikasie kon ervaar nie, 68 persent remissie van hul depressie simptome bereik deur TMS-behandeling.

Wat om te verwag

Tydens ‘n behandeling sal ‘n pasiënt tipies drieduisend pulse oor ‘n tydperk van 20 tot 30 minute ontvang. Die pasiënt is die hele tyd wakker, en daar is geen intraveneuse of orale medikasie nie. Sodra die behandeling verby is, is die pasiënt vry om te vertrek en sonder enige beperkings met hul roetine-sake voort te gaan.

Die meeste mense sal 30 tot 36 TMS-behandelings benodig om hulle uit ‘n toestand van depressie te kry. Sodra hulle uit depressie is, kan hul welstand dikwels een keer per maand met ‘n enkele behandeling gehandhaaf word.

Vir die eerste paar sessies is die mees algemene newe-effek kortstondige ongemak op die kopvel waar die magnetiese energie die skedel kruis. Die meeste mense vind dit word maklik binne ‘n paar behandelings verdra.

Die enigste absolute kontraindikasie om hierdie behandeling te ontvang, is om magnetiseerbare metaal in ‘n mens se kop te hê. As jy egter gekeur is om ‘n MRI te kry, sal jy heel waarskynlik vir TMS gekeur word.

Baie versekeringsplanne, insluitend Medicare in Amerika, dek nou TMS-behandelings, maar jy sal met jou spesifieke diensverskaffer moet gesels. Kontantpryse wissel na gelang van jou streek en verskaffer, maar wissel gewoonlik van ongeveer $300 tot $600 per behandeling.

Daar is ‘n verskeidenheid masjiene wat deur die FDA goedgekeur is wat dokters kan gebruik om hierdie behandeling te verskaf. Ek verkies NeuroStar se stelsel bo ander. Hulle het ‘n sterk wetenskaplike ondersteuningspan wat verskaffers help om relevante en onlangse navorsing te vind. Hul toestel maak ook voorsiening vir meer gefokusde en genuanseerde behandeling, en dit is tans die enigste een wat goedgekeur is om depressiewe adolessente van 15 jaar en ouer te behandel. (Hul toestel is ook goedgekeur vir die behandeling van obsessief-kompulsiewe versteuring.) Jy kan ‘n lys van NeuroStar TMS-verskaffers by NeuroStar Providers vind.

Laastens kan TMS-behandelings toegedien word deur enige dokter wat opgelei is om die prosedure te doen. Ek beveel egter aan om ‘n psigiater eerder as ‘n nie-psigiater te soek, aangesien ‘n psigiater ander faktore wat bydra tot depressie beter sal kan aanspreek en oor die algemeen ‘n meer holistiese benadering kan bied om die probleem op te los.

Depressie is ‘n aftakelende brein-liggaamsiekte wat behandelbaar is. As jy of iemand wat jy ken met depressie sukkel, soek asseblief professionele hulp. As jy hulp gesoek het en vasgestel het dat medikasie nie reg is vir jou nie, oorweeg TMS as ‘n moontlike oplossing. En as jy holistiese Christelike residensiële behandeling soek, oorweeg Honey Lake Clinic.

Testimony 27

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 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 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!

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 49

I came into the church at 21, but that is as far as it went. I was so confused about what love is. I couldn’t find it in the bible, because I am not a person that can read between the lines. I have no logic. I have read many, many books; trying to figure out the crux of the matter. They were helpful, but something was still missing. I have become very frustrated to the point of crying out to God, “Where can I go?”  I needed some basics.

I found two books, written by Timothy Jennings, MD, to be very helpful. God showed me that I had lived my whole life in fear. I didn’t even see it. Now, I do. God is so good.  I discovered the “The Remedy”  Dr. Jennings new book, “The God-Shaped Heart!” Oh, I was so excited, I purchased them right away.

I can get rid of most of my books, because “The Remedy” brings the Love of God out so clearly, even I can’t miss it. Now, I want to sit and read my Bible. Wow, what a revelation! It is just simply Awesome! I am so grateful to Jehovah Almighty for hearing my prayer for more understanding! I am so encouraged!

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 20

I just wanted to personally thank you for your teachings and insight into scripture. I came across your website via my cousin who suggested I look into “Healing the Mind” information. My youngest daughter has been struggling over the last couple of years and it all came to a head this spring. When I started listening to the “Healing the Mind” lectures my own life began to be transformed. I began sharing with all my daughters the concepts you laid out so clearly. I ordered your book and soaked it up. I just want to say “Thank You!” My walk with the Lord has been refreshed and renewed. Your obedience to the Lord is a blessing to so many.

Testimony 71

When I was 9 years old, I remember setting at our devotional table with a hunger and thirst for God that wanted more, deeper, BETTER. I can remember literally crying and pounding on the table, “I know these teachers didn’t mean to give us error. They taught what THEY had been TAUGHT, but didn’t ANYBODY READ THE BOOK?!?!?” It mattered to me then. It mattered to me as a teenager. It matters now as I teach bible classes. It didn’t have to be so hard as I watched so many give up and lay God’s great plan and gift of salvation aside as being “impossible.” Then, a friend sent me a link to Come And Reason’s website. I grew excited. YES! FINALLY! Then another friend told me to stay away, saying her son had just broken up with a girl because she was involved with Come And Reason and that “Tim Jennings preaches a false gospel.” But, AFTER many years of developing an authentic and, dare I say FUN relationship with Jesus, through the Holy Spirit I see this message has been around a LONG time, since the apostle Paul, Ellen White, Graham Maxwell, Ray Foucher, and yourself (though I admit, you’ve made me back up, rewind and replay the clips, and get out my well-worn Bible on a few things.) I’m so thankful I have found LIGHT during these DARK days. I am not alone.

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 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 56

I cannot thank you enough for opening my understanding to the beautiful truth of God’s Law of Love and how it applies to everything. I have been a Christian for over forty years, but I feel like I am only now seeing with my eyes open. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

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 42

I am just writing to say that I have been so blessed by the teachings of Come And Reason Minitries recently. I watched last week’s bible study lesson on Youtube and am thankful that the error in the printed lesson guide you use was pointed out and this week’s study was of equal benefit, if not more so. My understanding of God’s nature has been very confused of late and I am so grateful for clarity in this matter. I have never really fully understood previously how a good God can cause bad things to happen and now I realise that He doesn’t, it’s a natural consequence of sin. May the almighty Father and His Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ, continue to bless your ministry.

Laura P., United Kingdom

 

Testimony 41

I have been blessed by your ministry. I have experienced personally, and deeply resonate with, the God of love and the beautiful picture of God’s character that you present. I have seen your seminar series on YouTube, read ‘The Journal of the Watcher’ book, used your mobile app, and also listen/study the bible study lesson with you each week. I concur with many of the thoughts and perspectives that you share. I understand your conclusions on natural laws vs imposed law and the legal/penal substitution (incorrect diagnosis). This makes perfect sense to me.

Bless you for all you do.
