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.

I Love This Ministry!!!!!!! I see first hand how this message is desperately needed, how erroneous beliefs about God and His Character negatively affect humanity at every level. I thank God for your ministry, as I was searching on my own and was discovering some of your same beliefs and was blown away when I found your ministry. I know you hear it all the time, but it is truly life changing. May God continue to reveal His Will to you and Bless you!

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 13

I borrowed “Healing The Mind” DVDs from a friend and showed them at my home for a small gathering of women friends. Neither of my friends are Adventist, but they both enjoyed and embraced the messages you taught. In fact, one of the ladies prayed out loud in our group and that was the first time she had ever had public prayer.

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 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.

Testimony 63

I’ve been very blessed by “The God Shaped Brain” and this ministry, through video and podcast, over the last few years. It’s truly opened up my eyes more to the truth about God and the importance of that truth in the present world. The message is so inviting, freeing and enlightening and MORE people need to know about it. I believe it is the last message that can truly, not only prepare a people for salvation and translation, but vindicate the character of God.

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.

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!

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.

Testimony 69

After reading your book, ‘Could It Be This Simple,’ someone was explaining Christianity in a way that made sense to me for the first time in my life. One morning, I simply prayed “I’m sorry and I love you.” As soon as I silently said that, I could literally feel God’s presence and light flood down on me from above and fill me up with love and joy. I sat there crying my eyes out, because I was so overpowered with this feeling of love and joy. It was just so incredible. I hope that more people can read this book and get a blessing from it. It’s really amazing.

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.

Testimony 25

I just want to say thank you so much for your conversations via YouTube. I regularly tune in to your lectures, “Let’s Talk” sessions, and many others. Through these I’ve found greater depth and meaning to God’s word. Thanks for all that you do and please continue. I’m currently working in the middle of Silicon Valley at Stanford University. I feel like God really has me in the right place right now and I’m sensing that your teachings might be part of it.
