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 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 35

I am so pleased with the response your message is receiving at my church from the middle-aged to the young adults. I have given out 100 copies of the first two seminars and there are more request every week. One of my [class members] came to me after viewing the series, grateful and impressed with how easy the message was retained. He had been a Seventh-day Adventist in fear all his life, and felt like the scales were removed from his eyes after viewing the seminars. I am so impressed by the change I see in members who have received this message, we are in one accord. However, I am sadden by the negative response of the older people. I am verbally attacked anytime I talk about imposed laws, but I believe my mission is to enlightened everyone I can. I watch your Bible Study Class on YouTube every Friday night and I feel like I am apart of the class. All of you are in one accord and I am so blessed to have found you. I pray that all of you continue to spread this message and I am committed to doing my part.

Testimony 68

Your message of design law vs imperial law is so uplifting and makes so much sense- it is a game changer for me. The fact that Jesus’s death is not a big payment by an angry God is , quite frankly, a relief.

Laura G., London, Ontario, Canada

 

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 18

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 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 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 36

Thank you and may God continue to bless you as you share with others the intricacies of how we are all “fearfully and wonderfully made”. I must share that you have opened a whole new world to me, and I have found tremendous healing through what you have shared in two of your books, “Could It Be This Simple?” and “The God Shaped Brain.” I praise God for what you shared, what I have learned, and how I have grown and healed! My prayer is that My Precious Jesus will be seen by others in the way I live, act, talk, etc. and they may be encouraged to know He is truly a GREAT God of LOVE, desiring that no one should perish! God Bless you in your continued endeavors to present Him as He really is!

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.

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 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 6

I got the book “Could It Be This Simple?” a few months ago and the reading was wonderful and I was fascinated. I lent the book to a friend at work. She is having a difficult time and the book is helping her to find Jesus and I found this very exciting. She has asked me questions and I can see her life changing.

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!
