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 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!

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.

Michael V., Yonkers, NY, USA

 

Testimony 1

Thank you! I love listening to the Come And Reason Ministries Bible study classes and am using some of your notes to get the lessons together that I will be teaching. You always have such good quotes and Bible texts and pull things together to make good sense.

T. C., IN, USA

 

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 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 8

Thank you for the ministry you are sharing with us, it is a real blessing to us and especially to my husband and myself! You are encouraging us to think for ourselves and not just to except everything, without thinking it through, with God’s word!

M.K., USA

 

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 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!

Karen S., Portal, AZ, USA

 

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 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 74

Thank you so much for opening my eyes. I’ve been through a lot of ministries that just didn’t show the love of God that I felt he was. You have helped me to begin the process of true healing. I thought I was “too far gone,” now I know there’s hope in Jesus, because he loves us beyond what we can comprehend. Thank you again for all you do. I truly appreciate it and pray more people find you (physical at your studio and through this website).

Dalio M.

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.

B. F., Silicon Valley, CA, USA

 

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 11

I would love to have a copy of “Healing the Mind” DVDs to have in my therapy office. I enjoy having clients check out materials to enhance their therapy experience. I have sat under Dr. Jennings’ teaching at an American Association of Christian Counselors convention and respect his work greatly.

K.B., LA, USA

 

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
