TMS, neurofeedback, nootropics, and cognitive optimization therapies
How NAD+ relates to depression through mitochondrial energy production, sirtuin activation, and neuroinflammation. Current evidence, practical considerations, and who may benefit.
At a Glance TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) uses magnetic pulses to modulate neural activity in targeted brain regions. For anxiety, the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is the primary target, using inhibitory low-frequency protocols. TMS is FDA-cleared for major depressive disorder (2008) and OCD (2018), but not specifically for generalized anxiety disorder. Anxiety symptoms frequently…
Deep TMS targets the overactive brain circuits driving OCD using the BrainsWay H7 coil. Learn how it differs from TMS for depression, the symptom provocation approach, response rates, and how it compares to ERP therapy and medication.
From triptans to the newest CGRP-targeted therapies, this guide covers every major class of migraine medication. Learn how acute and preventive treatments work, their side effects, and how to choose the right approach.
At a Glance TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment for depression that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate underactive brain circuits. Success rates are impressive: 56-60% of treatment-resistant depression patients respond, and 30-35% achieve full remission. Best candidates: people who have failed 1-2 antidepressants but do not have psychotic features or active seizure…
Hemiplegic migraine causes temporary weakness or paralysis on one side of the body, mimicking a stroke. Learn about the two types, genetic factors, how doctors distinguish it from stroke, and current treatment options.
Biofeedback gives you real-time data on your body’s stress responses and teaches you to control them. Here’s how different types of biofeedback work for anxiety, what the research says, and how to get started.
At a Glance TMS and ketamine both treat depression through fundamentally different mechanisms, magnetic brain stimulation versus NMDA-receptor modulation. Ketamine works faster (hours to days), while TMS effects build gradually (2-6 weeks) but tend to last longer without ongoing treatment. TMS is better covered by insurance and has fewer systemic side effects. Ketamine (especially IV)…
TBI and concussion explained: classification, secondary injury cascades, post-concussion syndrome, HBOT, neurofeedback, NAD+, ketamine, and recovery timelines.
A comprehensive guide to migraine covering types, triggers, root causes, conventional treatments, and regenerative approaches including ketamine, TMS, neurofeedback, NAD+, and evidence-based supplements.
