- How can we most effectively treat mental illness? According to clinical brain engineer Dr. Alik Widge, the key to restoring patients’ quality of life lies in restoring and synchronizing rhythms of neural communication through deep brain stimulation. Learn how innovative technology is changing how we understand the brain changes that lead to mental illness and how to successfully treat it.
Filmed August 7, 2021 at La Doña Cervecería in Minneapolis. With his research and specialized medical training, Alik Widge, MD, PhD is a mental health pioneer. With a background in computer science, biomedical engineering and psychiatry, his life’s work is to develop new technologies to treat severe and treatment-resistant mental illness. He hopes to both improve individual patients’ quality of life, and also improve the quality of clinical neuroscience research around the world. Widge’s goal is to develop next-generation technologies and early interventions that will be safe and effective for humans seeking help. His recent work has demonstrated new algorithms for closed-loop brain stimulation and other methods for rewiring the circuits within that are connected to mental illness. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
This is great. People really need this
Amazing explanation!!
This should be bigger than what it is .....this Ted wasn't viewed by enough people
Need this for my OCD
This guy needs to learn about spiritual awakening.
There are several problems I would like to point out regarding the method intruduced here:
1. This completely ignores new research that shows that many mental illnesses can be caused by infections, autoimmunity, a flawed gut microbiome as well as by certain genes and mutations.
Or putting it differently: This is a treatment rather than a cure for most people with mental illnesses and it might not even work in certain people.
2. It does not help with correlated diseases. (For instance, people with schizophrenia have a dramatically higher chance of suffering from autoimmune hepatitis or severe infection (e.g. higher death risk with Covid) and the technique shown here will not decrease the risk of autoimmune hepatitis nor will it have an extreme impact on mutations in genes related to your immune system.
3. It is highly complex and will take an enormous amount of time until it can be implemented in praxis.
4. It might coast you (or the society you live in) a fortune.
5. People are highly vulnurable for being hacked or to put it simple: The dark side of this technology would be that it could be used for torturing people in prisons or as a way to interrogate them.
How can I cure my skitzophrenia bro weed caused it
@@Slidehhy two years after, it's possible for you to recover. It's called tdcs, a small non invasive electrical device. Combine it with sincere prayers.
