  • This video is about the devices and procedures we use in psychiatry to treat certain illnesses. We call these neuromodulation devices. There are called this because they work by directly stimulating the brain to get their effect. The devices or procedures I’m talking about today are transcranial magnetic stimulation or TMS, electroconvulsive therapy or ECT, vagus nerve stimulation or VNS, neurofeedback and trigeminal nerve stimulation system or eTNS.

    ECT is totally the brain version of "have you tried turning it off and back on again." But turning a brain off and back on again has risks because brains weren't built for that.

    I’m going on my 6th session for direct neurofeedback for anxiety, depression/dysthymia and I’m happy to say it’s been working for me. I started to see improvements after my 3rd session (some tweaking was needed in the 2nd session) for mood, energy and just overall calmer. I’m fortunate I have work benefits that helped cover a portion of the treatment or I may not have paid past 3 treatments to not see any improvements. So happy to actually feel grateful to have some relief and hopeful for more permanent results paired with talk therapy. For those still struggling, please take my word and don’t lose hope ❤️

    I've had ECT treatments twice. They never worked on me, I was at the time treatment resistant to almost every medication they've treated me with. Not only was I already triggered by hormonal changes from birth, I slipped into a non-functioning postpartum depression. In out the hospital every month for a year. Was also being treated with antidepressants that caused me to be stuck in suicidal ideation. Several overdoses attempted per year for several years. ECT took my memories permanently, they did too many sessions. My Dr went on vacation before my total sessions he said no more than two more, the doctor in his place did 4 more. It never budged my mood or depression. I also have had TMS but in much less treatments than someone with unipolar depression gets. I'm aware it's not FDA approved for bipolar depression but it was a last resort experimental thing and and it was the miracle treatment to my bipolar depression until I could no longer stomach my latuda and came off of my combination that kept me stable after treatment. In 2009 or 2010 I was offered TMS as a trial and refused because of my horrible experience with ECT, had I gotten it then, I could have changed my life sooner and ended alot of years being consistent in mental he'll. My diagnosis is, bipolar 2 with ultra rapid cycling with mixed episodes, PMD, SAD, anxiety, BPD, PSTD so yes I'm very resistant to many medications and treatments. First unipolar episode onset at 9, first hypomanic episode at 15, stays in a very agonizing depressive state been in consistent treatment since age 19, also diagnosed bipolar 2 at 19, I'm currently 45. It's a miracle I'm still here.

    Thanks for sharing this video, Dr. Marks. It's good to know that there are alternatives offered to regular medications that are usually prescribed. It would be great if you might be able to cover the PONS device offered by Helius corporation. This device was approved in Canada for use for balance/gait issues, however, it has been shown to be incredibly effective for PTSD, trauma, MS patients, stroke patients, speech and balance impairment along with many other benefits. The PONS device is also a neuromodulator and is non-invasive, and appears to be a device that could help so many people who are struggling with issues that affect the brain.

    Neurofeedback changed my life. After dealing with general anxiety for many years... I was miserable and just wanted to die. Every day I thought "this is the day I'm going to end my life"... then I didn't have courage to do it, it was exhausting. Therapy and medication didn't work. I can't even explain how much my life has changed. I'm at peace now. I'm finally at ease.

    I underwent 12 sessions of ECT in late 2017 for major depression (9 unilateral ultra brief & 3 bilateral brief pulse). They stopped administering it when I didn’t know my treating doctor. All it did is leave me with 3 months of memory loss which remains & executive function deficit. It is completely barbaric & I would argue that the neurogenisis & increased blood flow seen post treatment is due to brain damage. Never again!

    I have been wanting to know about neurofeedback for a while and this helps. I have bp2 disorder, and I would just love to be cured of it. But it seems like all there is to do is just learn to manage it. Similar to all mental health problems. I don’t understand why there is so much stigma with mental health. the brain is a powerful organ, and it’s more glamorous than cardiac function for sure. With mental health we blame the victim, like it is some form of moral defect. Dr Marks thank you for these videos. I really enjoy them and feel they have helped me tremendously. Many thanks. Susan

    I have a VNS to treat my epilepsy and tbh it’s great. I have depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder. Since having my first one implanted in 2015 my epilepsy has gotten a lot better. I went from having seizures a couple times a month to being seizure free for two years next month. Now, with my depression it has made a HUGE improvement because my seizures are triggered by emotional stress. Since I don’t have much emotional stress anymore, I DONT GET SEIZURES!! I love it.

      I am good thank you. Having a busy summer. There may be some people who move to monthly sessions for life but I don’t think that’s the usual. remember The illness is episodic. There are people who can have chronic symptoms that don’t seem to resolve but you can have periods of remission that last months to years.

      When I had TMS, it helped tremendously, so much that I loosely in parentheses call it my cure. No it's not a cure. But for someone who've been mostly stuck in and out of rapid cycling bipolar depression for over 15 years, I'm talking about a depression that wouldn't budge. After my TMS treatments my doctor stopped them and asked how much improved did I feel. The first day after last session I felt 60 percent better and that number continue to increase over the next two weeks until I was feeling almost 100 percent better. TMS was my miracle. I have bipolar depression it's very difficult to treat if you have unipolar depression I definitely recommend, especially if it worked for me. ECT has a better success rate and it failed me miserably.

    The problem with TMS is psychiatrists will only treat patients with mood disorders and that's it. Try to find a psychiatrist that will treat a patient with migraines and has major medication hypersensitivity. They will not treat you at all. Psychiatrists in my opinion are the worst allopathic/osteopathic doctors in the world who only treat mood disorders, have no idea what the long-term term effects of the medication they prescribe, nor understand the relationship of the brain with the rest of the body. For anybody who wants to give me flack, please tell me anytime a psychiatrist actually gave you an exam or did any diagnostic testing before giving medication. They don't and will also take no responsibility from any side-effects from the medication they prescribe.

    I don't think that psychiatrists should prescribe ECT unless they undergo it themselves to see how much damage it can cause .

    • @DrTraceyMarks
      @DrTraceyMarks  4 роки тому

      I don’t know the typical dose for Lyrica. I’m not sure if there’s a typical yet it’s not widely used enough to have an established recommended dose. As for Zyprexa it’s also not widely used for anxiety. So you use what works. But if you use it for anxiety we usually start at the lower doses like 2.5 or 5.

    • @pocoeagle2
      @pocoeagle2 4 роки тому +1

      I use Lyrica for chronic pain. I'm from nature high on anxiety in general. To my surprise I felt less anxious and more relaxed in social situations in using Lyrica. It's also used for people with general anxiety I understand now. I started with the lowest dose and slowly build it up to the highest, witch is 2 times a day 300 mg. That's very much and in the first months I really had to get along with the side effects. Mostly feeling sleepy and headaches in the morning. I feel much better. Less pain, but emotional also very less an anxious person.
      So like Dr. Marks says you have to just try it to see how many mg you need to feel if it helps you. If I were you I should try to start with 2 times a day 75mg Lyrica.
      I don't know anything about Zyprexa. Good luck Sam 😃
