Tomorrows Neurotherapy Tech Tears down Yesterdays Mental Health Stigmas
“There is such a stigma associated with mental health, it carries around so much baggage, it implies that you are broken or that you are sick. We see it completely different. When you look at the brain and you can see parts of the brain that are not working as well as it should, it’s no different from your body. If you have shoulder injury you are going to go to a physical therapist to work through it to get your arm working as best as you can. That’s how we think of Neurocore, you come to Neurocore to work on your brain.”
-Mark Murrison, Chief Executive Officer at Neurocore
Neurocore’s Incredible Gains in Brain Training
Mark raises a good point. The baggage that is associated with Mental Health issues is not only counter-productive but is also based on a less than perfect scientific understanding of these disorders. Since the introduction of ECG monitoring, neurotherapists have exponentially increased our knowledge of how irregularities in brain waves can have a huge impact on one’s mental state. Companies like Neurocore are working in and developing applied neuroscience to bring drug-free alternatives to treatment for clinical depression, anxiety, sleep issues, migraines, and ASD.
So how does one type of treatment address such a wide variety of mental health issues? Afterall the brain is as unique as the individual it belongs too. Neurocore identifies the personal characteristics of their client’s brains through advanced qEEG technology to figure out where your brain excels and where it has room to improve. But this is only the beginning, Neurocore also tracks your heart rate variability to find out how your brain is dealing with certain stimuli. Once your personal brain information is monitored, Neurocore clinicians will use their proprietary database to match up your results with thousands of other qEEG results. This gives clinicians a framework of how to approach bettering your mind for whatever life throws at you.
The primary Neurocore method of treatment involves neurotherapy which is essentially a reward system for your brain that activates when the brain is creating optimal brain waves.
Getting to work in applied neuroscience every day is giving Neurocore clinicians a better idea of the inner workings of the brain than any previous generation of scientist. With a renewed idea of what causes brain irregularities, it is about time that we as a country re-evaluate the stereotypes and stigmas associated with such mental health conditions.
Here are some tips that can help you and the people around you re-think what it is to live with a mental health condition: Speak openly about mental health; stay informed; think of mental illnesses along the same lines of physical illnesses; Be conscious of the language you associate with mental illnesses; Show compassion for those who are living with a mental illness; be honest with yourself about symptoms and treatment; empower the people around you with up to date information.
Founded in 2004, Neurocore Brain Performance Centers focus on providing data-driven, brain-based assessments and training programs that help people who suffer from mental health issues and those looking to harness the power of their brains.
