AD| Three Alternative Treatments For Mental Health Issues
Mental health issues like depression and anxiety affect many parents. The hardship can prevent parents from being the best caregivers they can be. What’s more, this can make you feel even more anxious and stressed than you may already be. However, you are not alone. There is support available.
If you are suffering from mental health issues, getting effective treatment that helps you feel better, happier and more positive is vital for both you and your children.
At Neuro Wellness Spa, they lead the way in pioneering many different alternative treatments for mental health problems. Read below to find out about three of their treatments, and how they could help you to achieve wellness and be the attentive parent you want to be.
1) Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy
TMS is a relatively recent treatment, but it has already proven extremely effective for helping people combat mental health issues like anxiety, depression and OCD.
As a non-invasive, non-systemic treatment, TMS therapy may appeal to those who worry that other stimulation therapies might be too extreme for them.
TMS uses magnetic energy to target the parts of the brain affected by mental health diseases. This magnetic stimulation activates parts of the brain that have become dormant or sluggish. Patients have reported that their symptoms have eased and that they have seen an improvement in their mental health.
On top of this, TMS patients report minimal or no symptoms from the therapy. Because it targets the brain directly rather than entering the bloodstream, TMS doesn’t carry the same symptoms as systemic treatments. There is no impact upon cognitive function, which allows parents to continue their busy daily routine uninterrupted.
2) Ketamine IV Treatment
While it has long been used as an anesthetic, ketamine is now being used for mental health treatment. Ketamine treatment is an intravenous method to relieve the symptoms depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic pain and many other mental and physical ailments. Ketamine IV treatment has proven particularly effective for helping those with conditions that stopped responding to traditional medication or therapies.
Ketamine causes biological reactions in the brain that allow neuron connections to regrow and heal. This is what makes ketamine such a unique treatment. Whereas other medication wears off, so that symptoms return once the drug has left the system, ketamine triggers a biological reaction in the brain’s cortex. This means that the brain experiences healing rather than just temporary relief from the drug.
Ketamine IV treatment is safe, well-established and effective at treating mental and physical ailments and elevating a patient’s mood.
3) Breathwork
Breathwork is a holistic treatment that doesn’t involve any medication at all, besides your natural breath. It can have an amazing effect on your well-being and mental health.
Based on Pranyama Yogic breath, a technique dating back thousands of years, breathwork can be used as a completely safe, natural and efficient treatment for mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety. It helps users make decisions with clarity, and break unhealthy patterns of behavior. It has been shown to help patients achieve a powerful sense of peace, joy, connection and self-love, the perfect state of mind for you to be the best parent for your children.
In individual or group sessions with trained, skilled practitioners, breathwork uses a two-stage breath pattern to establish a sense of calm. This helps you to relax, fostering a deep connection between your mind and your body. Moreover, breathwork sessions can be sensitively tailored according to your individual needs or personal goals you hope to achieve.
This meditative therapy has proven to be extremely effective for treating rauma and other mental health issues. The mind-body connection you will build through breathwork will encourage your mind to process emotions that may have been buried for a long time.
