I just went to a neurologist who said the best way to cure anxiety without popping xanax or lexapro or lorazepam, is neurofeedback.

basically: sensors are attached to the scalp with eeg paste which then pick up brain waves. It is painless and does not involve the application of any voltage or current to the brain, so it is entirely non-invasive. A computer processes the brain waves and extracts certain information from them. it shows you the ebb and flow of your brain waves, and the specific information it obtains in the form of a video game. they instruct you on how to play the video game using only your brain waves (anyone can do it)

it pretty much trains your brain. there are two parts that run the multiple parts of the brain: biochemical and electrical.

if one changes, the other one changes. neurofeedback trains the brain to control itself and not let anything get out of hand..
think of it like learning how to ride a bike.
it works the same way.
