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.

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.

My 19 year old daughter is doing neurofeedback and we’re seeing positive results. She’s much calmer (it helps with ADHD) and happier. She has weaned off one of her depression medications and is doing amazing! I’m starting to see her sense of humor return and her desire to get up early and be more productive. We prepaid for 40 sessions, so yes, it’s costly, but the benefits are outweighing any cost - and are permanent. There are lots of studies out there that affirm is effectiveness.

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 did TMS in the summer of 2023. I'm still recovering from the negative effects I had. It set about amygdala based anxiety symptoms that I had never experienced before. Granted, the clinic I had the treatment done at didn't know what to do with me and this treatment was prescribed after a very difficult withdrawal process from Effexor. I was given the option to keep going or stop, being told the anxiety should wear off. It only intensified. I have not found anything helpful in terms of other people who also problems with the treatment. I have found only the "positives." I'm writing this for anyone who is questioning the treatment. Trust your gut if things aren't working and stop. I wish I had that support, but didn't.

@Amanda-il8ks 4 года назад

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

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.

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 . AEven informed consent is a misnomer because no one who has not had it can be informed of the damage it can inflict. Read Peter Breggin's Toxic Psychiatry on this topic.

Who wants to lose their short-term memory (which ECT causes)? It means it will be difficult or impossible to learn & remember every new thing that happens, that you see, that you talk about, that you try to take in with any of your senses!. New procedures at work? Can't remember the steps? You're fired. Meet the new boss, but can't remember what he looks like or what your conversations consisted of? At work, act like a dementia patient? You're fired! Can't remember to pay your bills? You're evicted! Try to keep a secret? Can't keep a friend! Want to memorize your password? No way! Want to learn the words to a song? Forget it! Learn a new language? Not a chance! Definitely try meds, CBT, TMS, Ketamine or esketamine (Spravato®) first. Personally, I'd even chance Deep Brain Stimulation over ECT. The damage done by ECT is down-played by doctors. There is a video on RU-vid about someone who was unrecognizable after ECT that would scare the pants off of you! I'll try to find it & post the link.

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.

@@DrTraceyMarks I believe my depression is situational and that medications and other modalities won’t change my situation. Can you clarify or describe how meds or other modalities can help someone with situational depression and anxiety?

I don’t see how having a “controlled” seizure does anything helpful, I have a movement disorder that is similar to myoclonic seizures. I don’t feel any less depressed when I’m spilling hot coffee or flinging utensils and things across the room.

What about Insomnia. Is there a treatment for insomnia other than CBTI and Neurofeedback? I tried those with no luck. What are your recommendations?

Ect has ruined the lives of two people i know. They dont have any semblance of short term memory. A lot of their old memories have been erased too. I currently do TMS which has conversely, improved my memory. Ect should be fucking outlawed

@gerhardtgoosen2913 Год назад

Any updates on TMS please? I have read recent studies with very high success rates for depression and anxiety and extremely low occurrence of seizures?

There 70 likes Dr. Marks. So your last video you asked how me and my family were doing. We’re doing well thank you for asking how was you and your family doing? I think that ECT therapy would be the most effective treatment but you talk about maintenance in the weeks to come is that for life ? General repair

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.

My daughter’s boyfriend has severe emetophobia, he believes no one can help him and that his case is unique. He refuses to accept that it’s an anxiety disorder. Would any of these work for him?

@Sunshowers902 2 года назад

My advise to everyone, please please please do your research!!! Read up online , look up RU-vid videos and ask real life patients who have had these treatments. Do not just decide to go get these treatments. Unfortunately there can be irreversible damage. Do not believe your doctor or therapist if they willingly advise these treatments. Many will never get them themselves therefore it is easier to lecture. I am not saying some of these treatments don’t help but I will never trust anyone in authority unless I do my own research.

My son developed Neuroleptic induced supersensetivity psychosis. After 1 year of using haldol. Now no medication is working. It makes him psychotic really bad. If we do ECT will it stop sensitivity. Will medication start working again? Or we are just done and there is now way to stop sensitivity

Doctor you should have a talk with your viewers about circumstances of mental health recovery where the individual's sufferings come to where they are lucid enough that they take on the guise of visual metaphors to their possessor's eyes, when Pain gets to the point where the imagination begins to See Manifestation of the frayed nerves

you need to come off your meds first to zero. stay in psych hospital..then after some weeks as inpatient you may need to go back on meds....but theres also the chance your depression could come back....its harsh bt what are the alternatives

Hi Tracey. I took Venlafaxine for only 12 days. And it made my OCD worse. Past thoughts would hammer my head, Brain shakes, and Noise sensitivity, all after Venlafaxine. I am now on Prozac 40mg for 2 months. Will Prozac take away the effects Venlafaxine left on my brain? Also, with Prozac, it will faster metabolize Venlafaxine?

@DrTraceyMarks 5 лет назад

I don't know if Prozac will speed up the metabolism of venlafaxine. Probably not since it tends to be an inhibitor of metabolism. I've had success with Prozac taking away the withdrawal effects but its not guaranteed

@nomans3129 5 лет назад

I took it for Only 12 days. And it gave me brain shakes (while I was on it) brought on by anxiety and thoughts. And intrusive thoughts would hurt my brain all after Venlafaxine. Should I wait it out and tamper of Prozac? Since Prozac won’t help me ?
