Anxiety

Effective anxiety biofeedback therapy for anxiety disorders.

Solving anxiety problems safely without drugs using biofeedback anxiety treatment.

If you suffer from anxiety, an anxiety disorder or frequent panic attacks, you likely have a chronically hyperaroused central nervous system. What causes this? Researchers have found a strong genetic link. But it can also be caused by physical trauma such as a head injury or prolonged stress on the central nervous system.

Chronic anxiety reduces immune system function, impairs memory, creates attention deficits and manifests a variety of physical symptoms that vary from person to person. Anxiety causes an overactive brain that simply “runs” too fast. This effect appears in PET scans and in topographic biofeedback EEG brain-maps. Fortunately, there is one therapy that has proven itself to be the most effective, noninvasive, pain-free and drug-free treatment for anxiety disorders available today.

Neurofeedback anxiety therapy trains the brain to slow down and function more optimally. As the brain becomes accustomed to this more efficient operation, it begins to regulate itself better. Over time, this becomes the default operation. Anxiety symptoms progressively disappear as the newly trained brain normalizes functions.

If you’ve been frustrated in your previous attempts to get help for anxiety, you owe it to yourself to try neurofeedback therapy. Dr. O’Donnell is board-certified in EEG neurofeedback.
