Aidan’s Journey to Conquer Anxiety, Panic and Depression with Neurofeedback

Описание: Aidan suffered anxiety and depression growing up. He was plagued by negative thoughts, overthinking and panic attacks. He had trouble expressing how he was feeling, and his doctor couldn’t offer any concrete help other than medication.

His doctor deemed his problem “anxiety” and wanted to put him on medication for it. He tried several medications, but they didn’t help.

When COVID-19 hit, his symptoms worsened. He withdrew from college and from life. He spent four months barely leaving his bedroom. The thought of going out of his room triggered panic attacks, some of which lasted as long as three hours. He felt agitated. He overthought “everything,” which in turn triggered more panic attacks.

Then Aidan learned about neurofeedback from a friend, whose mother made an appointment for him to visit the Center for Brain Training. He began training twice a week and did so for several months.

Improvements weren’t instantaneous but rather occurred over time. He noticed he was thinking less negatively and having fewer instances of panic. He gained enough confidence to not only leave his bedroom but to take a job out of state. At the time of the interview, Aidan was back in Florida, pursuing his career dream in the audio-visual field and having no problems with panic.

He occasionally comes by the Center for Brain Training for a “tune-up” session but hasn’t had a panic attack in over a year.
