Question:
New In-Home Treatment Program for Depression. . .?
Answer:
The Alexandria Medical Institute has developed an innovative program for
treating patients suffering from Depression in their own homes under
daily medical supervision.
The Alexandria Medical Institute is a world leader in the use of
NeuroBioFeedback (NBF) techniques in treating various disorders, some of
which were thought to be hopeless, including Depression.
In fact, the Institute has had remarkable success with Depression, even to
the
point that many patients find that they need less, or no medication after
treatment.
NeuroBioFeedback makes use of the brain's capacity to regulate all aspects
of your being - physical and mental. It's non-invasive, voluntary and
doesn't use any drugs.
However, it requires frequency and repetition to work. In the past, this
meant outpatient treatment at a medical facility.
But now, through the use of cutting-edge technology - telemedicine -
Alexandria Institute patients are able to conduct treatment sessions at
home with equipment and training from the Institute. These patients
receive the same medical precision patients receive on-site, including
supervision by Dr. Rima Laibow, the world's leading expert on NBF.
At-home patients are evaluated at the Institute and are trained there in
use of the equipment. The Institute provides all equipment including a
computer, a fax machine and special NBF treatment devices. When home
treatment starts, patients fax results of each session to Dr. Laibow who
reviews them and, if necessary, make treatment adjustments. Weekly
results are downloaded from the computer and transmitted to Dr. Laibow for
review. Again, if necessary, she will recommend changes in treatment
protocols.
The Alexandria Medical Institute is located in Hasting-on-Hudson, New York
and in New York City.
For information about the in-home treatment program, including cost, etc.,
you can call 1-888-295-7474 or 914-693-0777. If you have depression, or any mental illness, that is caused by brain
chemistry problems, and not emotional or environmental factors, this
is a dangerous alternative. If you NEED medication, you NEED medication.
If you are suicidal, the only thing the computers will do is provide
cords to hany yourself.
