How does NeuroMatrix™ training compare to prescription drugs?
Psychiatric drugs, such as the stimulants, Ritalin™ and Adderal™ (attention problems), and the mood-altering drugs, Prozac™ and Zoloft™ (depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive behavior), may have immediate benefit for the short term. But, taken for an extended period, these powerful drugs can produce unfortunate difficulties. Side effects can be serious and permanent (such as tics and movement disorders); any positive benefit will probably last only as long as the drug is being taken; and, because the original brain dysfunction has probably not gone away, withdrawal will likely be physically difficult and emotionally overwhelming. Recent research has shown attention, learning, and mood problems to be more about faulty brain circuitry and an inability to effectively modulate frequency resources than a neurochemical imbalance. The Quantitative EEG defines where the brain is not efficiently managing its energy; NeuroMatrix™ training helps the brain restore and normalize faulty circ
