  Brain stimulation treatment may improve depression, anxiety in older adults Source: University of Florida Summary: A noninvasive brain stimulation treatment improved depression and anxiety symptoms among older adults in a new study. A noninvasive brain stimulation treatment improved depression and anxiety symptoms among older adults in a new University of Florida-led study. Improvements in depression and anxiety symptoms were greatest among patients who reported higher symptom levels before treatment. Among participants who experienced moderate to severe state anxiety -- or anxiety associated with stressful situations or events -- the treatment benefits persisted at a one-year followup. The findings, published in the journal  Brain Stimulation , suggest the treatment, known as transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS, holds promise as a noninvasive, drug-free option to treat depression and anxiety symptoms, which affect 1 in 4 older adults. -----   -----...

  Chemical found naturally in cannabis may reduce anxiety-inducing effects of THC, researchers show Study finds an essential oil, d-limonene, significantly reduces feelings of anxiety and panic, without altering the desired effects of marijuana's active ingredient Source: Johns Hopkins Medicine Summary: A Johns Hopkins Medicine-led research team has added to evidence that a chemical found naturally in cannabis (also known as marijuana) can -- in the right amounts -- lessen the anxiety-inducing effects of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive sister chemical found in cannabis. The finding has the potential to advance the medicinal use of THC, and reduce the risks of its recreational use in some people. The substance, called d-limonene, is one of the most abundant terpenes, or essential oils, in the cannabis plant, and has shown promise in rodent studies in reducing anxiety behaviors. However, there has been little research on d-limonene or other terpenes in humans. As...

Let’s delve into the EMDR process: Dual Attention Stimuli : The core of EMDR therapy involves the patient recalling a distressing memory while simultaneously being exposed to dual attention stimuli, often in the form of side-to-side eye movements. Adaptive Information Processing Model : This model underlies EMDR and suggests that just as the body naturally works toward physical health, the mind is similarly inclined towards mental health and emotional healing. Memory Reconsolidation : In EMDR sessions, clients revisit traumatic memories in controlled, short bursts while focusing on an external stimulus, aiding the brain in in...
