Mood and activation
Depression and persistent low mood
Low mood, lack of drive, withdrawal, and slower thinking can have a major effect on daily life. At I-NFBF, neurofeedback is considered only within a coordinated treatment context.
- Depression & Negative Mood States
More than a difficult day
Depression may involve persistent sadness, loss of interest, fatigue, sleep changes, poor concentration, or severe self-doubt. Some people mainly experience emptiness and lack of drive.
Duration, severity, and effects on daily life matter. Professional assessment also considers physical causes, medication, and other mental health conditions.
Treatment and safety come first
Medical and psychotherapeutic care form the basis of treatment for depressive disorders. Neurofeedback or biofeedback is planned only as a complement and in coordination with existing care.
Suicidal thoughts, acute hopelessness, or marked deterioration require immediate professional help. A training appointment is not crisis care.
What may be observed during training
Depending on the starting point, neurofeedback may address selected EEG activity. Biofeedback can make related physical responses visible, such as shallow breathing or persistent tension.
- Record daily state and activation level
- Use short, clearly paced sessions
- Monitor sleep, demands, and adverse effects
- Coordinate progress with treating professionals
Realistic goals
Goals may include better awareness of activation, a more regular daily rhythm, or support for concentration. The extent of any change in symptoms cannot be predicted in advance.
