If nothing—meds, talk therapy, meditation–has gotten rid of your depression, you may have treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Neurofeedback helps, without changing you or your personality, or the content of your thoughts. Using neuroplasticity, your brain can reorganize neural pathways, create new connections, and even create new neurons. The brain naturally wants to stay neutral and balanced to help us manage our thoughts and emotions. Depression disrupts that balanced state, negatively affecting how we think and make choices. Neurofeedback helps your brain to restore optimal brainwave activity by forming new connections and reorganizing old ones to bypass the symptoms of depression.

There are two kinds of neuroplasticity, or brain plasticity. Functional plasticity is your brain’s ability to move functions from a damaged area to an undamaged area. Structural plasticity is its ability to change its physical structure as a result of learning. This is how your brain restores your peace of mind.
