WHAT IS DEPRESSION?

Depression is a mood disorder that affects a person's emotional state, as well as their behaviors and thoughts, with repercussions on personal, social and professional life. Depressive symptoms can be temporary, due to a life event, or alternatively, they can be a chronic disorder with genetic and neurological causes, influencing the individual's ability to interpret themselves, others and the environment.

HOW CAN WE INTERVENE IN DEPRESSION?

NeuroImprove distinguishes itself from other psychological practices through its rigorous approach to challenges and obstacles in all areas and contexts of life. Our process is meticulous and tailored to the individual needs of each client. Here’s how:

‍

Depressive Disorders are caused by behavioral, emotional, and neuropsychological changes. Therefore, they may not be solved solely through psychotherapy sessions. This is one of the reasons why individuals resort to medication, which does not always provide the desired improvements.

‍

At the NeuroImprove Clinic, we conduct a neurological assessment with a Quantitative Electroencephalogram to evaluate the brain function and identify which brain regions need assistance.

‍

Psychology sessions involve procedures that address how the individuals understand themselves, others, and the world, along with intervening in the affected domains of life. Additionally, they also promote awareness of depression symptoms and causes. The complementarity between Psychology and Neurofeedback allows us to develop the ideal therapeutic strategy, and we will train the brain to repair the deregulated regions, recovering and sustaining its balance in the long term.
