>Hi. Neurofeedback is being done all over the country. I just wrote a long post about it on the Alternative board with links to a bunch of information. Here's the link to that post: http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/alter/20050713/msgs/535194.html
My opinion on talk therapy? Well .. .. that's a dicey question and I don't want to offend anyone. But, I believe that talk therapy can rarely if ever get a person out of a severe clinical depression, particularly one that has not been triggered by a life event. That doesn't mean that there aren't good reasons to be seeing a therapist during a depression. Of course there are. But as an actual treatment, I think it has failed miserably.
My opinion comes from my own experience and things I have read. But others may certainly disagree. And, as I said, I can think of several good reasons to be seeing a therapist during a depression, particularly if one has little or no support from close family or friends.
Thank you very much for your good wishes. You have mine as well.
