Does this really work for anxiety/depression etc?
Has anyone here tried it?
Thank you
what is it???
Your brain naturally has electrical currents. The Alpha-Stim cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) device delivers a natural level of microcurrent, via small clips worn on your earlobes, through the brain to stimulate and modulate specific groups of nerve cells. The microcurrent is tiny, just millionths of an ampere, and so gentle that most people don’t even feel it. The patented Alpha-Stim waveform, application, and protocols result in significant anxiety relief, mood normalization, and better sleep (both in quality and duration).
Treatments take only 20 minutes and you can use Alpha-Stim in the privacy of your own home or take it to work with you. The device is portable and the earclips are unobtrusive; you’ll look like you’re just listening to music.
The Alpha-Stim electrotherapy device relieves post-traumatic, acute and chronic pain through painless electrical stimulation delivered via two handheld Smart Probes. It can be used on its own or in conjunction with physical therapy, medication and other forms of pain management.
Alpha-Stim may seem too good to be true, but volumes of research over multiple decades prove it is a safe and effective therapy.

Sounds similar to a tdcs device (trans direct cranial stimulation)

I havent but i read it can help. A place i did rtms treatments at was doing study with it.
I think pad placement on the head is important to target the right area or something and you must do it daily
Yeah they sell some devices. Usually you clip your ears to this thing.
It has been FDA approved long time now but I do not understand as to why it is never brought up by our doctors.
I will ask my psychiatrist in 2 weeks when I see him.

Umm psychiatrists are not really trained for the stuff unless there in research.
I have 2 pdocs. One that does meds and the other one does the brain stimulation research.
Unfortanately my work schedule conflicts with going to get rtms so i havent been in over a year. So who knows maybe ill try the tdcs at home one day. I almost bought a device a while back
My psychiatrist is cool
He encouraged me to try light therapy each morning
It actually has helped a bit!
I want to see what he thinks of these devices like Alpha-Stim etc

Oh i do light therapy too. I use glasses though. Called luminette.
They actually help me quite a bit with regulating my sleep which seems to improve my functioning. Not so groggy in the morning.
I use the glasses cuz its easy, i can eat my cereal and do morning stuff without having to be infront of a box
