Living with depression can feel like fighting an invisible, uphill battle every day—one where promising solutions often leave you still searching for answers. The weight of persistent depression can shroud your days in doubt, making it difficult to believe that lasting relief is even possible.
Healing is within reach. You can reclaim your life through depression treatment without medication. At Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic, our extensively trained team offers evidence-based therapies that provide meaningful improvements in the psychological, biological, and social causes of depression.
Antidepressant medications fail to help about 30% of people diagnosed with depression. Even those who experience some relief may struggle with unwanted side effects, dependency concerns, or treatment that only masks symptoms without addressing root causes.
Our medication-free treatment targets the underlying factors that contribute to depression, with significant advantages:
Whether you’ve tried medication without success or prefer to explore non-pharmaceutical options,our comprehensive approach offers a sustainable path to recovery and emotional well-being.
Depression is more than just feeling sad or experiencing mood changes. It’s a complex condition that deeply impacts your energy levels and often affects your ability to engage in activities you once enjoyed.
Common symptoms persisting for at least two weeks may include:
Depression develops from a unique combination of psychological, social, and biological factors. Each person experiences a different range of symptoms, making a personalized approach to treatment essential.
At Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic, we begin with a thorough neuropsychological assessment to accurately diagnose depression and identify any co-occurring conditions. More than half of people with depression also experience anxiety, and proper diagnosis is integral to effective treatment.
Through detailed psychological evaluation, we may recommend brain mapping therapy for depression. We will assess the following information:
Our comprehensive approach allows us to create truly tailored depression treatment plans that address all the factors contributing to your depression, particularly those that a one-size-fits-all solution might bypass.
While some people need long-term treatment, up to 80% of those participating in the treatments at Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic see improvements within 4 to 6 weeks. Your provider works closely with you to determine the best therapy combination for optimal results.
Neurofeedback is a cutting-edge brain treatment for depression that produces lasting changes in your brain’s imbalanced brain waves. By providing real-time feedback about your brain activity, neurofeedback treatment helps boost nerve activity in the brain areas associated with depression and anxiety. Unlike medications that temporarily alter brain chemistry, neurofeedback creates sustainable improvements that continue even after treatment ends.
Advanced brain mapping technology creates a detailed picture of your brain’s electrical patterns to identify specific areas that may be causing symptoms. A personalized map guides your treatment plan, ensuring we target the precise activity that needs rebalancing.
Biofeedback trains self-regulation, giving you the skills to control your body’s physiological responses associated with depression. By learning to recognize and modify stress responses, you gain powerful tools to manage depression symptoms on your own.
Light therapy improves cellular function and stimulates energy production, activities that can significantly improve your mood. This non-invasive approach can be particularly effective for seasonal patterns of depression.
