Hey Nan,
I had a neuropsych eval aug 3rd. I would highly reccomend it to anyone having issues that the surgeon or your treating doctor doesn't seem to recognize it was very insightful, especially after I had a psych eval done for ssd eval which said there was nothing wrong with me.
They had on 60 mins tonight a new treatment for depression for those patients who have exhausted all traditional forms of threatment. It's being done in Canada in trial and it's done on sector 25. They actually showed them doing the surgery on a patient. She was awake for the entire procedure, they went in through her brain, had a halo was interesting. There is a place in denver (brain matters) that does imagining of your brain to determine if you are depressed, bipolar or if there are other things going on in your brain..it's called brain mapping. The team in Canda did some sort of brain mapping but I don't know if it's the same type of thing or not.
Last, my son did neurofeedback when he was younger for migraine headaches. Yes, it did work. From what I understood they hooked him up to electrodes which picked up wavelengths in his body and he learned how to doing breathing and relaxation techniques based on the sounds from the machine to help lower his stress and anxiety so he could control the onset of migraines he was having. I don't remember the name of the doctor but can figure it out if need be and tell you that at first I was real skeptical but it did work and I saw a difference in the frequency of his mirgraines.
Hope that helps!
I go back in December for my second neuropsych follow up...vr is sending me to some one local to go over the records. I'd offer to send you my report but I can't find it right now (if you're interested in seeing what they did I'll get another copy before my appt in dec just ask)
