Q: I suffered a car accident a couple of years ago and suffered a closed-head injury. Ever since, I have been experiencing short-term memory loss along with some depression and irritability. I know the memory loss is probably from the accident, but do you think the depression and irritability are connected to the accident as well? And how would Neurotherapy help in my recovery?

A: Yes, your depression and irritability are most likely connected to the car accident and injury. Many times after someone suffers a closed-head injury they experience short-term memory loss coupled with depression. As a result they become frustrated and irritable. The person may feel they cannot regain the level of functioning they had before the accident. Although every individual is unique, with therapy, I have seen people recover fully from both their memory loss and depression, without reoccurrence. But this cannot happen overnight. It takes a willingness and commitment to get better. EDS, the therapy used by Advanced NeuroTherapy helps in this recovery process by slowing the brain waves ever so slightly for very short periods of time, so that the brain actually learns to heal itself.


Q: I am 44 years old and have had a stroke. I also battle with depression and am ADD. Can you help me? What do I have to do?

A: Yes, we can help. Neurotherapy is a central nervous system treatment. However, EDS should be seen only as a reliable way, and a reasonably rapid way to induce EEG slowing, and not as a treatment magically improving a wide variety of disorders. At this point, hundreds of children, adolescents, and adults with ADD/ADHD have been worked with, with all finding significant relief from the above problems- often first seen after the completion of the program. Depression is a result of the trauma you have suffered as well as a bi-product of stroke.


We will work closely with your prescribing physicians or neurologists.

Carolyn Robertson is a certified Neurotherapist. She is not a licensed physician. EEG-Neurofeedback services are not licensed by the State of California and are considered alternative or complementary to healing arts services that are licensed by the State of California. EEG-Neurofeedback services involve learning to change your own behavior utilizing feedback to modify your brain wave patterns. That feedback is provided by equipment that monitors and shows brain wave activity. The theory of treatment of EEG-Neurofeedback services is based on 40 years of research conducted in university settings across the country and outside the United States. EEG-Neurofeedback is a combination of operant conditioning and biofeedback. Further explanation can be found on this website.
