Question 1

What are mood disorders?

Accepted Answer

Mood disorders include depression, bipolar disorder, and dysthymia — a milder but long-lasting form of depression. They are characterized by prolonged sadness or distress, loss of interest, sleep and energy disturbances, and sometimes suicidal thoughts. They impact family, social, and professional functioning.

Question 2

What is impulsivity, and why is it a problem?

Accepted Answer

Impulsivity refers to acting or speaking without thinking ahead, even when negative consequences are possible, in the heat of the moment. It's linked to brain circuits that manage inhibition and emotional regulation. Impulsivity can fuel conflicts, lead to compulsive spending and risky behavior, or negatively impact performance in both work and school. It often coexists with anxiety, ADHD, or mood disorders.

Question 3

How can neurofeedback help with mood and impulsivity?

Accepted Answer

Neurofeedback trains brain activity non-invasively to promote more stable states. By targeting networks involved in emotional regulation, attention, and inhibitory control, results often include: More stable mood and fewer ruminations, Reduced anxiety and stress, Better sleep and improved concentration, Fewer impulsive reactions and greater self-control.

Question 4

Is it painful or risky?

Accepted Answer

No. It's non-invasive and painless. Sensors placed on the scalp measure brain activity — there is no electrical stimulation. No known typical side effects; you remain comfortably seated throughout the session.

Question 5

Can it be combined with my current treatments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Neurofeedback can be combined with psychotherapy, lifestyle habits, and medication when indicated. Coordination with your healthcare provider is encouraged.

Question 6

How are impulsivity, sleep, and stress related?

Accepted Answer

Lack of sleep and stress amplify the hyperreactivity of emotional circuits, weakening frontal inhibition and fostering impulsive responses. By improving brain stability and sleep quality, neurofeedback helps reduce this vulnerability.

Question 7

What if I've never done neurofeedback before?

Accepted Answer

No prior experience is required. You'll be guided through each step; sessions are comfortable, objectives are clear, and follow-up is consistent.

Question 8
