At the mood level, the left frontal lobe is involved to generate positive emotions. It therefore deals with regulating (containing) manifestations of negative emotions. For example, when the left frontal lobe is damaged, people often become more apathetic, depressed or get angry easily seeing as the filter that held these emotions is no longer working. They are therefore more likely to develop depression.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Other more recent studies, including one published in 2018 in the well-known journal Nature, have shown that major depression, as well as several psychiatric issues, may result from poor communication between the frontal lobes and other areas of the brain. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41467-018-05317-y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">See Nature&#8217;s article. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-69d2a5acde739 {margin-top: 30px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-69d2a5acde739\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1560977251662{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1562949736359{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]<style type=\"text\/css\">.thegem-button-69d2a5acde8113486 .gem-button svg {fill: #ffffff;}.thegem-button-69d2a5acde8113486 .gem-button:hover svg {fill: #f49237;}<\/style><div class=\"gem-button-container gem-button-position-center thegem-button-69d2a5acde8113486    \"  ><a title=\"Get a FREE Phone consultation\" class=\"gem-button gem-button-size-tiny gem-button-style-outline gem-button-text-weight-thin gem-button-border-1  gem-button-tablet-size-tiny gem-button-mobile-size-tiny\" data-ll-effect=\"drop-right-without-wrap\" style=\"border-radius: 5px;border-color: #f49237;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #f49237, #f49237);color: #ffffff;\" onmouseleave=\"this.style.borderColor='#f49237';this.style.backgroundColor='transparent';this.style.color='#ffffff';this.style.background='linear-gradient(to bottom , #f49237 , #f49237)';\" onmouseenter=\"this.style.borderColor='#f49237';this.style.backgroundColor='#ffffff';this.style.color='#f49237';this.style.background='linear-gradient(to bottom , #ffffff , #ffffff)';\" href=\"\/en\/book-an-appointment\/\" target=\"_self\">Get a FREE Phone consultation<\/a><\/div> <div id=\"fullwidth-block-69d2a5acde898\" class=\"fullwidth-block clearfix\"  style=\"background-color: #ffffff;padding-top: 35px;padding-bottom: 35px;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">if (typeof(gem_fix_fullwidth_position) == \"function\") { gem_fix_fullwidth_position(document.getElementById(\"fullwidth-block-69d2a5acde898\")); }<\/script><div class=\"fullwidth-block-inner\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"centered-box\"><div class=\"gem-icon gem-icon-pack-material gem-icon-size-xlarge  gem-icon-shape-square gem-simple-icon gem-icon-use-image\"  style=\"opacity: 1;\"><div class=\"gem-icon-inner\" style=\"\"><span class=\"gem-icon-half-1\" style=\"color: #3c3950;\"><span class=\"back-angle\"><img src=\"http:\/\/neurop.pixel-united.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Depression-1.png\" alt=\"#\" \/><\/span><\/span><span class=\"gem-icon-half-2\" style=\"color: #3c3950;\"><span class=\"back-angle\"><img src=\"http:\/\/neurop.pixel-united.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Depression-1.png\" alt=\"#\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-69d2a5acdec85 {margin-top: 20px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-69d2a5acdec85\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"title-h3\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"light\">What we train WITH <\/span>Neurofeedback<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-69d2a5acdecd7 {margin-top: 40px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-69d2a5acdecd7\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div>[vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;ptext&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 120%;\">When we perform the evaluation and analysis of the qEEG, the neuropsychologist will then pay particular attention to the level of activity of the frontal lobes, as well as its many connections with other regions of the brain. With the latest-generation Neurofeedback equipment used in our clinics, we can now simultaneously train frontal lobe activity (to activate the left frontal lobe which is responsible for generating positive emotions) and at the same time bring about the communication needed with other regions.

However, others may well conceal their state of mind and appear completely normal to the outside eye despite the great suffering they are experiencing. Depressive states can be seasonal. Symptoms can thus recur from year to year in the fall and subside in the spring. In this case, fatigue and sadness are often accompanied by a great need for sleep and increased appetite.<\/p>\n<p>Dysthymia is a form of chronic depression whose intensity is less than major depression.

To distinguish depressive disorders from normal mood variations, you must experience significant distress or impairments in social, professional, or other areas.<\/p>\n<p>Several mood disorders exist. You may have a major depressive disorder (often called major depression) or a persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia). Other diagnoses are classified by etiology into depressive disorders:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>premenstrual dysphoric disorder,<\/li>\n<li>depressive disorder due to another somatic disorder,<\/li>\n<li>and depressive disorder induced by a substance or treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Neuroperforma clinics do not make a diagnosis. A psychologist or a doctor can make the diagnosis. Consult a mental health professional before you are no longer able to perform your usual activities.

These treatments allow you to resume daily activities and regain control of your life. Specialists generally recommend cognitive-behavioral therapy to treat depression. This psychotherapy helps to modify your thoughts and problematic behaviors to replace them with thoughts and reactions appropriate to reality.<\/p>\n<p>There are other therapies according to your needs if you have already experienced a depressive episode. As for depression medications, they restore the chemical balance of the brain.
