Neurofeedback can be used to treat anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other mental health conditions. It can also be used to improve cognitive performance, such as memory and attention.
During neurofeedback therapy for anxiety, you will sit in a chair with electrodes attached to your head. These electrodes will measure your brainwave activity. The therapist will then give you feedback about your brainwave activity, usually in the form of a sound or a light.

Neurofeedback is a treatment that uses brainwave activity to help regulate emotions and reduce anxiety. The treatment is non-invasive and can be done in a therapist’s office or at home.
Neurofeedback has been shown to be an effective treatment for anxiety, with some studies showing a reduction in symptoms after just a few sessions. The benefits of neurofeedback can last long after the treatment is completed, making it an attractive option for those looking for an alternative to medication or other traditional treatments.
One study found that neurofeedback was more effective than medication in reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression in children and adolescents. Another study found that neurofeedback was as effective as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in treating adults with anxiety disorders.
Neurofeedback has also been shown to be effective in treating specific types of anxiety, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), social anxiety disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder.
