How a £400 brain zapper finally helped me conquer my depression: ANNE ATKINS suffered for 30 years and nothing worked - until she tried the headset now being rolled out on the NHS
Daily MailFinally, I admitted it. Our bright, brilliant daughter developed severe OCD in her early teens and her first hospitalisation, with its loopy therapy, complete lack of sense such as removing all exercise for both body and mind – and force-feeding of medication – rendered her many times worse and is responsible, I believe, for her still being completely disabled a quarter of a century on. The only downside was that it cost £399 for the kit: a headset and first box of pads Antidepressants have been linked to numerous side-effects – even suicidal ideation that I've witnessed too – which I'm not willing to risk. I was already surely eating as healthily as possible: we don't use sugar or refined food; never buy ready-meals or junk food; and long before anyone heard the word 'keto' I've eschewed carbs and eaten a protein-rich breakfast – poached egg, smoked salmon, avocado. As far as I'm concerned it doesn't matter whether this is due to brain stimulation, lentils witchcraft – or indeed, placebo.
