Depression

When our brain works better, we feel better. This allows us to have more control over our emotions. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy creates tremendous healing and optimization for the brain, offering a new treatment option for people suffering from mental health issues such as depression.

 

Symptoms & Conditions Treated

Depression can be caused by many factors, but it often occurs when our brain is not performing well. This could be due to a concussion, past illness, surgery, lifestyle choices, and more. When the organic tissue and communication in our brain has been disrupted, it may require treatment to get us back on track. When brain function is depressed, or lowered and we do not function at optimal levels. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy helps regain healthy function in our brain, improving the way we deal with stress, busy environments, emotional triggers, and every day life.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can also aid in counseling/therapy to support higher brain function and create faster change by supporting neuroplasticity that occurs during your therapy treatments. We always recommend co-treating with therapy/counseling. If you are stuck in your treatments or would like some help in this process, we recommend that you consider HBOT as a modality that can greatly help on your healing journey.

Research and clinical data continues to support Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy’s (HBOT) role in improving depression and other mental health issues for numerous patients.

Other benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a quickly evolving science and the full benefits are continually being discovered. HBOT increases the amount of oxygen in our bloodstream and increases circulation to deliver abundant amounts of oxygen to the brain, supersaturating our tissue with energy needed for healing, growth, and repair. This creates a healthier environment for our brain to work and control our autonomic nervous system. Because of this, the benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be found in all parts of the body and in a wide range of ways. Some benefits can include:

  • Faster healing from trauma
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Increased stem cell release
  • Improved brain health
  • Detoxification
  • Improved autonomic nervous system function
  • …and many more
