35-year-old Xiaoru (pseudonym) suffered from a brain tumor when she was a child. Although she had been surgically removed, she suffered from long-term hand tremors, unsteady gait, depression and other problems, and even committed suicide many times. Xiaoru has been actively treated for the past 20 years, but the effect is very good. Very limited, until receiving repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS for short) treatment, I regained my enthusiasm for life, various discomfort symptoms improved, and my depression was effectively improved.
Zhang Bingchun, director of the Department of Psychology and Psychiatry at Taichung Hospital, said that neurons in the brain that control sensation, movement, and emotion interact with each other in a very complex way. Many patients with severe depression are often accompanied by physical and mental symptoms. Common symptoms include headache, abdominal pain, chest tightness, palpitations, etc. , “These symptoms are likely to originate from emotions, but they are manifested as symptoms of physical discomfort. Since it is difficult for patients to associate the two, the real cause is not easy to find.”
Zhang Bingchun said that rTMS can generate an electric field in the brain by changing the magnetic field in a safe state, and accurately activate the “dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex” of the brain in charge of executive function, cognition, and emotion-related functions, thereby improving depression; After rTMS treatment, patients can even completely get rid of long-term drug treatment and achieve the goal of “rehabilitation”.
Zhang Bingchun explained that Xiaoru’s depression symptoms were quite severe in the past, and her depressed brain also brought regarding “loss of interest” symptoms. Xiaoru was unable to develop her talents and interests well. Even though she was willing to study, when depression struck, her brain seemed to be filled with negative thinking viruses, and all memory was taken up. She even attempted suicide many times. Fortunately, Xiaoru’s father always It was to stop her at the last moment, but Dad mightn’t live his life because of it.
After Xiaoru received rTMS treatment, not only the frequency of depression was greatly reduced, but she also began to actively learn more things, as if she had regained the life that belonged to her. Zhang Bingchun lamented that depression patients themselves are hard-working, but the caregivers who are under heavy psychological pressure and who are also struggling are often ignored. Now, patients can use rTMS to reverse refractory depression, which is tantamount to turning over the whole family. destiny.
Zhang Bingchun observed that people who have high self-demand, perfectionism, principles for people and things, and obsessive tendencies are prone to greater pressure in the face of work, life, and relationships, and are also prone to emotional, physical and mental symptoms. , to remind everyone that when working hard, don’t forget to take care of your physical and mental health.
