The Effects of Neurofeedback on Depression

Depression of any type or on any level of intensity is hard to live with. However, for someone suffering from manic depression such as Bipolar Disorder, quality of life is completely compromised. According to statistics, depression is something experienced by millions of people around the world. Because of this, there has been a tremendous amount of research and money invested to find viable, long-term solutions.

Today, many remarkable advances have been made, which is evident with neurofeedback training. Because this treatment is considered one of the most important treatments available for people with depression, we wanted to take the opportunity to provide some of the key benefits. Keep in mind that, unlike more conventional treatments, neurofeedback is unique since it is beneficial at the onset of symptoms, but also once depression has already set in.

Your Thoughts Shape Your Destiny: Why Small Choices Matter More Than You Think

“Watch your thoughts, for your thoughts become words. Watch your words, for your words become actions. Watch your actions, for your actions become habits. Watch your habits, for your habits become character. Watch your character, for it becomes destiny.”
-Frank Outlaw

This quote has hung in my office for years. I reference it often-not because it’s poetic, but because it’s true. In just a few lines, it captures the path we all walk, whether consciously or not.

This isn’t just philosophy. It’s how our brains work. Modern neuroscience confirms what Frank Outlaw captured decades ago: Our daily thoughts and habits quite literally wire our brains and shape the lives we end up living.

So let’s break this down-because inside this quote is the secret to lasting change, both for us and for our children.

What if you never said "I'm bored" again?

Ever wonder why the phrase "I'm bored" feels like nails on a chalkboard? That's because we've collectively fallen under the spell of a dopamine-drenched lie that whispers "what's next?" at every quiet moment.

Boredom isn't actually real—it's a construct we've invented to explain the discomfort of not being constantly stimulated. Where once stillness and silence were normal parts of daily life, they now feel intolerable. Children who once stared at clouds or dug holes in dirt just to see what was there now experience a crisis without screens or structured activities. Adults who once paused and reflected now text while waiting in line, scroll while watching TV, and fill every silent gap with stimulation.

For parents, the solution to the "I'm bored" trap is surprisingly simple but requires courage: stop feeding the boredom beast.

Listen to the episode here:

The Emptiness of Seeking Immediate Attention
A mom in my office said it perfectly last week:

“He wants attention every second. If I look away for one minute, he’s whining or yelling or doing something dramatic to get me back. It’s like he can’t just be okay for a moment, without demanding me or my attention.”

And she’s not alone. Across the board-from toddlers to teens-we’re seeing kids trapped in an endless loop of seeking attention. And not just any attention. It has to be now. Instant. Intense. And it better come with a side of praise or excitement. Oh yes, I forgot. And, “Give me attention now, and also give me what I want when I demand it.”

We live in a culture where the mind is constantly seeking. And yet, despite all the comforts, the gadgets, the opportunities-we’re more miserable than ever. Rates of anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation are exploding in children, teens, and adults alike.

Why? One answer might be: Our minds? Too full.

Our hearts? Too empty.

The Overfed Mind Can’t Find Peace
