I just ordered the Fisher Wallace device - which claims 70 per cent success for anxiety/depression (though the reviews off their website are mixed!). But they have a 30 day money back guarantee - so I am going to try this. They have been around for ages, so it is not a scam. They also have research now for Bipolar (the Fisher Wallace device):
Fisher Wallace: Fisher Wallace: https://fisherwallace.co.uk/pages/frequently-asked-questions (they are also in USA definitely and not sure about other countries)
Flow Neuroscience (comes with an app): https://flowneuroscience.com/home/faq/
Here are the rest of the reviews I could find online - which are mixed. At the bottom of this research is one review from a doctor who does have success with some of his patients:
This person (who is a pilot) found it helpful over time for anxiety:
Another positive review: https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/mind-guest-blog/why-i-get-my-brain-zapped/
Article - not impressed: https://blogs.scientificamerican.co...electro-cures-symptom-of-psychiatry-s-crisis/
This review not so good:
And a few more reviews:
Finally, here is one review - below - which is from a doctor who does find it helps some of his patients:
"True. Could've been placebo effect.
BUt I can tell you this. If it's a placebo effect it's one where some patients were able to get off of some their meds and some of them even said they're doing fine on it all by itself and didn't have to see me anymore cause they don't need any more meds.
That still could be placebo effect.
For that reason and because the thing's darned expensive I don't encourage anyone to buy it. I tell them to give it a trial run (they offer a 1 month trial). I also don't offer it first line, unless the patient is in the middle of some horrendous anxiety so I offer them to try it in the office at that moment and if they feel a tremendous benefit and ask about it I'll answer questions about it.
