3 Important Mental Healthcare & Neuroscience Principles at the foundation of Neuregen's Programs:

1. The "Brain-Mind Disconnect"

​

In our view, one of the significant problems in real-world delivery of both neurology and mental healthcare (psychology, psychotherapy and psychiatry), is that the concepts of “mind” and “brain” are often treated as ‘separate’, a problem bolstered by the separation of neurology and psychiatry as specialties.   While this separation is justified by the depth of knowledge and experience required for ‘mastery’ in each of these fields, it is clinically problematic in the frequent lack of coordination of care in the field (i.e., “real world”), for the many people who suffer from mental health conditions because of underlying brain issues, and visa versa.  This relative lack of consideration of brain function (in mental healthcare) and lack of consideration of mental and emotional function (in neurology) can contribute to “treatment resistant” conditions (i.e., unsuccessful treatment), and prolonged suffering.  

​

Our Approach: Neuregen’s program is based on a comprehensive, integrative Neuro-Psychiatric assessment process, which is intentionally designed to identify areas of overlap between brain dysfunction (areas of the brain that aren’t functioning optimally) and mental health complaints (e.g., depression, anxiety, and panic attacks).  The “brain” and “mind” are then addressed simultaneously, through a personalized selection of therapies, which in our experience, can often accelerate results and bring about welcome improvements in previously “treatment resistant” cases.  

​

2. Trauma changes the brain:  

​

Recent advances in neuroimaging (imaging of the brain) have demonstrated important changes in structure and function brought about by intense physical and emotional trauma.   These findings leave no doubt that trauma changes the brain.   These changes can promote debilitating mental health issues, such as anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, depression, cognitive changes, and changes in mood.

Fortunately, the brain can change in a positive direction too!  This is through a process called neuroplasicity, which leads to growth in brain connections in response to persistent, focused, and intense stimulation.

​

Our Approach: Neuregen’s program addresses brain changes as well as the mental, emotional, and behavioral changes associated with physical (e.g., severe pain and injury) and emotional (e.g., PTSD) trauma, through a personalized program intended to rapidly balance brain function and promote therapeutic changes through neuroplasticity.

​

3. People Do Not Experience Mental Health Conditions in the Same way:  

​

Put another way, for example, one person’s depression can be completely different to another person’s depression.  In other words, if we examined the brain of one person with depression, we might see completely different issues as compared to another person who also happened to meet diagnostic criteria for depression.   This can help to explain how one person might respond to a certain medication, at a particular dosage, but another person might have no response at all. 

This is because each person’s brain is unique, their life factors are unique, and as a result, their ideal treatment plan should be expected to be personalized and unique too.          

​

Our Approach: Neuregen’s approach is to utilize key technologies and an organized assessment process to identify as many unique factors as possible to determine a person’s ideal brain optimization program.   The intention behind this approach is to develop the most personalized therapeutic approach possible.
