Depressed? Anxious? Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation Can Help!

Are you anxious or depressed? Having trouble getting a good night's sleep? Find out how science can help you to relieve your symptoms and get your life back.

Depression and anxiety can take a huge toll on your life - your relationships, your career, and most importantly, your own sense of well-being are all tremendously affected by these common emotional disorders. Even with prescription medications, these conditions are often difficult to control; at least 80% of individuals who use antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs still report unpleasant symptoms related to their condition.

The good news is that, thanks to an innovative treatment method known as cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES), you can experience real relief from your depression, anxiety or insomnia. With the Alpha-Stim electro-stimulator, you can treat your symptoms at home, while you relax, in just 20 to 60 minutes a day.

* The Alpha-Stim SCS

The Alpha-Stim SCS is a hand-held device which delivers a low-intensity electric microcurrent to the brain via small electrodes, which are attached to the earlobes. This low-level electrical current is similar to the natural electrical impulses produced by the brain. You may feel a slight tingling sensation where the electrodes come in contact with your skin; this is not harmful, nor is it necessary to feel this to achieve positive results.

The CES device can be used while you are working at daily tasks or simply relaxing with a book or a good movie; it produces a relaxed, yet alert state during use. Many people who have tried cranial electrotherapy stimlation experience an almost immediate reduction in their anxiety and stress levels; the CES typically provides relief from anxiety, depression and insomnia within 1 to 2 weeks of daily treatment.

* Are there any side effects?

The vast majority of users report only positive effects from the CES. In some cases, users have reported skin irritation, dizziness, or headaches. The CES may produce sleeplessness for a short time after use due to its stimulating effect, so it is important not to use it within 3 hours of bedtime.

* Is cranial electrotherapy stimulation FDA approved?

CES has been subjected to a wide range of scientific research, and there is overwhelming evidence that it can relieve insomnia, depression and anxiety when used as directed. The FDA has approved the Alpha-Stim device for use in treating these and other stress-induced conditions.

If you are overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, or if insomnia is affecting your ability to function normally, you do not need to suffer. Talk to a mental health professional about using the Alpha-Stim CES to relieve your symptoms and help you to enjoy life once again.
