The list of symptoms that Mended Minds can impact is significant—and growing.
In addition to symptom reduction and life improvement, our patients report improvement in overall focus and the ability to simply relax. Others enjoy the overall improvement in performance—in work, school, or athletics, that comes from consistent sessions with us.
Family members and friends are also positively affected as many of these issues have a ripple affect over those relationships. Although some patients come in taking prescription medication, it is a personal goal of the Mended Minds team to help their patients reduce or eliminate their dependency on medication.
The methodology has produced a positive response in the following:
PTSD
PTSD is a disorder that can develop after a person is exposed to emotional or physical traumas, and these traumas are cumulative.
For someone with PTSD they go into what we call ”Brain Freeze” © where the bodies “fight or flight” mechanism takes over. This occurs as these traumas cause the slowing of delta brainwaves. This action has been found to cause axonal injury, which stimulates the brain to dump hi levels of sympathetic nervous chemicals into the body. It is now understood that the presence of these sympathetic nervous chemicals results in the symptoms seen with PTSD and many other disorders.
IASIS MCN Microcurrent Neurofeedback briefly stimulates the brain at a micro-level, creating a fluctuation in brainwaves. This allows the brain to regulate itself releasing parasympathetic chemicals, thereby unlocking these frozen and stuck patterns.
IASIS MCN is the first Neurofeedback with image-based evidence of its success and over 85% of those receiving IASIS MCN report a reduction or elimination of the symptoms associated with PTSD and these changes are sustainable!
IASIS MCN along with the complete Mended Minds program taking diet, lifestyle and environment into consideration, results in life changing results for those who suffer PTSD, and their families.
Anxiety/Anger/Depression
Anxiety, Anger, and Depression are a result of a deeper issue and in many cases related to emotional or physical traumas that one has experienced throughout their life. These traumas are cumulative.
A large number of those receiving IASIS MCN Microcurrent Neurofeedback sessions, report the reduction or elimination of these symptoms. Emotional and physical traumas cause the slowing of delta brainwaves. This action causes axonal injury, which stimulates the brain to dump hi levels of sympathetic nervous chemicals into the body. We call this “Sympathetic Freeze” ©. It is now understood that the presence of these sympathetic nervous chemicals results in the symptoms seen with PTSD and many other disorders.
IASIS MCN interrupts these frozen or stuck patterns allowing the brain to self-regulate. When it does the brain signals the body to release parasympathetic chemicals. The result is less anger and anxiety, better sleep and digestion, less depression, and a clear mind.
IASIS MCN along with the complete Mended Minds program taking diet, lifestyle and environment into consideration, results in life changing results for those who are suffering from anger, anxiety, depression, and their families.
Brain Injury
Those suffering traumatic brain injury, along with concussion syndrome can benefit tremendously from IASIS MCN Microcurrent Neurofeedback and the Mended Minds program.
An interesting fact is that we can metaphorically compare a college age woman who has an enormous amount of pressure to succeed, who may have also suffered abuse, to a War Veteran who was blown up in a Hum-V and watched a buddy get shot in the head. They can and in most cases share the same symptomology, such as anger, anxiety, depression, migraines, insomnia, digestions issues, along with other psychological disorder symptoms.
There have been multiple studies conducted using IASIS MCN Microcurrent neurofeedback. The pilot study utilized Marine Corp members who had received a traumatic brain injury and suffered from PTSD. The studies showed a dramatic reduction in PTSD and brain injury scoring, while reducing or eliminating accompanying symptoms.
Mended Minds is committed to using state of the art technologies such as IASIS MCN along with a whole person approach, to help our first responders and military who have sacrificed so much for their families, community and country.
Insomnia
Insomnia can be the result of many issues in a person’s life and can develop after a person is exposed to emotional or physical traumas, and these traumas are cumulative.
For someone with insomnia they go into what we call “Brain Freeze” © where the bodies “fight or flight” mechanism takes over. This occurs as these traumas cause the slowing of delta brainwaves. This action causes axonal injury, which stimulates the brain to dump hi levels of sympathetic nervous chemicals into the body. It is now understood that the presence of these sympathetic nervous chemicals results in sleep issues and many other disorders.

Pain/Fibromyalgia/Migraine
Pain can be linked to many causes. Traumas both physical and emotional, disease, inflammation, diet, environment, and belief systems, all play key roles in the pain process.
A large number of those receiving IASIS MCN Microcurrent Neurofeedback sessions, report the reduction of pain related symptoms. This can be linked to hi levels of sympathetic nervous chemicals caused by all the same process’s which cause pain to begin with. We call this “Sympathetic Freeze” ©
IASIS MCN interrupts these frozen or stuck patterns allowing the brain to self-regulate. When it does the brain signals the body to release parasympathetic chemicals. The result is less pain, reduced or eliminated headaches, better sleep, less anxiety, clear mind, and less inflammation.
This along with the complete Mended Minds program taking diet, lifestyle and environment into consideration, results in life changing results for those who suffer from pain, and their families.
Autism
Unlike traditional neurofeedback, IASIS MCN Neurofeedback produces fast results in a limited number of sessions, and the ease and simplicity of treatment all distinguish it from traditional neurofeedback.
IASIS MCN produces a measurable change in brainwaves, yet is imperceptible to the patient and requires no conscious effort. The result is an improved brainwave state and much greater ability for the brain and nervous system to regulate itself.
Our experience shows that 85% of patients report a positive response within one to three treatments. Patients suffering from mild/moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI), PTSD, migraines, insomnia, depression, ADD/ADHD, anxiety, and a host of other neurological disorders report a significant reduction in symptoms, improved sleep and reduced pulsivity. These reported changes are generally enduring and sustainable.
ADD/ADHD
Those suffering ADD/ADHD that have had IASIS MCN Microcurrent Neurofeedback sessions have reported, less impulsivity, better focus, reduced brain fog, reduction of jumbled thoughts, the ability to concentrate and do better in school, less anxiety, and better sleep. A common thread seen with those with ADD/ADHD is their desire to get off medication. We have testimonial after testimonial of those with ADD/ADHD having dramatic improvement in their symptoms and dependence on medication.

Alzheimer’s/Dementia
Recent studies conducted with IASIS MCN Microcurrent Neurofeedback have revealed for the first time, evidence that IASIS MCN stimulates the creation of new neural pathways or neurogenesis within the brain. The data also suggests that IASIS MCN stimulates the glial cells within the brain to purge beta amyloids, plaques and other toxins from the brain. This usually occurs when we sleep, but when delta waves are affected by “sympathetic freeze” © the release of these toxins and plaques from the brain are diminished, leading to a worsening of Dementia and Alzheimer’s symptoms. This could explain why we are having amazing results working with those with Dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Those suffering Dementia and Alzheimer’s that have had IASIS MCN sessions report less anxiety and depression, better sleep, more cognitive awareness, reduced brain fog, and improved memory.

Performance Enhancement
Executives, athletes and many others who have experienced IASIS MCN Microcurrent Neurofeedback report performance enhancements such as; ability to think more clearly, process data more quickly, be calmer, be less reactive and have more energy. All leading to higher productivity.
