The Brain That Changes Itself
“We must be learning if we are to feel fully alive, and when life, or love, becomes too predictable and it seems like there is little left to learn, we become restless - a protest, perhaps, of the plastic brain when it can no longer perform its essential task.” |
As new discoveries are made about the brain, scientists are finding that our minds are not hard-wired by age 18. This extraordinary film tells the amazing stories of men and women whose brains have changed and adapted over time. In some cases, the brain evolves to adapt to new environments or circumstances. In other cases, it's our way of overcoming physical and mental disabilities or injuries.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Is The New Treatment For Depression
We are a big fan of TMS therapy. Paris did two rounds of it and we collectively feel it was very beneficial. We encourage you to do your own research. Sometimes insurance will pay for it. Unfortunately, some insurance companies will only pay for it if you have tried numerous medications first. It is sad that we live in a world where they want us to take medications vs. doing a treatment with few side effects. Hopefully, in time that will change. In the meantime, check with your insurance to see what they are willing to cover.
