Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Well, I've been using this for 2 1/2 days for 20 minutes twice a day as instructed. I will say this: Yesterday I already felt much better . I still do. However, I've also been put on a new medication and don't know if that is contributing to my well-being. However, feeling this much better is like a dream come true.
Please, those of you who have started using it yourself, please keep us updated on your experience!

I wish it was funny. Depression is HORRIBLE. I am back at day 1 with my new meds and brain device. Very, very sad, hopeless, depressed, anxious, miserable, no motivation.......I guess I could go on and on. Please post if you know anything at all about this Fisher Wallace thing.

I did a search "Is the Fisher Wallace Stimulator" effective?" The results were mixed. Many of them were negative. I was especially concerned about an article that said that it was not effective. I will see if I can find if again and tell you more about it.

Thanks, Heidi. I found mostly very positive posts. Check out: https://outlook.live.com/owa/?path=/mail/AQMkADAwATZiZmYAZC1lZDk4LWE5YWQtMDACLTAwCgAuAAAD%2FtcwCEF1b0G%2BFdEBWC%2F0mQEA46ZRG7TwJEmlRKzZJtkm%2BAAAAkurAAAA/rp I'll still continue to update.

It doesn't look or feel scary at all. You're right about the above activities. But do you dance, laugh and have sex all day? LOL It definitely is safe, and the stimulation in the brain is supposed to last throughout the day, etc. No need to be afraid. However, believe me, I am not suggesting that anyone should buy this. I just think it would be wonderful if it works for a person like me with Depression all my life. I'm 75 now. No depression, added to my other age related problems, would be a glorious blessing!

Bought one for insomnia. Couldn't tolerate the feeling of water running down the sides of my face (you need to moisten the pads on the device). Waste of Money for me.
