Stress, Anxiety and Depression

A healthy mind for a healthy life.

 The flurry and demand of day-to-day responsibilities often disrupt the mind's balance, causing individuals to struggle through the devastating effects of stress-related illnesses, both psychological and physical. Stress, depression and anxiety can make you feel like a prisoner in your own mind. Feelings of isolation and negativity sap your energy and vitality. Ineffective or constantly changing medication or other treatments can be a rollercoaster of frustration and futility.

Innovative techniques have now been developed that enhance the body's natural ability to manage and counteract the effects of stress, building resilience and helping prevent stress-related illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, chronic pain, anxiety disorders and depression. Choratech provides cutting-edge interventions for stress reduction that are based on the same neuroplasticity principles as our cognitive training products. 

 Under the clinical supervision of Dr. Toman, Choratech clients of all ages also have access to scientifically validated behavioural and cognitive-behavioural forms of psychotherapy, which themselves embody the principles of brain change through frequent, focused, targeted activity.

Take back your life with the power of focused brain stimulation 

Faced with the problems and stresses of life, some brains are thrown out of balance. This can lead to serious and chronic symptoms such as severe depression, anxiety disorders and other psychiatric illnesses. While medications often help treat these symptoms, in many cases they are not completely effective, and their side effects can be difficult to endure.

If you are burdened with severe and resistant symptoms of this kind, Choratech can help. Using safe, painless and side effect-free brain stimulation technology, we can help restore your brain to optimal functioning. Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is an innovative, scientifically proven method of stimulating the brain in a highly targeted way that provides lasting relief from depression, anxiety, and many other mental illnesses, even where more traditional treatments have failed. A medical treatment approved by Health Canada, rTMS is provided under the supervision of our own medical staff.

Choratech provides rTMS treatment through its association with MindCare Centres of Canada.

Stress:

A feeling of being overwhelmed by day-to-day demands and challenges. Stress, whether emotional or physical, can lead to illness such as heart disease, high blood pressure, pain, and gastrointestinal disorders. If prolonged, it can also cause anxiety and depression.


Anxiety:

The uncontrollable feeling of fear or worry, usually accompanied by a sense of overwhelming pressure and desire to escape. Anxiety can present itself in the form of emotional, cognitive and physical symptoms. Individuals suffering from anxiety disorders have trouble concentrating and often feel irritable, tense, fearful or jumpy. Anxiety can also involve physical manifestations such as shortness of breath, muscle tension, headaches and insomnia.


Depression:

Feelings of despair, sadness or emptiness, often involving loss of interest or joy in living, withdrawal from relationships and activities, impaired concentration and decision-making, and negative thinking. When left untreated, depression can severely compromise an individual's physical functioning as well, causing appetite changes, low energy, sleep problems, and even heart disease. Depression often involves feelings of hopelessness, tempting sufferers to believe that life is not worth living.
