Brain-Based Solutions for Depression
Functional Neurology Care in Lake Charles
Depression is not just a chemical imbalance—it’s a disruption in the neural circuits that regulate mood, motivation, and cognition. At Diagnostic Health & Injury, we apply the principles of functional neurology to identify and treat the root neurological dysfunctions contributing to depressive symptoms.
Our approach goes beyond symptom management to help rewire your brain for long-term emotional resilience and clarity.
Depression Through a Functional Neurology Lens
Chronic low mood, loss of interest, brain fog, fatigue, poor concentration, and physical sluggishness all point to specific dysfunctions within brain regions like the prefrontal cortex, basal ganglia, limbic system, and cerebellum—as well as imbalances in the autonomic nervous system.
Rather than relying solely on medication or talk therapy, our process starts with a comprehensive neuro-functional assessment to uncover the following:
- Diminished cortical activation patterns
- Slowed or inefficient brainstem processing
- Autonomic dysregulation (fight, flight, freeze states)
- Poor sensory integration and movement coordination
- Neuroinflammatory markers impacting cognitive and emotional performance
Precise, Personalized, Measurable
Once we understand your brain’s unique functional profile, we design a customized neurorehabilitation program to restore optimal neurological function and support emotional health. This may include the following:
- Cortical activation protocols using targeted sensory and motor stimulation
- Cerebellar rehabilitation to improve mood stability, posture, and cognition
- Vagus nerve stimulation and HRV training to calm the nervous system
- Functional movement therapies to re-engage dormant circuits
- Nutritional, metabolic, and lifestyle strategies that support neurotransmitter health and reduce neuroinflammation
We frequently integrate with your current care providers, including your psychiatrist, therapist, or primary physician, to ensure a coordinated, patient-centered plan.
More Than Symptom Relief—A Path to Lasting Recovery
This is not a one-size-fits-all model. We use objective progress markers—such as improved eye tracking, reflex symmetry, HRV metrics, and cognitive performance—to track your transformation in real time. Our goal isn’t just to help you feel better, but to restore optimal brain function so you can thrive.
Whether you’re dealing with long-standing depression, seasonal affective issues, or post-traumatic mood changes, we’re here to offer a new direction—one grounded in neuroplasticity, precision care, and measurable results.
