CES -
Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (Wiki)
Also known
as Cranial-Electro Stimulation (CES)
Also known as ElectroSleep Therapy (EST)
Also known as Transcranial Electrotherapy
(TcE)
A viable alternative to drug therapy, this treatment can sport a delayed effect;
side effects aren't all that bad; the worst
reported side effects are temporary headaches and/or skin irritation around the area
where the electrodes are attached. It is useful in
the treatment of depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, insomnia and drug addiction. The therapy causes an increase in the levels of
the monoamine neurotransmitters serotonin, noradrenaline and dopamine. Patients under CES treatment are typically described as "alert, yet
relaxed". The treatment has an anxiolytic effect, promotes a euphoric feeling,
makes the patients feel physically lighter, have clearer
thoughts and become more creative. The onset of
beneficial effects is usually extremely fast - more than
five sessions is extremely uncommon.
