Key Takeaways: Root causes of inflammation: Depression, anxiety, and inflammation seem to be growing in our society. Inflammation can be caused by stress, mold, chronic infection, poor diet, leaky gut, toxins, and others. Traumatic Brain Injury and Psychological Processes: Traumatic Brain Injury or TBI in the mental health sphere is rampant. Most people think it might happen after a severe head injury with immediate causes. But even insignificant impacts on the head, like falling off your bike, can cause TBI. Moreover, though that accident happened in childhood, the effects could appear later in adulthood. So TBI could lead to dramatic and lifetime physical, emotional, behavioral, and cognitive changes. HYLANE Technology: Dr. Robert Hedaya is a pioneer of the HYLANE technology, which includes using hyperbaric oxygen therapy, transcranial laser therapy, and neural exercise to help heal psychiatric and neurological conditions. Dr. Robert Hedaya is a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Georgetown University Medical Center. He is a neuropsychiatrist that teaches functional medicine, psychiatry, brain health, brain inflammation, head trauma, and neurodegenerative conditions, and the founder of The Whole Psychiatry & Brain Recovery Center. Dr. Hedaya also wrote several books, including Understanding Biological Psychiatry, The Anti-depressant Survival Program, and Depression: Advancing the Treatment Paradigm.
