ZenWaves Clinic was founded in 2018 by Dr Dona Biswas and Dr Vivek Sharma .
While practising as psychiatrists, we had realised that medication did not help all clients. Many continued to struggle with their conditions. We both chose to explore other interventions. We saw first-hand the benefits of neurofeedback, integrative psychiatry and a wider approach. At ZenWaves, we are not opposed to medication. But we believe there is more to psychiatry than simply prescribing drugs.
The brain, like the body, is physical. Medication affects it. So do lifestyle choices. Routines, diet and supplements can make a huge difference to your mental health. We include all these elements in our treatment plans.
We are also passionate believers in the benefits of neurofeedback. A course of neurofeedback is actually a personalised exercise program for your brain. Your neurofeedback protocol is designed specifically for you and your brain, to encourage healthier brainwave activity.
Scientific understanding of the brain is growing all the time. There is still much to learn. Research, trials and case studies all help to advance our knowledge. At ZenWaves we are committed to keeping up with advances in knowledge so we can help our clients better.
Double-blind randomised trials are the gold standard for clinical evidence. Unfortunately, they are expensive to run and funding is limited. They are also more suited to testing a standard treatment than a personalised one. For these reasons, smaller trials and case studies continue to be important. Many of these demonstrate the benefits of neurofeedback and other treatments – and make the case for larger trials in the future.
Our practice at ZenWaves is informed by careful review of the latest research and by our own experience. Our aim is always to develop and deliver the best treatment plan possible for you as an individual.
