Shocking Trend: FDA-Approved 'Brain Zaps' Go Mainstream
United States: The practice of neuroscience includes non-medical headset treatments for depression and electromagnetic cognitive enhancement. However, these approaches remain not just in the realm of science fiction from the 1930s but actively available in modern medicine.
Vagal reset gadgets are now commercially available so people can perform neurostimulation techniques at home, and these items frequently appear in Instagram and TikTok advertisements.
Private hospitals operate “repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation” programs to treat depression and anxiety, and you can find these facilities through online searches.
Tennis icon Serena Williams entered a private medical facility to receive the treatment in which she stayed, as independent.co.uk reported.
According to the athlete’s recently shared sponsored Instagram about her “ExoMind” journey, describing the treatment as a form of self-care. Williams’ caption in the ad post read: “I never do enough self-care and my friend introduced me to @exomindbtl, and it’s really changed how I’ve prioritized wellness, not only for my muscles with @emsculptneo, but also for my mind.”

The company which was responsible for ExoMind described the treatment as “a workout for your mind. An FDA-cleared for the treatment of depression”.
Electric pulse therapies available from the company target both abdominal and muscle tone and pelvic floor activation throughout the entire body.
The social media announcement made by Williams prompted uncertainties regarding how neurostimulation technology could be used, as well as its distribution methods and target user groups.
Is it necessary to stimulate our brains through electrical currents to gain better mental fitness? Do we need to limit ourselves to mindfulness applications together with fish oil supplements to enhance our brain health?
About Neurostimulation
Doctors use neurostimulation as a treatment method to activate the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves to change nerve cell functions. Natural results from neurostimulation appear through various implementation methods, as independent.co.uk reported.
Buyers who obtain headset devices online without a prescription from an unqualified provider receive a different experience than visiting a clinic for professional transcranial stimulation sessions.
