PRISM for Depression is the first -of-its-kind treatment from GrayMatters Health .

It uses something called “self-neuromodulation’ to help patients rewire their own brain patterns to ease their symptoms.

PRISM uses an EEG headset to track activity in the amygdala, providing real-time feedback on brainwaves linked to PTSD.

In a clinical study, 67% of patients showed significant symptom and sleep improvements three months after finishing the program.

The new PRISM for depression targets this exact issue, aiming to boost activity in the brain’s reward center.

The most common side effects were mild — headaches, dizziness and fatigue — and all faded on their own after each session.
