Depression
Depression is a mental health condition that causes persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. It can also lead to physical symptoms like fatigue, changes in appetite, sleep disturbances, and difficulty concentrating. Someone suffering from depression may feel unmotivated, withdrawn from social interactions, or overwhelmed by even small tasks. Feelings of worthlessness, excessive guilt, or recurring thoughts of death or suicide are also common signs. If these symptoms persist for more than two weeks and interfere with daily life, it may be time to seek professional help.
Existing research highlights the potential benefits of BAHI Therapy and WAVi Device as an approach in diagnosing and helping to treat symptoms of depression in a non-invasive and holistic manner.

WAVi Device in Depression Diagnosis and Monitoring
​
The WAVi device is an FDA-cleared EEG-based brain assessment tool that measures brain wave activity and cognitive processing speed. By providing objective data on brain function, it aids in identifying abnormalities associated with depression, such as altered brain wave patterns and delayed cognitive responses. This objective assessment can assist clinicians in diagnosing depression and tailoring treatment plans accordingly. Additionally, repeated WAVi assessments can monitor changes in brain function over time, evaluating treatment effectiveness and guiding adjustments.

BAHI Therapy in Holistic Depression Treatment
​
BAHI Therapy combines multiple modalities to support brain health and overall well-being:
-
Sonix Sonicwave Vibration Therapy: This therapy enhances blood circulation, potentially improving oxygen and nutrient delivery to the brain, which may alleviate depressive symptoms.
-
Whole-Body Photobiomodulation (PBM) and Molecular Hydrogen Inhalation Therapy: PBM stimulates cellular energy production, promoting cell repair and reducing inflammation, while molecular hydrogen acts as a potent antioxidant. Together, they support neuronal health and may alleviate symptoms associated with depression.
-
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment, increasing oxygen levels in the blood. Elevated oxygen availability accelerates tissue repair and reduces inflammation, which can be beneficial in improving overall cognitive function and mood.
