Addiction is defined as the inability to quit using a drug or engaging in an activity, despite the fact that doing so is harmful to one’s physical and mental health.
This is more important in children who are addicted to digital devices and young teens and adults addicted to smoking, alcohol etc.
It is a medical condition that may be treated and is a chronic condition involving intricate connections between brain circuits, heredity, the environment, and a person’s life experiences.
Addicts frequently continue using drugs or engaging in obsessive activities despite the negative effects.

Symptom of Addiction

  • An inability to stop using a substance even though it may be causing health problems or personal problems, such as issues with employment or relationships
  • Profound changes in appearance, including weight loss and a noticeable abandonment of hygiene

What is depression and addiction rehabilitation?

A comprehensive treatment plan that includes depression and addiction rehabilitation encourages patients to adopt lifestyle adjustments that will promote continued sobriety. Under a Psychiatrist, normally, the treatment programme aims to treat with appropriate medications, educates patients how to manage their emotions, interacts with others in a productive manner, and deals with the stresses of daily life.
However, it is essential to choose rehab therapy for long-term conditions like addiction and chronic diseases like depression. Physical and occupational therapies, along with medications and rigorous medical attention, are offered at many rehabilitation centres for addicts and people with depression. These interventions promote a patient’s slow but thorough recovery.

Advanced Rehabilitation Treatments for depression and addiction

Balaji robotic hospital compliments the rehabilitation following various advanced techniques and technologies based on scientific research such as :

TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION (TMS)

A range of neuropsychiatric illnesses are treated using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a noninvasive technique of brain stimulation. It has been widely utilized to treat a variety of people with addiction, bipolar illness, and depression. In TMS, a magnetic field pulse is created by quickly discharging a bank of capacitors into an electric coil. The magnetic field enters the brain of an animal or human subject when the coil is put close to the head, creating an electric field in the cerebral cortex’s underside. Action potentials are produced when a cortical neuron is depolarized by an electrical field that is strong enough to do so. After that, they spread to produce their biological effects.
As an illustration, TMS over the left motor cortex results in action potentials that go via the corticospinal tract and generate twitches in the skeletal muscles on the opposite side. Multiple layers of the underlying brain tissue have been impacted by this technique. First, TMS modifies cortical region-specific activity. TMS on one major motor cortex decreases the responsiveness to magnetic stimuli in the opposite primary motor cortex. Similar to this, TMS on one part of the brain can change neurotransmitter release in another. For instance, it has been demonstrated that TMS to the left prefrontal cortex increases dopamine release in the ipsilateral caudate nucleus and may even directly modify gene expression patterns. Using this mechanism of TMS depression and addiction are curtailed and cured.

TRANSCUTANEOUS TARGETED ELECTRICAL MODULATION

A new therapeutic approach, Transcutaneous targeted electrical modulation treatment is a method that modifies several brain regions using electrical currents, with the goal of theoretically restoring balance to damaged circuits and, consequently, alleviating symptoms clinically. It entails direct nerve stimulation that further modifies damaged brain regions linked to mental diseases. Solitary tract nucleus, dorsal raphe, locus coeruleus, parabrachial area, amygdala, nucleus accumbent, hippocampus, and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex are among the target regions that have been activated. After 4 weeks of therapy, investigations revealed their associations with changes in clinical outcome using a seed-to-whole brain technique to estimate the FC changes of the hypothalamic subregions and the control areas around them throughout continuous treatment.
