Makenzie Mason, a 19-year-old student athlete at the University of Florida, recently shared her battle with depression and anxiety in an article in ESPN The Magazine.
“I know firsthand that depression is a deadly illness that most people can’t see,” says UF lacrosse player Makenzie Mason. “That’s why I decided to speak up on the issue from the perspective of someone actually going through it.”
Mason goes in depth about her experience and journey to treat her depression and anxiety, including her use of Alpha-Stim.
“In addition to neurofeedback, I was introduced to Alpha-Stim, an electrotherapy device that has been used to treat depression, anxiety and even PTSD. The Alpha-Stim sends alpha waves through my brain which allows my brain to calm itself when I am crippled with anxiety or too depressed. These treatments, in addition to regular appointments with a counselor, have been very helpful. I’ve seen results I never thought possible. I feel like I am getting a second chance at life and my life is becoming my own again,” says Mason.
