I just came across the movie storybook for Disney's Wish in Target and read it.

Massive spoilers below...

So, the villain is a powerful, charismatic king with the supernatural at his command, whom everyone thinks is good. The heroine initially admires him and wants to serve him, only to learn that he's actually selfish and power-hungry. Meanwhile, the king has a sympathetic wife, who eventually joins the heroes' side and helps them. In the end, a magical power, embodied by light, defeats the king and imprisons him forever. Then a woman (in this case his wife) becomes the new benevolent leader in his place.

Why, oh why does every new family movie have such strong parallels with my novel An Eternal Crown!?

Granted, apart from the details above, the plots are dissimilar. But I'm starting to think I can never get An Eternal Crown published, because people will assume it's a knockoff of so many things! First the parallels of Prince Zeran's arc with Ken's arc in Barbie, and now this!

At any rate, I now think I should change the name of my High Priestess Anaia, because her name is almost identical to that of Queen Amaya from Wish, who shares her position as the woman who becomes the new ruler after the king's defeat. (Although as a whole, of course, Amaya's role corresponds to that of Queen Lusina in An Eternal Crown's backstory.) Maybe I should change her name back to what it was in my first draft: "Alesta." I originally changed it because I was worried that "Alesta" sounded too much like "Celestia," and since she's a ruler with a sun theme, I didn't want to evoke My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. But maybe enough time has past since that cartoon's heyday that I can change it back.

Should I keep her name as it is, or change it? Please give me some input!

The impact of neurofeedback on depression and mood disorders.

Introduction to Neurofeedback

Definition of Neurofeedback Neurofeedback, also known as EEG biofeedback, is a type of biofeedback that uses real-time displays of brain activity to teach self-regulation of brain function. This technique allows individuals to understand their brainwave patterns and learn how to modify them. The goal of neurofeedback is to transform an unhealthy, dysregulated brainwave pattern into a normal, healthy, organized pattern. Brief History of Neurofeedback Neurofeedback has its roots in the 1960s when Dr. Joe Kamiya conducted a study on alpha wave training at the University of Chicago. The field has since evolved, with advancements in technology and neuroscience leading to more sophisticated and targeted neurofeedback training methods. How Neurofeedback Works Neurofeedback works by providing information about specific brainwave patterns and teaching the brain to self-regulate and function more efficiently. This is achieved through a process that involves monitoring brain activity using sensors placed on the scalp. The information is then fed back to the individual in the form of a video game or sound, which responds to the individual's brainwave activity. Over time, the brain learns to control the feedback, thereby learning to regulate its own activity.

Understanding Depression and Mood Disorders

Definition of Depression and Mood Disorders Depression and mood disorders are mental health conditions characterized by significant changes in mood that affect daily life. They include conditions such as: Major Depressive Disorder Major depressive disorder, often referred to as depression, is characterized by a persistent feeling of sadness or a lack of interest in outside stimuli. It affects how you feel, think and behave and can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. You can learn more about it here. Bipolar Disorder Bipolar disorder, formerly known as manic depression, is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). Dysthymia Dysthymia, now known as persistent depressive disorder (PDD), is a chronic form of depression. While dysthymia is not as intense as major depression, its long-term nature means that it can have a significant impact on quality of life. Cyclothymia Cyclothymia, or cyclothymic disorder, is a relatively mild mood disorder. It's characterized by mood swings between short periods of mild depression and hypomania, an elevated mood. Causes and Symptoms of Depression and Mood Disorders Depression and mood disorders can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetic predisposition, hormonal imbalances, and environmental factors. Symptoms can range from feelings of sadness and hopelessness to physical symptoms such as fatigue and insomnia. For a more detailed overview of depression, visit our Depression Guide.

The Impact of Neurofeedback on Depression

The Role of Neurofeedback in Treating Depression How Neurofeedback Targets Depression Neurofeedback targets depression by helping to regulate abnormal brainwave patterns associated with the condition. By teaching the brain to self-regulate, neurofeedback can help to alleviate the symptoms of depression and improve overall mood and functioning. This is achieved through a series of neurofeedback sessions, where the individual learns to control their brainwave activity. Success Stories and Case Studies There are numerous success stories and case studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of neurofeedback in treating depression. For example, a study published in the Journal of Affective Disorders found that neurofeedback significantly reduced symptoms of depression in patients with major depressive disorder. The Benefits of Using Neurofeedback for Depression Non-Invasive Treatment One of the key benefits of neurofeedback is that it is a non-invasive treatment. Unlike medication or surgery, neurofeedback does not involve any physical intervention, making it a safe and risk-free treatment option. Long-Term Impact Another benefit of neurofeedback is its potential for long-term impact. Because neurofeedback teaches the brain to self-regulate, the benefits can continue long after the treatment has ended. This can lead to lasting improvements in mood and overall mental health.

The Impact of Neurofeedback on Mood Disorders

The Role of Neurofeedback in Treating Mood Disorders How Neurofeedback Targets Mood Disorders Similar to its role in treating depression, neurofeedback targets mood disorders by helping to regulate abnormal brainwave patterns. By teaching the brain to self-regulate, neurofeedback can help to alleviate the symptoms of mood disorders and improve overall mood stability. Success Stories and Case Studies There are numerous success stories and case studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of neurofeedback in treating mood disorders. For example, a study published in the Journal of Affective Disorders found that neurofeedback significantly reduced symptoms of bipolar disorder in patients. The Benefits of Using Neurofeedback for Mood Disorders Non-Invasive Treatment As with depression, one of the key benefits of neurofeedback for mood disorders is that it is a non-invasive treatment. This makes it a safe and risk-free treatment option for individuals with mood disorders. Long-Term Impact Another benefit of neurofeedback for mood disorders is its potential for long-term impact. Because neurofeedback teaches the brain to self-regulate, the benefits can continue long after the treatment has ended. This can lead to lasting improvements in mood stability and overall mental health.

Comparison with Other Treatments

Neurofeedback vs. Medication Effectiveness While medication is often effective in treating depression and mood disorders, it does not work for everyone. In contrast, neurofeedback has been shown to be effective in a wide range of individuals, making it a viable alternative for those who do not respond to medication. Side Effects Medication can often have side effects, some of which can be severe. Neurofeedback, on the other hand, is a non-invasive treatment with no known side effects, making it a safer option for many individuals. Neurofeedback vs. Psychotherapy Effectiveness While psychotherapy can be effective in treating depression and mood disorders, it often takes time to see results. In contrast, neurofeedback can often lead to improvements in a shorter time frame. Duration of Treatment Psychotherapy often requires long-term treatment, while neurofeedback can often lead to improvements in a shorter time frame. This can make neurofeedback a more convenient option for many individuals.

Conclusion

Recap of the Impact of Neurofeedback on Depression and Mood Disorders In conclusion, neurofeedback has shown significant promise in treating depression and mood disorders. By helping to regulate abnormal brainwave patterns, neurofeedback can help to alleviate symptoms and improve overall mood and functioning. With its non-invasive nature and potential for long-term impact, neurofeedback is a viable treatment option for many individuals. Future Research and Developments in Neurofeedback While the current research on neurofeedback is promising, more studies are needed to further understand its full potential in treating depression and mood disorders. Future research will likely focus on refining neurofeedback techniques and exploring its effectiveness in treating a wider range of mental health conditions.
