Elumind
Bringing integrated mental health and Brain Excellence services under One Roof

Achieving optimal mental health necessitates a comprehensive and integrated approach that encompasses all aspects instead of focusing on isolated components.

Delivering just that is Elumind, a leading mental health & brain center that improves cognitive abilities like memory, attention, problem-solving, and reasoning skills through its intuitive brain training programs. The center’s mental health exercises and activities are designed to train the brain. It conducts in-person or online assessments to understand the specific needs of individuals.

One of its primary tools is QEEG brain mapping, which analyzes a person’s brain patterns and electrical activity to offer valuable insights into their individualized pathways. It accurately foresees potential challenges an individual might face by integrating the assessment results with dedicated online or in-person check-ups. QEEG mapping is proven to ease users with depression, anxiety, autism, OCD, memory disorders, developmental disorders (DD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

“We deliver a collection of holistic neurotherapeutic modalities that enable us to identify the root cause and address an individual’s psychological, physical, and nutritional needs,” says Dr. Kourosh Edalati, medical director and CEO of Elumind Centres for Brain Excellence.

When a person struggles with a mental health disorder, parts of their brain start working erratically. This leads to unbalanced and asymmetrical brainwaves. Using its brain training prowess, Elumind provides a robust neurofeedback service to promote balance and optimize brainwaves.

The principle behind this program is operant learning, which encompasses positive and negative reinforcement, where the individual is rewarded or negatively reinforced according to their activity. Through its neurofeedback sessions, individuals receive personalized evaluations and support to self-regulate their brain activity and establish more robust and healthy brainwave patterns.

Another key service that strengthens Elumind’s proficiency in supporting mental health care is its transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) offering, backed by Brainsway’s deep TMS technology. The procedure involves placing a magnet on specific areas of the cranium overlying brain structures where issues like depression or OCD are observed. The induced magnetic field stimulates improved neurotransmitter or chemical conductance, reducing inflammation and enhancing blood flow.

In Canada, where TMS is approved for certain indications, Elumind’s deep TMS sessions offer better penetration of underlying brain structures than regular figure-eight coil TMS solutions.

Recognizing the significance of diet in mental health, it also provides a nutrition assessment service. When implementing these regimes, patients are typically asked to maintain a two-week food log, allowing the team to gain insights into their eating habits. This information serves as a basis for nutritional consultations and enables the center to make appropriate recommendations and adjustments for streamlining an individual’s nutritional intake. It addresses the impact of chemicals consumed through day-to-day foods, diagnoses gut health, and examines neurotransmitter levels to determine the presence of toxins in the body.

Unlike its contemporaries relying solely on a single toolset, Elumind uses various impactful tools, conveniently available under one roof, to support patients. This holistic approach has been instrumental in relieving numerous individuals grappling with mental health challenges. In one instance, it assisted a patient struggling with constant and intense nerve pain in his foot, even during sleep, due to a traumatic experience. Despite undergoing various tests, doctors could not provide effective solutions.

Upon visiting its centers and consulting with experienced medical professionals and clinical counselors, the patient underwent a QEEG mapping session and subsequently underwent neurofeedback and psychotherapy treatments. This comprehensive treatment model yielded successful results, and the patient is now free from pain and experiencing significant relief.

Elumind’s integrated approach to mental and brain health positions it at the forefront of the Neurotherapy field. Its portfolio will continue delivering comprehensive care and support as clients embark on their mental health journey.
