[Publication] The Asia Pacific Journal of Neurotherapy - Case Report: Neurofeedback to deal with Behavior Difficulties

Abstract

This case report presented a subject, client J who exhibited emotional and behavioral problems which affected his socialization and learning significantly. This client undertook 20 sessions of clinical neurofeedback. The clinical neurofeedback protocols were designed according to a Bottom-up approach with Quantitative Electroencephalogram (QEEG) as a reference. Client J showed significant changes in EEG at the training sites along with changes in problematic behaviors. This finding, while preliminary, suggests that a bottom-up approach may be useful one for designing effective protocols. However, there are other factors likely to have contributed to positive outcomes in this case. In particular, the subject had undertaken early intervention and also participated in other therapies. The parents support and commitment during the period that neurofeedback took place is also likely a significant factor.

Guest Lecturer for the International Cultural Exchange (ICE) Event 2021 (Organized by MAHSA MedSoc and Diponegoro University, Indonesia)



 
Hiro Koo as the Guest Lecturer for the International Cultural Exchange (ICE) Event 2021 (Organized by MAHSA MedSoc and Diponegoro University, Indonesia.

University in interacting and learning together with medical students of MAHSA University. The theme used in ICE 2021 is "Are we okay?: Strengthen Our Mental Health Awareness". This theme is chosen based on the tendency of the increasing number of cases of mental disorders during the COVID-19 pandemic situation. Regardless of the pandemic situation, mental health disorders are contributing to the cause of suicides worldwide. Although it has improved, the general public’s understanding of the importance of mental health and the impact mental disorders have on us needs to be strengthened.

 

I am glad to share my clinical experience in anxiety management and creating awareness for all the future medical doctors here. I hope more people will engage mental health support such as trauma-informed hypnotherapy in the early intervention and secondary prevention phrase. Although poor mental health may not indicate that you live with mental illness, but it still may affect our day to day behaviors and functions of individuals in work.
