Thank you, Dawn. I have heard of using biofeedback for anxiety, I have never seen it used for depression. I would love to try it, however, I live in a very small town and we have very limited medical facilities. How often did you have to go to the training, I get all my medical care in a large town over the mountains but it is anywhere from 1 1/2 hours To 2 hours travel time one way. I will look into this and see if anywhere near here offers biofeedback. Again, thank you .

@lyndam I received my training from my psychologist who was helping me with pain control and depression. I went 1 day a week. I has able to change my blood pressure, pulse rate, body temp by my 3rd visit the 4th visit made our tape and that was all I did. However he was my doc for about a year so decrease to monthly routine follow ups and once it a while he would hook me up to make sure i was still on track. Haven't seen him since 2002.

I take no medications for this. Just the biofeed back & the might Lord above. 😉

I think you need to think of yourself as experiencing normal emotions. The Mayo web site lists depression as an after effect on open heart surgery. I know I could not read in the hospital nor even a lot now after 9 weeks. Walking and any kind of physical exercise that I am able to do help both the fatigue and the depression though both are still there somewhat. Evenings I rent movies that take me away from myself. Give yourself time-pamper yourself-you deserve it. <br><br>

I also live in a small town and travel to Boston which is two hours away but it is worth it as I have Bipolar Disorder and I go to the Bipolar Clinic down there. Most of the doctors there were trained at Harvard Medical School.
