DEPRESSION & HYPERBARICS

Depression has been associated with reduced blood flow and impaired oxygen delivery to certain areas of the brain. Pure oxygen supplied during HBOT helps the body oxygenate tissues, enhancing blood flow and providing the brain with more oxygen.

DEPRESSION & HYPERBARICS

Depression is a prevalent and debilitating condition affecting many individuals worldwide.  One of the ways hyperbaric oxygen therapy may help reduce depression is by increasing the oxygen available to the brain.

​Depression has been associated with reduced blood flow and impaired oxygen delivery to certain areas of the brain. Pure oxygen supplied during HBOT helps the body oxygenate tissues, enhancing blood flow and providing the brain with more oxygen. Among the immediate effects is reduced pressure on the brain as blood circulates more freely.

The increased oxygen supply from HBOT also stimulates the production of growth factors, promoting the formation of new blood vessels. This ideally leads to improved brain function and enhanced neuroplasticity, which is the brain’s ability to adapt and change. If successful, this may help with longer-term anxiety relief and an increase in overall cognitive health.
