Bipolar Disorder: Is Drug-Free Support Possible?
NeuroCes™, a CE-certified medical device, can help alleviate anxiety, depression, and sleep problems that often accompany bipolar disorder. Since 2018, it has been used by thousands of people across Europe to support mental balance and emotional stability safely and effectively.
Bipolar Disorder & NeuroCes™
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). Managing bipolar disorder often involves a combination of medication, therapy, lifestyle changes, and sometimes medical devices.
NeuroCes™ is a Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulator (CES) device used to treat mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and insomnia. It works by applying small, pulsed electrical currents to the brain, which can help modulate neural activity and improve mood and sleep patterns.
Mood Stabilization
Manic Episodes: During manic episodes, individuals often experience elevated energy levels, reduced need for sleep, and sometimes impulsive behavior. NeuroCes™ can help promote relaxation and reduce excessive neural activity, thereby helping to lessen the intensity of manic symptoms.
Depressive Episodes: During depressive periods, people may experience feelings of sadness, lack of motivation, and hopelessness. NeuroCes™ can help stimulate the production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, improving mood and alleviating depressive symptoms.
Vermindering van depressieve symptomen
Onderzoek heeft aangetoond dat Craniale Elektrotherapie-Stimulatie (CES) effectief is bij het verminderen van depressieve symptomen, een kernaspect van de bipolaire stoornis. NeuroCes™ helpt deze symptomen te verlichten door de productie van serotonine en andere stemmingsregulerende neurotransmitters te bevorderen.
Modulatie van neurotransmitters: CES beïnvloedt de niveaus van serotonine, dopamine en endorfines, stoffen die een essentiële rol spelen in de emotionele regulatie. Door deze chemische stoffen in evenwicht te brengen, helpt NeuroCes™ om depressieve symptomen te verminderen.
Vermindering van angstklachten
Veel mensen met een bipolaire stoornis ervaren ook aanzienlijke niveaus van angst. NeuroCes™ kan helpen om angst te verminderen door de stressrespons van de hersenen te moduleren en een rustiger mentale toestand te bevorderen. Dit is bijzonder gunstig, aangezien angst vaak andere symptomen van de bipolaire stoornis kan versterken.
Alfa-golfactiviteit: NeuroCes™ verhoogt de activiteit van alfagolven in de hersenen, die worden geassocieerd met ontspanning en innerlijke rust. Dit effect kan bijdragen aan het verminderen van angstniveaus bij mensen met een bipolaire stoornis.
Verbetering van de slaapkwaliteit
Slaapproblemen komen vaak voor bij de bipolaire stoornis: mensen hebben vaak slapeloosheid tijdens manische fasen en overmatige slaperigheid tijdens depressieve fasen. NeuroCes™ kan helpen om de slaapritmes te reguleren door ontspanning te bevorderen en de hersenhyperactiviteit te verminderen tijdens manie, wat leidt tot een betere slaapkwaliteit.
Slaappatroon: NeuroCes™ bevordert ontspanning en vermindert de overmatige hersenactiviteit, waardoor het inslapen wordt vergemakkelijkt en de continuïteit van de slaap wordt verbeterd.
Treatment and Management of Bipolar Disorder
In the case of bipolar disorder, it is difficult to speak of a single “cure rate”; the focus is instead on remission and stabilization. The goal of treatment is to alleviate symptoms, reduce the intensity of episodes, and maintain long-term remission in order to preserve quality of life. Scientific studies show that with appropriate treatment and proper support, the majority of patients can experience significant improvement and lead a stable, balanced life.
NeuroCes™ and Bipolar Disorder
NeuroCes™ targets the neurobiological imbalances underlying mood fluctuations in bipolar disorder.
By restoring balance in key brain regions such as the prefrontal cortex and limbic system, it helps alleviate both manic and depressive symptoms. The device regulates serotonin, dopamine, and melatonin levels, enhances GABA activity, and reduces cortisol, thereby balancing the body’s stress response system. Additionally, NeuroCes™ increases alpha brainwave activity, which promotes mental calmness and emotional stability.
For the first time, I truly feel at peace
Due to my bipolar disorder, I lived for years with constant ups and downs, and it was especially hard to deal with anxiety and insomnia. After I started using the NeuroCes™ device, for the first time in my life, I began to feel genuinely peaceful and calm. Now I fall asleep more easily at night and wake up with more energy in the morning. This device is not just a product - it’s a real beacon of hope that has helped me regain my quality of life. I’m deeply grateful to have access to such an effective solution.

NeuroCes™ helps relieve both depressive and manic symptoms by restoring the neuro-electrical balance in the brain regions involved in mood regulation. Through its homeostatic mechanism of action, the device contributes to stabilizing emotional fluctuations and supports a more balanced and regulated mood state.
Yes. The CES technology works by balancing the central nervous system and can therefore help not only with depression but also with reducing excessive hyperactivation during manic episodes.
When manic symptoms are severe, the use of the device should always take place under medical supervision.
Yes, the NeuroCes™ device is a non-invasive, drug-free therapeutic option that works through Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES).
In cases of bipolar disorder, it can help regulate the nervous system and stabilize mood fluctuations.
However, since bipolar disorder is a complex condition with an individual course, it is strongly recommended to consult your physician before considering NeuroCes™ as a drug-free alternative.
In most cases, the device is used as a complementary treatment alongside existing therapies.
Yes, NeuroCes™ is marketed in the European Union as a medical device that does not require a prescription.
It can therefore be purchased and used freely without the need for a medical prescription.There are no contraindications for using NeuroCes™ in combination with medication.
The device’s stimulation signal does not interfere with pharmacological treatments.
When you experience sustained symptom relief, you may discuss with your doctor whether it is possible to reduce your dosage or gradually discontinue medication.
The technology of Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES) has been studied as an adjunctive treatment method for bipolar disorder, particularly for alleviating depressive symptoms. In a randomized controlled study conducted by Amr et al. (2013), a significant improvement was observed in patients with bipolar depression following CES treatment. The study demonstrated a statistically significant reduction (p < 0.001) in Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) scores in the group treated with CES, and this effect was maintained for six weeks. Furthermore, the treatment was well tolerated, and no serious adverse effects were reported.
