Are You Struggling with Negative Moods?
If you’ve been dealing with negative moods, you’re not alone—over 19 million adults face similar challenges.
Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, sad, isolated, mentally foggy, or disconnected are all common symptoms of negative moods.
Research from Keck Imaging Labs at the University of Wisconsin shows that people with negative moods often experience reduced activity in the left side of the brain, which is responsible for fostering positive emotions. When brainwave patterns become imbalanced, it can significantly impact your mood and overall well-being.
Medication is Not a Long-Term Solution
Medications can have their place in the short term, but they do not address the underlying brainwave abnormality.

Negative Moods Are More Complex Than You Think
Negative moods are not simply a case of feeling “blue” or being “down in the dumps.”
While occasional sadness is a normal part of life, the problem arises when these feelings persist, refusing to lift and becoming more than just a temporary phase. Prolonged sadness can affect every aspect of your life, from eating and sleeping to your work, relationships, and sense of self.
Multiple Factors Contribute
Negative moods can result from a complex blend of factors, including genetics, brain chemistry, lifestyle, environment, and personality, all of which can be aggravated by stress. When key areas of the brain—such as the left prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for fostering positive moods and social interaction—are affected, your mood can shift dramatically.
As brainwave activity on the left side slows down, you may withdraw from others, lose interest in activities, and feel the urge to stay in bed. This leads to a cycle of low energy, disrupted sleep, and persistent negativity, which protects the brain from overwhelming stress. While brief periods of sadness are normal, when these feelings last for more than two weeks and start disrupting daily life, it becomes a serious issue.
How Can BrainCore Neurofeedback Help with Negative Moods?
Neurofeedback offers a drug-free, non-invasive, and natural approach to managing negative moods. Many neurofeedback therapists focus on balancing brainwave activity by placing electrodes on both sides of the brain. The goal is to increase alpha brain waves on the right side while reducing them on the left, helping to activate the left side of the brain, which is linked to positive mood regulation.
Over several sessions, abnormal brainwave patterns are reduced, leading to improved brain function. As brain function improves, so does mood, helping individuals achieve a more positive outlook and better overall outcomes.
