    Electrical Brain Stimulation for Alexithymia?

    That's a huge improvement though. Isn't it? Why aren't these benefits of electric brain stimulation being advertised or being noted for further research?

    Hi! Im Tootse.

    I'm glad you found my other thread on alexi. Again, I can't promise similar results as my hubs has had but the brain stimulator has enabled him to actually feel other range of emotions besides anger. He, me too, is really impressed. To actually *see* joy/smiles and even sadness on my hubs face...

    I searched for any posts but nothing came up. I'm glad to hear it helped you. It's helped me too. Do you by chance have Alexithymia? Did it help you feel emotions you hadn't felt before?

    Electrical Brain Stimulation for Alexithymia?

    Has anyone, by chance, with Alexithymia heard of or experienced a swell of emotions after using an electrical brain stimulator? I recently got the Fisher Wallace Stimulator for my own depression and insomnia (Cassandra Syndromer here). My husband with ASD1/Aspergers decided to try it out for...

    Hi! Im Tootse.

    My husband and I, after 3 decades of marriage, have just come to realize(3 most ago) he has Aspergers/ASD1 and Alexithymia (we've self diagnosed). Finally having a name for our issues has been a blessing. But now I'm trying to learn more so I can try to help and support him better because I...
