Holistic Support for Depression with FSM Therapy
Innovative Microcurrent Therapy to Enhance Emotional Well-Being
FSM Therapy for Depression in Zurich: Holistic, Gentle, and Effective
Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM) Therapy is a gentle, modern approach to alleviating depressive symptoms. It supports the balance of vital neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine and reduces inflammatory processes often linked to depression.
How FSM Helps with Depression
Key Benefits:
Stabilizing Neurotransmitter Balance
FSM therapy naturally promotes the release of neurotransmitters that support mood and emotional stability, helping to reduce depressive symptoms.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Recent studies show that inflammation in the body can worsen depressive symptoms. FSM helps reduce inflammatory cytokines, positively affecting neurobiological balance.
Enhancing Neural Plasticity
FSM promotes the brain’s adaptability by boosting neural plasticity, helping to stabilize emotional well-being in the long term and reduce the risk of relapse.
Reduction of Cortisol and Stress Response
FSM therapy has been observed to help lower cortisol levels, a stress hormone commonly elevated in patients with depression. This reduction may support the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, promoting a balanced stress response.
Improvement in Mitochondrial Function
FSM may enhance mitochondrial function, leading to better cellular energy production. This boost in cellular energy can help alleviate fatigue, a common symptom in depression, and support improved motivation.
Regulation of the Autonomic Nervous System
By stimulating the vagus nerve and influencing autonomic regulation, FSM can help balance sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system activity. This balance may reduce symptoms of irritability, stress, and mood instability associated with depression.
Muscle Relaxation and Pain Relief
FSM’s low-level currents target areas of muscle tension and inflammation, which can help alleviate physical discomfort often accompanying depression, such as muscle pain and somatic tension activity. This balance may reduce symptoms of irritability, stress, and mood instability associated with depression.
Treatment Process
Initial Consultation and First Treatment
The initial consultation includes a thorough analysis of your symptoms and needs, followed by the first FSM treatment to begin therapy with a targeted approach. Based on your body’s response, a tailored treatment plan is developed, defining optimal frequencies and session intervals.
Regular Sessions for Optimal Results
Each FSM treatment session lasts 60–90 minutes, focusing on strengthening neurotransmitter balance and reducing inflammation in the body.
Frequency and Duration
For best results, we recommend 1–2 sessions per week over 4–6 weeks to achieve sustainable symptom relief.

FSM and Science
How Microcurrent Alleviates Depressive Symptoms
Studies show a connection between elevated cytokine levels and depression. Cytokines are inflammatory proteins that can affect the nervous system and worsen depressive symptoms. One of the most significant studies, “Inflammation and Its Discontents: The Role of Cytokines in the Pathophysiology of Major Depression” by Raison, Capuron & Miller (2006), explores this link. FSM can help lower these inflammatory cytokines, restoring balance in neurobiological processes disrupted by inflammation and supporting serotonin and dopamine regulation, leading to a noticeable reduction in depressive symptoms.
Stories That Inspire Hope
