The Mental M.A.P.™
"It's not just a test. It's an experience!" ~ Brendan Vermeire
Get to the root of your Mental Health Struggles with the Mental M.A.P.™
The Mental M.A.P.™ helps elucidate the cause of symptoms from mental health dysfunction. Mental Illnesses have a common underlying theme: Microglial Cell Activation and Dysfunction, Neuroinflammation and Excitotoxicity. Neuroinflammation and excitotoxicity cause neurotransmitter imbalances AND damage to our neurons.
It was designed to be the most comprehensive and reliable test to assess Neuroinflammation, Microglial Activation, and Depressed Neuroplasticity.
Microglial Cells are the primary immune cells of the Central Nervous System!
They are our first line of defense in the brain.
They regulate the inflammatory and excitotoxic response when activated.
They co-regulate Neuroplasticity.
When chronically activated, Microglial Cells can cause neurodegeneration in the brain or “Microglial Activation Syndrome”.
