NewsGuard 100/100 Score

Fisher Wallace Laboratories today announced the launch of a bold YouTube video campaign that challenges the pharmaceutical drug industry and introduces the company's easy-to-use medical device prescribed for the self-treatment of depression: the Fisher Wallace Cranial Stimulator. The campaign's first 60-second video personifies the side effects of antidepressants as a 350-pound, tattooed hulk that shows up at a psychiatrist's office when drugs are prescribed: https://www.youtube.com/user/FisherWallaceLabs.

“Approximately 80 percent of my patients who have been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, stress related disorders or insomnia have reported positive changes.”

Written, developed, and produced by Kelly Roman, Vice President of Fisher Wallace Laboratories, the video explicitly highlights side effects such as weight gain, diarrhea, and loss of libido and then prompts the viewer to discover a "pharmaceutical-free alternative" at www.FisherWallace.com.

The FDA has cleared the device to be marketed for the treatment of depression, anxiety and insomnia. The technology has been shown to stimulate the brain's production of serotonin and dopamine by delivering gentle electrical stimulation to the head at patented frequencies. The only side effects associated with using the device are the rare occurrence of a mild headache, dizziness or mild skin irritation. The company offers a full refund within 60 days of receipt should the device not successfully treat a patient's symptoms.

"I have seen very positive results [with patients], often within the first two weeks of using the device," states Dr. Richard Brown, M.D., assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at Columbia University, "Approximately 80 percent of my patients who have been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, stress related disorders or insomnia have reported positive changes." Dr. Brown and his colleague at Columbia University, Dr. Andres San Martin, M.D., have prescribed the Fisher Wallace Cranial Stimulator to over 300 patients. Support from the medical community is also evidenced by the company's medical advisory board, which features several of the nation's top psychiatrists.
