Edward Schiettecatte, CEO of Brain-NM, spoke about the challenges young people face with serious mental health issues. He shared the story of blank” rel=”noopener”>Noëmie, a young woman who felt hopeless but eventually found a way to improve her situation. Her recovery has inspired many families to believe that healing is possible. However, Schiettecatte highlighted that financial barriers often stop families from accessing the treatments they need, prompting the Brain-NM team to address this issue.
How is Brain-NM helping young people like Noëmie access treatment?
Brain-NM has started a fund to help young people get neuromodulation treatments, no matter how much money they have. CEO Edward Schiettecatte said this fund is for families who are inspired by Noëmie’s story but can’t afford the treatments. The goal is to remove money problems so that struggling young people and their families can find chances for recovery. Brain-NM hopes this will not only help with practical needs but also give hope to families who feel lost, making sure everyone can get the help they need.
Noëmie Raes, an 18-year-old girl getting treatment for depression at Brain-NM, recently went to Dubai to accept an award for Excellence in Healthcare. She has struggled with severe depression and disorder for five years, even asking for euthanasia because of her pain. Noëmie is receiving a type of therapy called deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which uses magnetic pulses to help the brain. While TMS can be helpful, it is not covered by insurance in Belgium, making it expensive at over 3,000 euros.

Oh, brilliant! A fund to help families afford mental health treatments—because who needs universal healthcare when we can just throw money at the problem? 💸 It’s like saying, “Here’s a lifebuoy, but good luck swimming in the sea of bills!” 😂
