Generally speaking, too much fast brain wave activity on the right side and/or too much slow activity on the left side causes or greatly exacerbates depression and anxiety. Neurofeedback helps to bring these brain waves into balance.

You're correct about neurofeedback not being a reliable monotherapy, in many cases. But even when neurofeedback doesn't suffice on its own, it frequently allows people to significantly reduce their medication dosages.

Peter Van Deusen, one of neurofeedback's leading trainers of other clinicians, describes his approach in this podcast:
