Dr. Eduardo Castro went to the University of Virginia Department of Behavioral Medicine and Psychiatry in Charlottesville, Virginia completing a four year psychiatry residency program. Upon completion of his Residency training, Dr. Castro worked for the next eleven years as a psychiatrist, practicing well within the confines of mainstream medicine. In 1993 he came across intriguing information about the usefulness of a form of biofeedback, called neurofeedback, for treating a number of the conditions that he was then treating with medications. Fully inculcated in mainstream medicine thinking, he dismissed it as likely insignificant until he found several other such references to neurofeedback. He eventually sought out and discussed the treatment with experienced neurofeedback practitioners, and interviewed patients who had been treated with neurofeedback. It was at this point that he took his first tentative step outside of mainstream medicine, and signed up for intensive training in neurofeedback. It proved to be a professional rebirth for him, and it changed the course of his life.
