Has anyone tried Cogmed? My therapist who I been seeing for a short time now suggested it to me. Its a learning tool, that helps you build and retain memory skills better. There is a website for it called www.cogmed.com I believe. I am interested in trying it out, I guess its a 5 week program, that involves about 1/2 hr to 45 mins a day for 5 days each of the 5 weeks. Its a computer based program, and each day the results get sent to your therapist where they can evaluate what you have learned and help you progress. I am thinking on doing this, the only downside is the cost. Its not covered under any insurance plan that I know of, because mainly its a learning tool, rather then a medication or therapy session per se. Which just stinks, the cost from what my therapist said to me, is 1500 hundred dollars. Which to me is really expensive for a program. But he did tell me, that alot of people that have done this retain better memory even after being tested 5 years after having done the program. So its not all nonesence, I guess. Has anyone here heard of Cogmed and has done it? Is it really beneficial, and worth the hefty price. I am still debating on whether to try and manage it to afford this treatment, I just don't know how I could come up with that kind of money.
