Description
[0001]Attorney Docket No. MLT-005PCT DEVICES AND RELATED METHODS FOR TREATMENT OF BRAIN DISORDERS AND STIMULATING CHANGE IN PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 559,441, filed on February 29, 2024, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Over the last couple decades, the theory that the brain is comprised of two hemispheres has been explored by several leading scientists, including Dr. Fredric Schiffer. In this respect, a number of existing split-brain studies have suggested that most people are of two minds, each associated with one brain hemisphere. One hemisphere is associated with an immature mind that may be affected by childhood traumas and is prone to self-destructive thoughts and feelings leading to diagnosable symptoms. The other hemisphere is much more resilient to the past traumas and functions at a much higher level. The healthier hemisphere is the right hemisphere in about 50% of patients, and this runs counter to the established notion that negative emotions are always associated with the right hemisphere. Hundreds of millions of people world-wide suffer from brain disorders. Such disorders include psychiatric and neurologic disorders including, but not limited to disorders such as, depression, attention deficit disorder, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, alcoholism, eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia, phobias, Asperser's syndrome, dissociative disorders, insomnia, Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Autism, Stroke, and borderline personality disorder. These disorders are often chronic and require long-term treatment / therapy options that provide varying degrees of successful outcomes. Anxiety disorders are the most prevalent illness in the United States with a prevalence of over 40 million adults, or about 18% of the population, each year. Anxiety disorders are often associated with depression, with persons suffering it being six times Attorney Docket No. MLT-005PCT more likely to have a psychiatric hospitalization. Moreover, depression is the leading cause of disability world-wide, with an overall prevalence of almost 30% of populations studied having some sub-population having an incidence of over 50%. Sadly, depression not only causes profound suffering for the individual and their family, but also reduces social functioning and productivity and promotes other serious diseases, including diseases from cardiovascular to Alzheimer’s Diseases, and is strongly associated with substance abuse and other mental illnesses as well as suicide. Moreover, drug abusing patients demonstrate mental distress, health complications, loss of productivity, and increased criminality, which are injurious not only to patients and their families, but also to society as a whole. Furthermore, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and post-traumatic stress disorders are often co-morbid, with the ultimate effect resulting in the need for reliable treatments that might account for all of these disorders simultaneously. Although treatment options exist (often addressing individual disorders alone), given the prevalence and often the life-long concerns of these disorders, new and advancing treatment options are highly desirable. Convenience and comfort are two major factors in the success of treatments for brain disorders. As such, personal access to tools or devices that not only assist in treatment of brain disorders, such as depression or anxiety, but offer access to such therapy incorporated more seamlessly into daily life, i.e., lifestyle suitable, would offer daily convenient relief to patients and their families in a more comforting environment. Moreover, making it lifestyle suitable further helps reduce stigma of use and reduces self-consciousness of the person undergoing treatment. As such, new methods of treating brain disorders are needed, along with new devices that are capable of implementing these methods. In particular, there is a need for devices and treatments that offer lifestyle suitable solutions that are incorporated seamlessly into daily life. Moreover, a need exists for tools / devices that can stimulate a change in the psychological state of the subject, for example to improve well-being, particularly in a manner that is lifestyle suitable. Attorney Docket No. MLT-005PCT SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention is directed to novel devices and related methods of treating brain disorders. Such devices, include pairs of eyeglasses and clip- on accessories for a pair of eyeglasses constructed to asymmetrically integrate an occlusion eye lens component and a tinted eye lens component. In addition, the present invention provides methods of treatment utilizing these devices. These devices and methods offer lifestyle suitable solutions that may be incorporated seamlessly into daily life. Further, the devices of the present invention are capable of stimulating a change in the psychological state of the subject, for example to improve well-being, particularly in a manner that is lifestyle suitable. As such, one aspect of the present invention provides a clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses comprising: a frame, constructed to asymmetrically integrate two eye lens components, incorporating a clip retainer that reversibly affixes the frame to a pair of eyeglasses of a wearer; an occlusion eye lens component integrated on one side of the frame designed and positioned for full occlusion of a first lateral retina of the first eye of the wearer, wherein the occlusion eye lens component is positioned from about the lateral-medial retina division line of the first eye of the wearer to about the inner corner of the eye of the wearer; and a tinted eye lens component integrated on the other side of the frame positioned for view by the entire retina of the second eye of the wearer, wherein the occlusion lens component and the tinted eye lens component are integrated asymmetrically in the frame. Another aspect of the present invention provides a pair of eyeglasses comprising: an eyeglasses frame-front securing two lenses, wherein the frame-front is connected with a bridge and terminating in two temples, constructed to asymmetrically integrate an occlusion eye lens component and a tinted eye lens component; an occlusion eye lens component integrated on one side of the frame designed and positioned for full occlusion of a first lateral retina of the first eye of the wearer, wherein the occlusion eye lens component is positioned from about the lateral-medial retina division line of the first eye of the wearer to about the inner corner of the eye of the wearer; and a tinted eye lens component integrated on the other side of the frame positioned for view by the entire retina of the second eye of the wearer, wherein the Attorney Docket No. MLT-005PCT occlusion lens component and the tinted eye lens component are integrated asymmetrically in the frame. Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for treatment of a brain disorder characterized by neurologic or psychiatric disorder symptomology with a lateralized difference in hemispheric emotional valence, comprising: identifying a patient with a brain disorder; measuring a left hemispheric emotional valence for a left hemisphere of a brain of the patient and a right hemispheric emotional valence for a right hemisphere of the brain of the patient to identify a patient with a lateralized difference in hemispheric emotional valence; determining which hemisphere of the brain of the patient with a lateralized difference in hemispheric emotional valence has a more positive valence, and which hemisphere of the brain has a more negative valence; and applying to the patient a clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses of the present invention or a pair of eyeglasses of the present invention, wherein the occlusion lens component is designed and positioned for full occlusion of the lateral retina associated with the hemisphere of the brain with the more negative valence combined with differential stimulation of the opposing retina, such that the brain disorder with lateralized difference in hemispheric emotional valence is treated in said patient. Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for stimulating a change in the psychological state of a subject, comprising the steps of: determining which hemisphere of the brain of a subject with a lateralized difference in hemispheric emotional valence has a more positive valence and which has a more negative valence; applying to the subject a clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses of the present invention or a pair of eyeglasses of the present invention, wherein the occlusion lens component is designed and positioned for full occlusion of the lateral retina associated with the hemisphere of the brain with the more negative valence combined with differential stimulation of the opposing retina; and such that the full occlusion of lateral retina associated with the hemisphere of the brain with the more negative valence combined with differential stimulation of the opposing retina provides favorable change in the psychological state of the subject. Attorney Docket No. MLT-005PCT BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES Advantages of the present methods and related devices will be apparent from the following detailed description, which description should be considered in combination with the accompanying figures, which are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way. FIG.1 depicts a schematic diagram of the eyes, the retinas (i.e., lateral and medial), and how each contribute to the visual fields. FIG.2 is a front perspective view of one embodiment of the clip-on accessories for a pair of eyeglasses of the present invention, wherein the occlusion eye lens component would present on the left eye of the wearer. FIG.3 is a rear perspective view the clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses depicted in FIG.2. FIG.4 is a rear perspective view of one embodiment of the clip-on accessories for a pair of eyeglasses of the present invention, wherein the occlusion eye lens component would present on the right eye of the wearer. FIG.5 is a front perspective top down view of the clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses depicted in FIG.2, presented as clipped onto a pair of eyeglasses with temples open.

Attorney Docket No. MLT-005PCT DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention offers a tool for a novel method of lateral visual occlusion combined with differential stimulation of the opposing retina. In this respect, the tools / devices offered in the present invention utilize the newly identified optimal positioning of the occlusion component based on the lateral-medial retina division line ensuring full occlusion of the lateral retina of one eye, which is combined with differential stimulation of the opposing lateral retina. The location of the occlusion component, and alternatively the visually accessible field defined by the lateral-medial retina division line, is critical for the treatment of brain disorders or improved stimulation of changes in psychological state; offering significant improvement over techniques that create peripheral rather than lateral visual field access and / or where the occlusion components are too small. Beyond that, offering combination differential stimulation of the opposing retina using a tinted lens affords a device that is not just therapeutic, but lifestyle conforming or suitable; wherein even though the lateral retina is fully occluded for one eye, the visual impact is negated by the brain compensating to show a complete image (i.e., a wearer does not notice the lateral retina is blocked). This affords a device that can be worn outside a designated treatment facility and while engaging in normal life activities. Moreover, in certain embodiments, including an occlusion component within a full sized lens with an occlusion area, and the non-occlusion area being tinted would be highly lifestyle suitable. As such, the present invention is directed to novel devices and related methods of treating brain disorders. Such devices, include pairs of eyeglasses and clip-on accessories for a pair of eyeglasses constructed to asymmetrically integrate an occlusion eye lens component and a tinted eye lens component. In addition, the present invention provides methods of treatment utilizing these devices. These devices and methods offer lifestyle suitable solutions that may be incorporated seamlessly into daily life. Further, the devices of the present invention are capable of stimulating a change in the psychological state of the subject, for example to improve well-being, particularly in a manner that is lifestyle suitable. Attorney Docket No. MLT-005PCT The present invention, including devices and methods will be described with reference to the following definitions that, for convenience, are set forth below. Unless otherwise specified, the below terms used herein are defined as follows: I. Definitions As used herein, the term "a,” "an,” "the” and similar terms used in the context of the present invention (especially in the context of the claims) are to be construed to cover both the singular and plural unless otherwise indicated herein or clearly contradicted by the context. The term “about” is used herein in reference to the degree or extent of the term which it modifies, and that such extent may be 100% or near to but not exactly 100% of the modified term; industry accepted standards will assist in defining the quantitative aspects of how “near” 100% is defined. In particular embodiments, the term “about” indicates ±3%, ±2%, ±1% or ±0.5%. In a particular embodiment, for example, the language “positioned from about the lateral-medial retina division line of the first eye of the wearer” would be exactly from the lateral-medial retina division line. In an alternative particular embodiment, for example, the language “positioned from about the lateral-medial retina division line of the first eye of the wearer” would mean within ±2% of the lateral-medial retina division line, e.g., in total distance. The language “amalgamated lens” is a lens component that combines together multiple regions or areas in smooth transition as a single lens. For example, the occlusion eye lens component may, in certain embodiments, may comprise an occlusion area that serves the purpose of occlusion and is positioned from about the lateral-medial retina division line of the first eye of the wearer to about the inner corner of the eye of the wearer, but is part of a larger lens with an area that is not occluded (but rather is clear or tinted, e.g., to allow the medial retina to be uncovered. The language “and / or” is used herein to mean both “and” in the conjunctive form and “or” in the disjunctive form. Attorney Docket No. MLT-005PCT The language “brain disorder” is art recognized and is used herein to describe a neurologic or a psychiatric disorder, i.e., characterized by symptomology of a neurologic or psychiatric disorder. As used herein, the term “co-morbid” or “co-existent” refers to any psychiatric disorders that exist in addition to a primary disease or disorder, such as depression. As used herein, the terms “depression,” “depressive disorder,” “dysthymic disorder,” “major depressive disorder” and “unipolar depression” refer to a DSM-IV definition of depression. In certain embodiments, depression may be defined as a combination of sadness, loss of energy, feelings of hopelessness, difficulty concentrating, insomnia, and irritability. The National Comorbidity Survey reported that 46% of men and 58% of women have suffered in their lifetime at least a two-week period in which they experienced a persistent depressed mood. Major depression has a lifetime prevalence of about 16%, and it is estimated that by 2020, it will be the second greatest contributor to the impairment of global health. A recent Australian survey reported that anxiety disorders were the most common mental disorder with a lifetime prevalence of 26%. Depression can run in families, and usually starts between the ages of 15 and 30. It is much more common in women. Women can also get postpartum depression after the birth of a baby. Some people get seasonal affective disorder in the winter. Depression is one part of bipolar disorder. Depression by any definition does not encompass most psychological disorders. For example, people who are diagnosed with schizophrenia have delusions and / or hallucinations and have a deterioration of their personality rendering them almost always incapable of complex work or sustained relationships. A person with an anxiety disorder will suffer excessive apprehension and worry with heightened arousal but will not feel sad or hopeless unless he / she suffers, in addition, a coexisting depressive disorder. A person who abuses substances will usually not also suffer anxiety or depression, although he may have a dual diagnosis in which both a substance abuse disorder and another disorder such as an anxiety disorder or a depressive disorder are also present.47% of patients diagnosed with schizophrenia also have a substance abuse disorder. Further, depression is associated with the integration of multiple intracellular signals that regulate neuronal response (i.e., changes in G protein, cyclic adenosine Attorney Docket No. MLT-005PCT monophosphate, or protein kinase and the induction of gene transcription). These intracellular signals ultimately affect the expression of specific genes. It is these abnormalities of intracellular signal transduction and / or gene expression that underlie much of the physiology of depression. Other neurotransmitters (e.g., acetylcholine, gamma amino butyric acid, melatonin, glycine, histamine), hormones (e.g., thyroid and adrenal hormones), and neuropeptides (e.g., corticotropin-releasing hormone, endorphins, enkephalins, vasopressin, cholecystokinin, substance P) also play significant roles in the physiology of depression. In depression, functional imaging studies most consistently demonstrate a decreased prefrontal cortex (PFC), especially left PFC, blood flow. These findings correlate with severity of illness and cognitive impairment. Functional imaging in depressed patients also show basal ganglia abnormalities, involving decreased blood flow and metabolism as well as increased activity of amygdala. In major depression, other neuroimaging studies show abnormalities in the hippocampus, cingulate, and related parts of the striatum and thalamus. Together, data offer a neural model for depression in which dysfunction of limbic, striatal, and PFC structures impair the modulation of the amygdala / hippocampus complex and lead to abnormal processing of emotional stimuli. Depression also tends to be associated with lesions in the left frontotemporal or right parieto-occipital regions. The language “differential stimulation” is used herein to describe the use of tinted glasses that allow the simultaneous stimulation of the lateral retina of the positive hemisphere, albeit reduced, at the same time as allowing a reduced stimulation of the medial retina associated with the hemisphere of the brain with the more negative valence. Given the lateral and medial composition of the retina being 60:40, respectively, the overall effect affords stimulation, or otherwise referred to herein as a differential stimulation. The language “full rim” is art recognized, and used herein to describe frame- fronts that cover the entire edge of a lens, e.g., using an angled recess in the frame- front called a lens groove. The language “half rim” is art recognized, and used herein to describe frame- fronts are the same as full rim but their lower half is missing. This means the bottom Attorney Docket No. MLT-005PCT edges of the lenses are exposed, e.g., in certain embodiments secured in place using a thin nylon cord called “Supra.” The language “hemispheric emotional valence (HEV)” is art-recognized, for example, as described in F. Schiffer, M. Teicher, C. Anderson, A. Tomoda, A. Polcari, C. Navalta, and S. Andersen, Determination of hemispheric emotional valence in individual subjects: a new approach with reasearch and therapeutic implications. Behav Brain Funct 3 (2007) 13 and F. Schiffer, Of Two Minds: The Revolutionary Science of Dual-Brain Psychology, The Free Press, New York, 1998. The language “integrate” is used herein to describe the action of combining (one thing) with another so that they become a whole. In certain embodiments, the intergration of, for example, the frame of the clip-on accessories for a pair of eyeglasses of the present invention may occur through pressure of the frame against the lens components along the interfaces or using screws or adhesive. The term “invertible” is used herein to describe the characteristic of the devices of the present invention that may be capable of being flipped to position the same eyeglasses or clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses with the occlusion eye lens component on the left or the right eye. The language “lateral-medial retina division line” is used herein to describe the line that distinguishes the lateral retina with / from the medial retina, i.e., the vertical line through the macula represents the division between the temporal retina (lateral side) and the nasal retina (medial side). Axons from ganglion cells in the nasal retina cross the midline in the optic chiasm so that their information goes to the visual centers of the opposite side of the brain. The language “neurologic disorder” is art-recognized and is used herein to describe diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system, e.g., the brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, peripheral nerves, nerve roots, autonomic nervous system, neuromuscular junction, and muscles. These disorders include epilepsy, Alzheimer disease and other dementias, cerebrovascular diseases including stroke, migraine and other headache disorders, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, neurological infections, brain tumors, traumatic disorders of the nervous system due to head trauma, and neurological disorders as a result of malnutrition. Attorney Docket No. MLT-005PCT As used herein, the term “occlusion” describes the obstruction or blocking of vision deriving from the full or part of a retina. As used herein, the term “psychiatric disorders” refers to any psychiatric disorders including, but not limited to, depression, attention deficit disorder, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, alcoholism, eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia, phobias, Asperser's syndrome, dissociative disorders, insomnia, and borderline personality disorder. The ICD-10 diagnostic system, like the earlier DSM-IV, applies to these psychiatric disorders. Psychiatric disorders also include substance abuse disorders (i.e., alcohol abuse or opiate dependence or abuse) caused either by depression or not caused by depression, persistent anxiety, anxiety attacks, feelings of panic, fears of social contacts, nightmares, flashbacks, obsessive thoughts, compulsive behavior, attention disorder, sexual problem, and irrational thinking. The term “remission” is art-recognized and is used herein to describe the state of absence of disease activity in patients with a chronic illness. Remission is measured using a rating scale, e.g., where a score of greater than fifteen on the rating scale correlates to having an anxiety disorder and a score of ten or less on the rating scale correlates to being in remission and no longer manifesting an abnormal level of anxiety. As used herein, the term “reversible” or “reversibly” describes any mechanism or action that may be utilized to repeatably place a given item or items in one of two possible states, indefinitely. For example, clip retainer that reversibly affixes the frame to a pair of eyeglasses of a wearer may be affixed or removed from the affixed position, repeatably; this affixing process is considered reversible. The language “rimless” is art recognized, and used herein to describe frame- fronts that are joined together via a metal bridge. In certain embodiments, the bridge joins and secures the lenses together via screws to make the frame-front. In particular embodiments, at the edges of the lenses, the temples are also attached via screws through the outer-sides of each lens. As used herein, the terms “subject”, and “patient” are used interchangeably. The terms “subject” and “patient” refer to a human person that is capable of suffering from a brain disorder. As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, the terms "treat," "treating" and Attorney Docket No. MLT-005PCT "treatment" refer to the eradication / remission or amelioration of a disease, disorder, or condition, or of one or more symptoms associated with the disease, disorder or condition as evidenced through symptomology or underlying physiological mechanistics related to the disorder. In certain embodiments, the term “treating” describes enhancing a person's positive outlook or suppressing a person's negative outlook, e.g., this may refer to a person's psychological well-being, including but not limited to their emotional, cognitive, and motivational states, where those persons who are successfully treated can find more appreciation for life, for themselves (improved self-esteem), their work, and their personal relationships. In certain embodiments, the terms describe minimizing the advancement or worsening of the disease, disorder, or condition resulting from the administration of the methods or devices of the present invention to a patient with such a disease, disorder, or condition. In some embodiments, the terms refer to the administration of a method or device provided herein, after the onset of symptoms of the particular disease, disorder, or condition. The terms “treating”, “treatment”, or the like, as used herein covers the treatment of a disease, disorder, or condition in a subject, and includes at least one of: (i) inhibiting the disease, disorder, or condition, i.e., partially or completely halting its progression; (ii) relieving the disease, disorder, or condition, i.e. causing regression of symptoms of the disease, disorder, or condition, or ameliorating a symptom of the disease, disorder, or condition; and (iii) reversal or regression of the disease, disorder, or condition, for example, eliminating or curing of the disease, disorder, or condition. As used herein, the term “user” is used herein to an individual that wears the glasses or glasses accessories (e.g., clip-on accessory) of the present invention and would benefit from treatment, including both a subject or patient or those that are not suffering from a brain disorder. The language, “well-being” is used to describe a state of wellness of body, mind and soul, where all are in a state of health, the individual is happy and prospering. Well- being describes the overall welfare of an individual including a good or satisfactory condition of existence. Well-being is a state characterized by health, happiness, and prosperity. In certain embodiments, the well-being affects an individual’s performance in a sport or sport-related activity. In particular embodiments, the change in the well- Attorney Docket No. MLT-005PCT being of the subject provides an enhancement in a sport. In particular, and without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that that the devices of the present invention reduce anxiety and promote the positive hemisphere, which in turn, promotes increased performance in sports (e.g., when used during training for the sport). In particular embodiments, the sport may be selected from the group consisting of baseball, golf, basketball, tennis, pickle ball, equestrian, cycling, skating, bowling, boxing, fencing, gymnastics, cricket, volleyball, hockey, table tennis, football, badminton, archery, soccer, running, weightlifting, and lacrosse. In specific embodiments, the sport is selected from golf or baseball (e.g., hitting). In psychiatry, ICD-10, and the “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition (DSM-IV)” are manuals published by the World Health Organization and American Psychiatric Association (APA), respectively, that includes all currently recognized mental health disorders. However, ICD-10 is now the official standard, and in ICD-10 there are two diagnoses for depression, Major Depression and Dysthymic Disorder, as described below. Each of the diagnostic entities in the ICD-10 are supported not only by clinical descriptions, but also by biological studies that use electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), evoked potentials, electrodermal activity, biochemical markers (catecholamines and catecholamine metabolites; indoleamines and indoleamine metabolites, acetylcholine, histamine, aminoacids, melatonin, prostaglaindins, opoid peptides, neupropeptides, enzymes, receptor densities), psychoimmunological markers, genetic markers, and animal models. The language “Major Depressive Disorder” is characterized by one or more Major Depressive Episodes (i.e., at least 2 weeks of depressed mood or loss of interest accompanied by at least four additional symptoms of depression). Dysthymic Disorder is characterized by at least 2 years of depressed mood for more days than not, accompanied by additional depressive symptoms that do not meet criteria for a Major Depressive Episode. Criteria for Major Depressive Episode include: Attorney Docket No. MLT-005PCT A. Five (or more) of the following symptoms have been present during the same 2-week period and represent a change from previous functioning; at least one of the symptoms is either (1) depressed mood or (2) loss of interest or pleasure. Note: Do not include symptoms that are clearly due to a general medical condition, or mood-incongruent delusions or hallucinations. o (1) depressed mood most of the day, nearly every day, as indicated by either subjective report (e.g., feels sad or empty) or observation made by others (e.g., appears tearful). Note: In children and adolescents, can be irritable mood. o (2) markedly diminished interest or pleasure in all, or almost all, activities most of the day, nearly every day (as indicated by either subjective account or observation made by others) o (3) significant weight loss when not dieting or weight gain (e.g., a change of more than 5% of body weight in a month) or decrease or increase in appetite nearly every day. Note: In children, consider failure to make expected weight gains. o (4) insomnia or hypersomnia nearly every day o (5) psychomotor agitation or retardation nearly every day (observable by others, not merely subjective feelings of restlessness or being slowed down) o (6) fatigue or loss of energy nearly every day o (7) feelings of worthlessness or excessive or inappropriate guilt (which may be delusional) nearly every day (not merely self-reproach or guilt about being sick) o (8) diminished ability to think or concentrate, or indecisiveness, nearly every day (either by subjective account or as observed by others) o (9) recurrent thoughts of death (not just fear of dying), recurrent suicidal ideation without a specific plan, or a suicide attempt or a specific plan for committing suicide B. The symptoms do not meet criteria for a Mixed Episode. Attorney Docket No. MLT-005PCT C. The symptoms cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. D. The symptoms are not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse, a medication) or a general medical condition (e.g., hypothyroidism). E. The symptoms are not better accounted for by Bereavement, i.e., after the loss of a loved one, the symptoms persist for longer than 2 months or are characterized by marked functional impairment, morbid preoccupation with worthlessness, suicidal ideation, psychotic symptoms, or psychomotor retardation. Diagnostic criteria or Dysthymic Disorder include: A. Depressed mood for most of the day, for more days than not, as indicated either by subjective account or observation by others, for at least 2 years. Note: In children and adolescents, mood can be irritable, and duration must be at least 1 year. B. Presence, while depressed, of two (or more) of the following: o (1) poor appetite or overeating o (2) insomnia or hypersomnia o (3) low energy or fatigue o (4) low self-esteem o (5) poor concentration or difficulty making decisions o (6) feelings of hopelessness The DSM-IV (1), the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10-CM)(2), and as described in The Comprehensive Textbook of Psychiatry (3), thus, define depressive disorders, which in the ICD-10-CM are given specific diagnostic codes: major depression is F33 and dysthymia is F34.1. In distinction from the depressive disorders, the DSM-IV, ICD-10-CM, the Comprehensive Textbook of Psychiatry, and the accepted practice in the profession (4) consider other disorders as separated and distinct psychiatric diagnoses. The ICD-10 list of major categories is as follows: Disorders Usually First Diagnosed in Infancy, Childhood, or Adolescence Delirium, Dementia, and Amnestic and Other Cognitive Disorders Attorney Docket No. MLT-005PCT Mental Disorders Due to a General Medical Condition Substance-Related Disorders Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders Mood Disorders Anxiety Disorders Somatoform Disorders Factitious Disorders Dissociative Disorders Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders Eating Disorders Sleep Disorders Impulse-Control Disorders Not Elsewhere Classified Adjustment Disorders Personality Disorders Many patients with dysthymic disorder have brain wave (EEG) abnormalities that mimic those found in major depression such as reduced REM latency, increased REM density, reduced slow-wave sleep, impaired sleep continuity. Patients with dysthymia who have these EEG abnormalities more frequently have a positive family history for major depression. They also respond better to antidepressant medications. Anxiety disorders have scientific findings that differentiate them from depression and other psychiatric or psychological disorders. In patients with anxiety disorders functional neuroimaging shows abnormalities during symptom provocation tests, in the limbic, paralimbic and sensory association regions. Further, for anxiety there is a general theory of a neural behavioral-inhibition system. This system evaluates stimuli to attempt to determine their level of dangerousness and simultaneously in response produce behavioral inhibition and increase arousal and attention. Antianxiety drugs inhibit brain areas involved in these responses. From animal studies using pharmacological agents and / or brain lesions, anxiety is associated with several interconnected anatomical areas. Sensory stimuli that are interpreted as dangerous activate the hippocampus, especially the entorhinal cortex, which secondarily induces habituation by actions on the lateral and medial septal areas, which then stimulate the Attorney Docket No. MLT-005PCT cingulate which induces behavioral inhibition. Several specific neurotransmitter systems influence this anxiety mechanism, including noradrenergic activity of the locus coeruleus, serotonergic systems originating in the raphe, and by widespread GABAA- receptor activity (which are the main locus of activity of the benzodiazepines). Stimuli that are interpreted as acute threats activate the “fight or flight” response, which is mediated especially by the locus coeruleus and the amygdala. The amygdala encodes fearful memories and aversive conditioning and participates in the acute fear and negative anticipation that we call anxiety. Further, intense anxiety stimulates the sympathetic nervous system via the locus coeruleus, and this induces tachycardia, tremor, and diaphoresis. The frontal cortex becomes aware of the anxiety and induces behavioral responses which are attempts to improve survival, but which often cause more harm and increase danger. The cingulate, in anxiety disorders, attempts to improve the communication between the cortex and the subcortical areas. II.

In certain embodiments of the present invention, the methods of the present invention may be used benefit patients with a history of opiate dependence by improving their psychological well-being, and / or reducing opioid cravings and use. ii. Measuring Hemispheric Emotional Valence The methods of the present invention comprise the step of measuring a left hemispheric emotional valence for a left hemisphere of a brain of the patient and a right hemispheric emotional valence for a right hemisphere of the brain of the patient to identify a patient with a lateralized difference in hemispheric emotional valence. In this respect, the step of measuring hemispheric emotional valence (HEV), in certain embodiments may include the use of lateral visual field stimulation (LVFS). In an embodiment, the methods of the present disclosure may include the use of the presently described pair of eyeglasses or clip-on accessory for measuring hemispheric emotional valence (HEV) using LVFS. The wearer is asked to look through the glasses or clip-on accessory wherein the occlusion lens component is positioned over one eye, or alternatively the other eye. Any scale may be used to score this process that describes how a person feels on one side versus the other. In a particular embodiment, the determination of the lateralized difference in hemispheric emotional Attorney Docket No. MLT-005PCT valence with the more positive valence and with the more negative valence comprises the steps of: providing a first clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses of the present invention or a first pair of eyeglasses of the present invention to the subject, wherein the occlusion lens component is designed and positioned for full occlusion of the lateral retina of the left hemisphere and differential stimulation of the retina of the opposing retina; assessing the change in the psychological state of the subject of the occlusion and differential stimulation of the first clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses or a first pair of eyeglasses; providing second clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses of the present invention or a second pair of eyeglasses of the present invention to the subject, wherein the occlusion lens component is designed and positioned for full occlusion of the lateral retina of the right hemisphere and differential stimulation of the retina of the opposing retina; assessing the change in the psychological state of the subject of the occlusion and differential stimulation of the second clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses or a second pair of eyeglasses; and comparing the first and second clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses or pair of eyeglasses, to determine which hemisphere of the brain of a subject with a lateralized difference in hemispheric emotional valence has a more positive valence and which has a more negative valence, wherein the glasses that produce the more favorable change in psychological state determine the more negative valence associated with the lateral retina over which the occlusion lens component is designed and positioned for full occlusion. In certain embodiments, where the pair of eyeglasses is invertible, the first pair of eyeglasses is the same as pair of eyeglasses as the second pair of eyeglasses. In certain embodiments, where the clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses is invertible, the first clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses is the same as pair of eyeglasses as the second clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses. Attorney Docket No. MLT-005PCT In another embodiment, the methods of the present disclosure may alternatively include the use of glasses for the LVFS, such as safety glasses or goggles, taped or covered so that they permit vision to only one lateral visual field at a time. The wearer is asked to look to one side and to fixate the center of his vision on the edge of the tape so that he or she is looking out of the lateral half of one eye. Vision from the other eye is occluded by the tape on the other side. Any scale may be used to score this process that describes how a person feels on one side versus the other. In certain embodiments, while utilizing the LVFS, the patient is asked to look at a photograph of a man or woman with a mildly angry facial expression. After 45 seconds, he or she is asked to verbally rate his or her present feelings for each of 10 affects from Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS), from none to extreme on a 5-point scale. iii. Determining Hemispheric Positive Valence And Negative Valence The methods of the present invention comprise the step of determining which hemisphere of the brain of the patient with a lateralized difference in hemispheric emotional valence has a more positive valence, and which hemisphere of the brain has a more negative valence. In one embodiment, the PANAS score may be used to determine the hemisphere of the brain with a positive valence and the hemisphere of the brain with a negative valence. In particular, following the PANAS measurements, the patient is asked to rest for 1 minute looking straight ahead so that vision from both eyes is occluded. The patient is then asked to repeat the procedure by looking out of the second visual field. The PANAS has 5 positive affects including alert, inspired, determined, attentive, active and 5 negative affects including upset, hostile, ashamed, nervous, and afraid. For each visual field, the sum of the scores on the 5 negative affects is subtracted from the scores from the 5 positive effects and the difference is the PANAS score. The score measured when the person looks out of the right lateral visual field (RVF) is subtracted from the score measured when the person looks out of the left lateral visual field (LFV). The LVF is indicative of the state of the right hemisphere since the connection between Attorney Docket No. MLT-005PCT the medial retinas and the cerebral hemispheres are crossed. Since a more positive PANAS score indicates more positive affect, we assign a value for the person's HEV according to the formula: LVF PANAS score—RVF PANAS. A positive score suggests that the right hemisphere has a more positive HEV. Research studies show that LVFS offers a good indication that the left and right cerebral hemispheres are generally associated with different emotional valences such that one hemisphere (either left or right) is associated with a more positive outlook on the world (positive hemispheric valence) and the other a more negative outlook on the world (negative hemispheric valence). A person's personality and some of the person's psychological characteristics may be affected by which hemisphere, right or left hemisphere, dominates. The eyes are connected to the brain so that vision to the left side of a person goes first to the opposite (right) hemisphere and vision to the right side of a person goes first to the left hemisphere. One hemisphere can be stimulated over the other by restricting vision to a portion of the retina of an eye that is connected to a particular hemisphere of the brain. For instance, LVFS has been shown by fMRI to induce a very large increase in brain activity in the hemisphere opposite the visual field, when the patient looked out of the left visual field (LVF) and the right visual field (RVF). As an example, a person looking out of one visual field might see another person as very critical of him and he might feel very critical of himself. Looking out the opposite visual field he is apt to see another person as quite approving of him and he is apt to see himself positively. iv. Applying the Devices of the Invention The methods of the present invention comprise the step of applying to the patient a clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses of the present invention or a pair of eyeglasses of the present invention, wherein the occlusion lens component is designed and positioned for full occlusion of the lateral retina associated with the hemisphere of the brain with the more negative valence combined with differential stimulation of the opposing retina. Attorney Docket No. MLT-005PCT In particular, once the hemisphere of the brain that has a more negative valence is determined, the clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses of the present invention or the pair of eyeglasses of the present invention are selected such the occlusion lens component is designed and positioned for full occlusion of the lateral retina associated with the hemisphere of the brain with the more negative valence combined with differential stimulation of the opposing retina. The patient then applies the clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses of the present invention or the pair of eyeglasses of the present invention by wearing them for sufficient time, such that the brain disorder with lateralized difference in hemispheric emotional valence is treated in said patient. In certain embodiments, such time ranges from seconds to minutes, to hours, and may be tailored for an individual based on subjective results of treatment. v. Combination Therapies In certain embodiments, the methods of the present invention may be used in combination with any known or existing treatment. For example, the methods and devices of the present invention may be used in combination with other treatments for brain disorders like depression, including antidepressants and talk therapy. Other combination therapies may include, for example, directing light through the scalp of the patient to a target area of the brain, applying an electromagnetic field, electro- convulsive therapy, benzodiazepams (such as diazepam or klonazepam) which are common treatments for anxiety disorders, antipsychotic medications for schizophrenia, bisulfiram for the treatment of alcohol dependence, or buprenorphine for opiate dependence. In certain embodiments, the methods of the present invention may be combined with other types of treatments for an improved therapeutic effect. For example, treatment can include directing light through the scalp of the patient to a target area of the brain concurrently with applying an electromagnetic field to the brain. The light may be applied with a desired power density and with a desired electromagnetic field strength at the target area. Attorney Docket No. MLT-005PCT B.

Determining Hemispheric Positive Valence And Negative Valence The methods of the present invention comprise the step of determining which hemisphere of the brain of a subject with a lateralized difference in hemispheric emotional valence has a more positive valence and which has a more negative valence; In certain embodiments of the present invention, the determination of the lateralized difference in hemispheric emotional valence with the more positive valence and with the more negative valence comprises the steps of: providing a first clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses of the present invention or a first pair of eyeglasses of the present invention to the subject, wherein the occlusion lens component is designed and positioned for full occlusion of the lateral retina of the left hemisphere and differential stimulation of the retina of the opposing retina; assessing the change in the psychological state of the subject of the occlusion and differential stimulation of the first clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses or a first pair of eyeglasses; providing second clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses of the present invention or a second pair of eyeglasses of the present invention to the subject, wherein the occlusion lens component is designed and positioned for full occlusion of the lateral retina of the right hemisphere and differential stimulation of the retina of the opposing retina; assessing the change in the psychological state of the subject of the occlusion and differential stimulation of the second clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses or a second pair of eyeglasses; and comparing the first and second clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses or pair of eyeglasses, to determine which hemisphere of the brain of a subject with a lateralized difference in hemispheric emotional valence has a more positive valence and which has a more negative valence, wherein the glasses that produce the more favorable change in psychological state determine the more negative valence associated with the lateral retina over which the occlusion Attorney Docket No. MLT-005PCT lens component is designed and positioned for full occlusion. In certain embodiments, where the pair of eyeglasses is invertible, the first pair of eyeglasses is the same as pair of eyeglasses as the second pair of eyeglasses. In certain embodiments, where the clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses is invertible, the first clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses is the same as pair of eyeglasses as the second clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses. In another embodiment, the methods of the present disclosure may alternatively include the use of glasses for the LVFS, such as safety glasses or goggles, taped or covered so that they permit vision to only one lateral visual field at a time. The wearer is asked to look to one side and to fixate the center of his vision on the edge of the tape so that he or she is looking out of the lateral half of one eye. Vision from the other eye is occluded by the tape on the other side. Any scale may be used to score this process that describes how a person feels on one side versus the other. In certain embodiments, the subject is asked to look at a photograph of a man or woman with a mildly angry facial expression. After 45 seconds, he or she is asked to verbally rate his or her present feelings for each of 10 affects from Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS), from none to extreme on a 5-point scale. In one embodiment, the PANAS score may be used to determine the hemisphere of the brain with a positive valence and the hemisphere of the brain with a negative valence. In particular, following the PANAS measurements, the patient is asked to rest for 1 minute looking straight ahead so that vision from both eyes is occluded. The subject is then asked to repeat the procedure by looking out of the second visual field. The PANAS has 5 positive affects including alert, inspired, determined, attentive, active and 5 negative affects including upset, hostile, ashamed, nervous, and afraid. For each visual field, the sum of the scores on the 5 negative affects is subtracted from the scores from the 5 positive effects and the difference is the PANAS score. The score measured when the person looks out of the right lateral visual field (RVF) is subtracted from the score measured when the person looks out of the left lateral visual field (LFV). The LVF is indicative of the state of the right hemisphere since the connection between the medial retinas and the cerebral hemispheres are crossed. Since a more positive PANAS score indicates more positive affect, we assign a value for the person's HEV Attorney Docket No. MLT-005PCT according to the formula: LVF PANAS score—RVF PANAS. A positive score suggests that the right hemisphere has a more positive HEV. Research studies show that LVFS offers a good indication that the left and right cerebral hemispheres are generally associated with different emotional valences such that one hemisphere (either left or right) is associated with a more positive outlook on the world (positive hemispheric valence) and the other a more negative outlook on the world (negative hemispheric valence). ii. Applying the Devices of the Invention The methods of the present invention comprise the step of applying to the subject a clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses of the present invention or a pair of eyeglasses of the present invention, wherein the occlusion lens component is designed and positioned for full occlusion of the lateral retina associated with the hemisphere of the brain with the more negative valence combined with differential stimulation of the opposing retina. In particular, once the hemisphere of the brain that has a more negative valence is determined, the clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses of the present invention or the pair of eyeglasses of the present invention are selected such the occlusion lens component is designed and positioned for full occlusion of the lateral retina associated with the hemisphere of the brain with the more negative valence combined with differential stimulation of the opposing retina. The patient then applies the clip-on accessory for a pair of eyeglasses of the present invention or the pair of eyeglasses of the present invention by wearing them for sufficient time, such that the full occlusion of lateral retina associated with the hemisphere of the brain with the more negative valence combined with differential stimulation of the opposing retina provides favorable change in the psychological state of the subject. In certain embodiments, such time ranges from seconds to minutes, to hours, and may be tailored for an individual based on subjective results of treatment. Attorney Docket No. MLT-005PCT VI.
