Psychopharmacology
Medication management is often a critical component of managing depression. Unfortunately, routine use of medications often fails to improve results. When this occurs, aggressive management may be needed to achieve needed results. Our experts in psychopharmacology will help find the right medications for you.
Spravato
Intra-nasal S-Ketamine (Spravato) has recently been approved for the treatment and management of treatment resistant depression. While most antidepressants can take months to work, Ketamine is unique in that the antidepressant effects can occur within the first few treatments. The medication is administered in the safety of our office and when appropriate, we will also integrate mindfulness and other therapeutic options to enhance the effectiveness.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, office-based treatment for severe, treatment resistant depression. By using strong magnetic coils placed against the scalp, we are able to stimulate key areas of the brain that are involved in depression, OCD, and many other brain conditions. Treatments take about 20 minutes each and are covered by most insurances. If you have struggled to medications that treat your depression, TMS may be right for you.
