Conditions We Treat
Depression
Depression is a chronic condition affecting nearly millions of patients in the USA and is increasing. Clinical depression is more than just sadness or grief. It is a serious medical condition and interferes with nearly every aspect of your daily life affecting sleep, important relationships and job performance. If left untreated or undertreated, it can lead to serious outcomes.
What are some treatment options for depression?
Medication and talk therapy are powerful tools in fighting depression. Unfortunately, as much as 30% of all patients diagnosed with depression are considered treatment resistant – meaning they have tried 3 or more medications without improvement.
When depression is resistant, it’s time to explore more options. We offer:
- Ketamine is a medication often used to treat depression, especially in cases where other treatments have failed to yield sufficient improvement. Ketamine is an FDA approved anesthetic medication, which produces a dissociative experience that can help manage treatment-resistant depression. It’s been used off label for nearly 20 years with exciting results.
- Spravato® is a ketamine-based medication administered by a nasal spray during in-office visits by trained practitioners. You receive professional monitoring to ensure a safe and effective experience.
- Non invasive vagal nerve stimulation.
- Micronutrient infusions.
- Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation.
If you feel like life is not worth living or contemplate ending your life, reach out for emergency medical attention immediately call 911 or go to your closest emergency room.
