Mood Disorders

Any Mood Disorders, as well as Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is a term used in clinical psychiatry to describe a condition that affects people with major depressive disorder (MDD) who do not respond adequately to a course of appropriate antidepressant medication within a certain time.

At Clear Mind Treatment we combine Psychological counseling with TMS and Spravato (nasal form of Ketamine).

Psychological counseling (psychotherapy) by a psychiatrist, psychologist or other mental health professional can be very effective. For many people, psychotherapy combined with medication or other form of therapeutic option works best. It can help identify underlying concerns that may be adding to your depression. Our program includes group and individual therapy along with other options.

TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is becoming recognised as a valuable therapeutic option in treatment-resistant depression. TMS therapy is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic pulses—similar to those of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine—to awaken parts of the brain that are underactive in people who suffer from depression. TMS is safe and FDA-approved for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder. Additionally, TMS can be used to help treat anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. TMS therapy is a pharmaceutical-free treatment. We recommend receiving TMS daily for about a 4-6 weeks.

In early 2019, the FDA approved Spravato™, an esketamine nasal spray designed to relieve treatment-resistant depression. This is now an effective treatment for Depression, especially combined with therapy. This program is specifically tailored to each patien. Most patients begin with two Spravato treatments a week for the first month, followed by once a week treatments in the second month. After the second month of treatment, patients typically have a Spravato treatment once a week or once every two weeks, depending on their needs.
