If you or anyone you know has ever struggled with depression, you’ve probably tried a variety of treatment options. Medication, meditation, diet and exercise, talk therapy—there are so many ways to address the problem.
But what about non-tradition treatments? What is the most effective treatment for major depressive disorder?
At Bella Jace Center, we provide a wide variety of traditional and nontraditional approaches to our patients in Brentwood, TN. We believe in a holistic approach that addressed every individual’s unique needs.
Here are 3 of the most effective, non-traditional treatments for depressive disorder.
1. Spravato Treatments
This combination of nasal spray and oral antidepressants is one of the most effective treatments for people with treatment-resistant depressive disorder.
Studies have found that these treatments offered significant short-term symptom improvement with only minimal and fleeting side effects.
Be sure to speak with a licensed practitioner to discover if Spravato treatments might be right for you. At Bella Jace Center, we offer evaluations to ensure you’re getting the correct treatment for your needs.
2. Ketamine Infusions
If you suffer from major depression, you may want to look into this innovative treatment. It works by altering the recipient’s brain receptors to minimize depressive feelings.
In studies, patients with depression found significant symptom relief after just a few weeks, with most side effects lasting only one hour after treatment. Many people who have faced resistance to traditional treatments may see great results.
There’s a reason ketamine infusions are one of our most popular treatment options. Reach out to us to schedule an evaluation with one of our practitioners to see if you may be a good candidate for this safe and effective treatment.
3. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
In recent years, research has grown in support of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) as a treatment for depressive disorder, especially for patients who are resistant to other treatments.
TMS works by using electromagnetic induction to stimulate the areas of the brain responsible for moods. The effect is lessened feelings of depression without the use of drugs.
The benefits of TMS are vast, as it is a drug-free therapy that is proven to be safe and effective, even for pregnant women. It is non-invasive and is quickly becoming routinely practised in the treatment of depression.
Because this treatment is non-invasive, it causes minimal side effects. This makes it one of the most attractive options for anyone who has experienced negative treatment side effects in the past.
Our professional and experienced psychiatric nurse practitioners are certified to provide TMS to patients in our Brentwood office. We would be glad to schedule a time to talk through any questions you have and to determine if you are a good candidate for TMS.
