TREATMENT RESISTANT DEPRESSION

Depression is a serious yet often silent mental health disorder. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 264 million people worldwide struggle with depression on an ongoing basis. Despite its prevalence, mental health stigma continues to prevent many individuals from seeking the support and treatment they need.

The reality is that depression is more than just feeling down or having a bad day. It’s a persistent shadow that drains your energy, distorts your perception, and casts despair over daily life. At the North Carolina Institute of Advanced NeuroHealth, we offer evidence-based treatments like TMS therapy and Ketamine treatment to help break free from the cycle of treatment-resistant depression and restore hope.

It’s important to remember that seeking help is not a sign of weakness but a brave step toward healing.

The problem is that medication and talk therapy don't work for a third of individuals suffering from depression. In these cases, innovative approaches like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy and Intravenous (IV) Ketamine have emerged as promising alternatives.

What Is Depression?

Depression is a complex and multifaceted mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a profound lack of interest or pleasure in activities that were once enjoyable. It goes beyond the usual ups and downs of life, often impacting one's thoughts, emotions, and physical well-being. 


Depression can impact your quality of life by manifesting as chronic fatigue, changes in sleep and appetite, difficulty concentrating, and a general sense of despair.


It’s important to remember that depression is not a passing mood but a serious and chronic condition that can have a major impact on a person's daily life, relationships, and overall sense of well-being. Depression does not discriminate and impacts people of all cultures, demographics, and ages. As with any mental health disorder, understanding it is the first step toward seeking the support and treatment necessary to find relief.

Is ketamine therapy Right for you?

Do you suffer from depression, and common treatment options remain unsuccessful?


Do you want to feel the effects of treatment faster than traditional therapies? Then it's time you consider ketamine therapy.

In 1970, the FDA gave ketamine its seal of approval as an anesthetic. It was used to alleviate pain in injured soldiers on the battlefields of Vietnam.


Now, ketamine has matured to support individual mental health.

A Brief Look at Ketamine Throughout History

Ketamine was discovered in 1962 by Calvin L. Stevens, a professor of chemistry. It quickly proved to act quicker than the leading anesthetic at the time, PCP. The U.S. eventually approved ketamine in the 1970s for anesthetic use during the Vietnam War. As time passed, people began to use it illicitly, and it became a federally controlled substance in 1999.

 

But despite this classification, researchers remained steadfast, knowing ketamine could unlock the enormous potential for treating several health conditions. Now, after years of extensive research, significant findings show the promise of ketamine to manage various mental health conditions when administered in low doses.

Ketamine is the future of mental health treatment. Unlock it's potential and find the relief you deserve.

Sustained & Long-Term Relief

Combination Therapy with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS or rTMS) and Ketamine is a safe and highly effective alternative to medications and other forms of therapy and lifestyle changes.

Our expert staff will put you at ease. While Ketamine has proven to be effective in the treatment of depression, pain, and other mood disorders, this is irrelevant until the FDA classifies the drug as an antidepressant. The good news is, since Ketamine is a "medical expense", we are able to accept payment from HSA and FSA accounts.
