You have tried therapy, medication, and even several combinations, yet depression’s heaviness still has not lifted as you hoped it would. You may feel discouraged, even a little hopeless, when you have done everything professionals have asked yet still do not feel like yourself. You may wonder if relief is even possible, especially after so much effort has brought so little change. We want you to know that relief is possible. Having a more intense form of depression does not mean you have run out of options. Our team offers treatment-resistant depression treatment in Houston for people whose symptoms have not responded to standard approaches, so you can access care that goes beyond what you may have already tried in the past. You are not out of options, and we are here to help you find what
depression treatment works for you.
Signs You May Have Treatment-Resistant Depression
Depression is considered treatment-resistant when you have tried two or more antidepressant medications at an appropriate dose and duration without enough improvement in your symptoms. You might notice that your low mood, fatigue, or loss of interest keeps returning, even after
adjusting your medication, or that relief never seems to last as long as you need it to. This can be exhausting, especially when you feel like you have already put in so much effort, but the results do not match what you hoped for. If you have depression that has not responded to treatment, our psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners in Houston have experience with treatment-resistant depression and could help. We begin your therapy with a thorough evaluation of your history and past treatments. That way, we can understand what has and has not worked before recommending next steps, rather than guessing at what might help.
How Can TMS and Spravato® Help With Treatment-Resistant Depression?
We offer two options:
transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy and
Spravato®. TMS is a noninvasive treatment that uses magnetic fields to gently stimulate areas of the brain connected to mood, and it does not require anesthesia or any downtime afterward. Spravato® is a
prescription nasal spray used alongside an oral antidepressant, and it
works on different pathways in the brain than traditional medications. As part of your treatment-resistant depression therapy at our office in Houston, one of our providers will talk with you about whether TMS, Spravato®, or a combination of approaches makes the most sense for your specific symptoms and history. We offer both telemedicine and in-person appointments with little to no wait times, so getting started is easier than you might expect, even on a busy schedule.
