The Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex and the Limbic System! The main functions of the DPC are working memory, decision making and motor planning. The main tasks of the Limbic System are emotions, appetite and hormones. Studies show that depression is associated with decreased activity in the brain. TMS delivers pulses of energy into these targeted areas of the brain to increase exercise and reduce symptoms of depression. It also helps the brain manage emotions by stimulating nerve cells that do not function enough to support positive emotions! Thus, TMS can repair communication pathways between the two systems to create new POSITIVE neural pathways.

It may seem silly, but daily affirmations WORK! The traditional Metta meditation (or loving-kindness meditation) begins with expressions of self-care and compassion. To harness the power of these affirmations, find a comfortable
and quiet space where you can silently repeat this group of statements at least three times. Here is a good one from Sharon Salzberg, author of Loving Kindness:

May I be loved.
May I be safe.
May I be happy.
May I be at peace.

True! Approximately 1/3 of depressed patients have TRD (Treatment Resistant Depression). TRD is a major depressive disorder in which a person's depression has not responded to at least two types of antidepressants.

Fortunately, research indicates that psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) may offer individuals and their loved ones a path forward from TRD: In 2019, the FDA approved esketamine – a ketamine-derived nasal spray – to address treatment-resistant depression specifically.

When it comes to depression treatment, Spravato has been revolutionary.

Specifically used as a nasal spray to treat treatment-resistant depression, Spravato can begin to treat depressive symptoms within 24 hours. Plus, because it’s a more potent version of ketamine, it can be used at a lower dose and have fewer side effects.

If you’re struggling with your mental health, it’s never too late to seek help. We see you. We hear you. We've got you.
