If you hear something alarming about a treatment, check it with a professional. Social media does not replace a medical evaluation or a clinical conversation.

🧠💉 Myths vs. Facts about Esketamine

Esketamine is an FDA-approved treatment for treatment-resistant depression, but it is often misunderstood. Let’s clear things up:

❌ Myth: “It’s just a recreational drug.”
✅ Fact: Esketamine is a prescription medication, administered in a controlled medical setting with precise dosing and professional monitoring.

❌ Myth: “It’s unsafe or experimental.”
✅ Fact: It is used under strict clinical protocols, including screening, in-session observation, and follow-up care.

❌ Myth: “It’s the same as street ketamine.”
✅ Fact: Esketamine is a regulated, purified form designed specifically to treat depression when other treatments have not worked.

💡 What matters
It’s not a quick fix or a casual option — it is a serious medical treatment used with careful clinical oversight.

At Balanced Minds ATX, we believe in innovative, safe, evidence-based treatments to support your mental health. 💙

💡 Tip

When you feel a strong emotion, try putting a specific name to it: is it sadness, melancholy, anger, or frustration? Naming it helps you understand it better and choose a healthier way to respond. 🧠✨

🌟 Identifying and Naming Your Emotions: The Vocabulary of Mental Health

Learning to name what we feel is a key step in understanding ourselves and managing emotions in a healthy way. Not all feelings are the same, and distinguishing them helps us respond more effectively.

🔹 Practical examples:

Sadness vs. Melancholy: Sadness is often intense and short-lived, while melancholy is gentler, deeper, and more persistent.

Anger vs. Frustration: Anger arises when we feel threatened or wronged; frustration appears when obstacles prevent us from reaching our goals.

💡 Benefits of naming your emotions:
• Greater self-awareness and clarity
• Better communication with others
• Easier emotional regulation and more effective help-seeking

Learning the language of our emotions is learning to take care of ourselves. 💙

Having a growth mindset means understanding that skills, emotional resilience, and the way we face challenges can be developed over time—they are not fixed traits.

🔍 How does it impact mental health?
• Reduces fear of failure and mistakes
• Encourages self-compassion and patience
• Increases motivation and adaptability
• Helps view therapy as a learning process, not a setback

🌱 How to start developing a growth mindset
✔️ Replace “I can’t” with “I’m still learning”
✔️ See mistakes as information, not personal flaws
✔️ Focus on the process, not just immediate results
✔️ Seek professional support as part of growth, not as a weakness

Mental health is not static. With the right support, it can strengthen and evolve. 💙

At Balanced Minds ATX, we believe in the power of growth—even during difficult moments.

Si un video en redes sociales te hace pensar “esto soy yo”, tómalo como una señal para consultar, no como un diagnóstico. Guardar el contenido puede ayudarte a explicar lo que sientes, pero la claridad y el tratamiento adecuado siempre comienzan con una evaluación profesional.

En redes sociales, especialmente en plataformas como TikTok, es común encontrar videos que “diagnostican” ansiedad, depresión, TDAH u otros trastornos en menos de un minuto. Aunque este contenido puede generar identificación y abrir conversaciones, también tiene riesgos.

🔍 ¿Cómo influye en la búsqueda de ayuda profesional?

✔️ Puede ser un primer paso
Para muchas personas, el contenido viral pone nombre a un malestar que no sabían cómo explicar y las anima a buscar apoyo profesional.

⚠️ Pero no reemplaza una evaluación clínica
Los diagnósticos simplificados pueden llevar a la autodiagnosis, a confusión o a retrasar un tratamiento adecuado.

🧠 La salud mental es compleja y personal
Lo que ves en un video puede parecerte familiar, pero solo un profesional puede evaluar tu historia, contexto y síntomas de forma integral.

🤝 El mejor uso del contenido digital
Que sea una puerta de entrada a la curiosidad y la conciencia, no el punto final del proceso.

En Balanced Minds ATX creemos en usar la información para acercarte a la ayuda correcta, no para sustituirla. 💙

If you’re considering TMS, don’t see it as a quick fix. Use this period to start or continue psychotherapy—when the brain becomes more responsive, it’s also the best time to work on habits, thoughts, and emotions that support long-term well-being.

Integration makes the difference. 🧠✨

🧠✨ The Role of the Psychologist and Psychiatrist: Integrating TMS with Therapy

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is not a standalone treatment. Its greatest strength lies in being integrated with psychotherapy and psychiatric care.

👩‍⚕️ The Psychiatrist
Evaluates the diagnosis, determines whether TMS is an appropriate option, oversees the treatment, and adjusts medication when needed. Their role is essential to ensure a safe and personalized approach.

🧠 The Psychologist
Supports the patient’s emotional process, works on the underlying causes of distress, and helps integrate the changes facilitated by TMS. Therapy turns clinical improvement into practical tools for everyday life.

🤝 An Integrated Approach
When TMS, psychotherapy, and psychiatry work together, treatment goes beyond symptom relief and focuses on long-term stability, self-awareness, and overall well-being.

At Balanced Minds ATX, we believe mental health is built through teamwork. 💙
