Finding your way through the mental health disorders with common treatments such as medication and therapy can be a challenging experience. Although these approaches show efficiency and many patients rely on them for their treatment, a number of people face some challenges on the way. Side effects, absence of the preferred outcome or the feeling of being trapped in the treatment are among the common hurdles that people experience. There is hope in the form of integrative psychiatry to address mental illness. Read the post to explore more.
Advanced Diagnostic Tools
Shifa Health uses cutting-edge tools such as Quantitative Electroencephalography (QEEG), Stress Hormone Testing, Lifestyle Genetic Testing, and Food Allergy Testing. These diagnostic tools help make tailored treatment plans.
Quantitative Electroencephalography (QEEG)
It follows that the analysis of QEEG shows electrical activity of the brain, which determines selection of optimal treatment.
Stress Hormone Testing
This testing is useful for determining exactly how stress affects your body, and it is the first step in improving stress handling abilities.
Lifestyle Genetic Testing
Through lifestyle genetic testing, it is possible to know how unique genetic makeup influences an individual’s health and behavior.
Food Allergy Testing
Another process that mirrors the presence of food allergies with regard to a person’s mental health includes food allergy testing.
Innovative Therapies
We have the latest treatments like TMS Therapy and Spravato (ketamine) for depression when other treatments fail or are ineffective. It should be noted that these therapies can help those people who have tried all the approaches and drugs and have no positive outcomes.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
TMS is a painless therapy that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain, which can improve symptoms of depression.
Spravato (Esketamine)
Spravato is the nasal spray formulation of esketamine; it provides almost immediate action for treatment-resistant depression and appears to have potential as a therapeutic tool for improving individuals’ quality of well-being.
