When medications fail to work and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) negatively affects your life, the Center for Interventional Psychiatry at the Institute of Living might be the solution.

We offer:

  • Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)
    This therapy is delivered to the brain, which releases a surge of neurotransmitters that help reset the pathways associated with depression.

  • Esketamine Treatment
    This nasal spray was approved in March 2019, by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use with an oral antidepressant for people with “treatment-resistant depression” or MDD that does not respond over time to different medications or treatment. Learn more >>

  • Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
    This therapy is a form of neuromodulation that delivers focused, MRI-strength magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in an area of the brain linked to depression.

About the Center:

The Center for Interventional Psychiatry was created to offer treatments to adults with treatment resistant depression, who are currently on antidepressant medication but still experience significant symptoms.

Symptoms of MDD include:

  • Persistent depressed mood or loss of interest in activities
  • Changes in sleep
  • Changes in appetite
  • Low energy
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Low self-esteem
  • Feelings of guilt
  • Thoughts of suicide

If your symptoms of depression have not responded to treatment and continue to negatively impact your life, you can talk with your psychiatric provider (a psychiatrist or psychiatric APRN) to have them complete our online referral form to the Center for Interventional Psychiatry. Our staff will reach out to schedule a consult if appropriate.
