Advanced Depression Treatment
If you don't experience any improvement from the first-line antidepressant, your doctor could increase the dosage or prescribe another kind of medication. They might also suggest psychotherapy.
The latest psychotherapy techniques, such as augmented depression therapy have empirical support and can help improve depression symptoms. These treatments are aimed at the identification and resolution of specific ways in which depression can affect your daily routine.
Transcranial Magnetic Treatment For Depression Stimulation (TMS)
TMS is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that utilizes magnetic pulses to affect the brain's neurons that control mood. It is usually used to treat depression when medication fails or is not appropriate for the individual. It is used to treat PTSD and, in some cases, combined psychotherapy. TMS is a safe and effective treatment that doesn't trigger serious side effects.
During the session, a medical professional will place an electromagnetic coil on the region of your brain that controls mood. In the case of rTMS, this is the dorsolateral frontal cortex (dLPFC). This is a small region that is located in front of your brain. You will hear a click sound and feel a thumping sensation as the device sends the brain with electrical impulses. The healthcare expert will alter the settings to stimulate the desired areas of your brain.
The healthcare professional will assess the amount of energy needed to trigger a thumb blink. This is crucial because it lets them know the amount of power they're using to ensure patient safety. In the past, the pulses were delivered at 120% of the threshold for motor. However, the current research is focused on accelerating TMS therapy to reduce duration of treatment and increase response rates.
In a controlled, randomized study researchers have demonstrated that TMS can help people with major depressive disorder (MDD) who are unable to respond to antidepressants. The study revealed that patients who were treated with rTMS saw significant improvements in symptoms like low mood and sadness as well as changes in appetite, loss of enthusiasm or enjoyment for activities. The study also revealed that the improvement was long-lasting.
TMS is different from other types of brain stimulation such as electroconvulsive treatment and vagus nerve stimulator. It is not a factor in psychotherapy. It is also safe for women who are pregnant, and it has a very low risk of seizures. Some patients might experience pain or discomfort on their scalp beneath the magnet during treatment.
TMS treatments usually last for around 30 minutes. The doctor will inform you of the duration of the treatment and may pause pulses to allow the magnet to cool down.
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS)
VNS (also called Vagus Nerve Stimulation Therapy) is a treatment option that sends timed electrical signals to change brain wave patterns and reduce depression symptoms. This device is surgically implanted and consists of tiny generators that are connected to a wire that is wound around the left Vagus nerve of the neck. FDA approved the procedure for people with depression that is resistant to treatment and who haven't had relief from other treatments such as psychotherapy and medication. It is also approved for seizure control in certain epileptic patients.
Researchers compared the efficacy of VNS with a sham-device for patients suffering from treatment-resistant unipolar disorder or bipolar depression. The VNS group received moderate, low, dose or high dose of electrical stimulation over a period of 22 weeks. The primary endpoint was improvement in the Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (IDS-SR30). Patients in the VNS group had significantly better results than those in the group with a sham. At a 12-month follow-up patients in the VNS group had a mean IDS-SR30 score of 9.3 points, while those in the group of sham scored 4.2 points.
The VNS treatment was well-tolerated. The most frequently reported side effects were voice alteration, hoarseness, and a sensation in the chest. Other reported side effects were headache, tingling, fatigue and changes in swallowing or speech. Some of these occurred more often in the higher dose groups, whereas others happened at all doses. The rate of AEs was similar to those seen in other studies, and they generally cleared by the end the acute study period.
Psychiatrists from Ohio State Wexner Medical Center are regularly invited to participate in national discussions on the best natural treatment for depression approach to treat depression and mood disorders. Our experts are helping to establish national standards for health treatment. We are also a site for a multicenter clinical study called RECOVER, which is being conducted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The purpose of this study is to evaluate VNS for treating resistant depression treatment no medication. This is a significant research endeavor, since the evidence available today suggests that VNS can offer improving benefit and hope for this difficult-to-treat chronic population.
Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)
ECT is an effective treatment for depression that is advanced and suitable for those who aren't getting better with medications. It is especially helpful for those who are suicidal, or are unable to wait until their medication to start working.
During the ECT procedure doctors send tiny electric currents to the brain to deliberately cause an immediate seizure. This is believed to alter brain chemical structure and speedily improve symptoms of certain mental health conditions. ECT has been used since the 1930s. Despite the stigma associated with the treatment, it has helped many people.
Your doctor will first have to conduct a thorough mental examination before suggesting ECT. They will review your medical records and perform several tests, including an electrocardiogram, blood tests and perhaps the chest X-ray. They will ask you about how you feel about ECT and will consider any opinions from family members or friends speaking on your behalf.
The ECT procedure is done under general anesthesia so you will not feel anything. A mouth guard is put in place to protect your teeth. a mask is put over your face to provide oxygen. An anesthesiologist injects an esthetic into your vein by using needle. Once you've fallen asleep, electrodes are placed on both sides of your head (depending on whether you have unilateral or bilateral ECT). These pulses deliver small electrical impulses to the brain, causing an instant seizure. It lasts only 20 to 60 second and you will wake up soon after.
It is important to keep in mind that you can withdraw your consent for ECT at anytime, even prior to the first treatment. This is your right under Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulations and your doctor must always take into account your wishes when considering ECT for you.
Some people find ECT is a good option after having tried other therapies but haven't seen any improvements, but it can also be used to treat mild depression or severe psychosis, or if you're at risk to yourself or others and are unable to wait for treatment to start working. The majority of patients will require several ECT sessions spread over three to six weeks.
Light therapy
Light therapy compensates for lack of sunlight, which could contribute to major depressive disorder with seasonal patterns (formerly known as seasonal affective disorder). It can be used as a stand-alone treatment or as an addition to other treatments, such as psychotherapy or medication. When you undergo light therapy, you sit near a light box or lamp which emits bright light usually between 2,500 and 10,000 lux. During each session, you'll sit for 30 minutes near the lamp. The light can boost your mood and alleviate symptoms of SAD like feeling constantly tired and a sleepy night.
Although researchers aren't sure how light therapy works to treat SAD, they do know that it has an immediate influence on the circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms affect sleep patterns, hormones and other functions. Light therapy can reset the internal clock of your body by influencing melatonin release, a chemical which regulates sleep-wake cycles. It also affects neurotransmitter function through affecting the production of serotonin a chemical that lifts your mood.
A number of studies have proven that light therapy can improve postnatal depression treatment symptoms and boosts the effectiveness of antidepressant medications. Several studies have also shown that light therapy can be used to treat bipolar disorder. These findings are encouraging and suggest light therapy may be a possibility for people with both depression and bipolar disorder.
Before you start using light therapy, talk to your doctor or mental health professional about it. They can assist you in selecting the best device and provide guidelines on how to use it. They can also let you know whether it is incompatible with other medications that you're taking.
Light therapy is a safe treatment that does not cause any adverse side adverse effects. However, you should use it according to the instructions of your physician. It is important to seek treatment as soon as possible if you are suffering from depression that is severe. Depression is a serious disease and it can result in severe consequences for your physical and emotional well-being. In severe cases, it can even lead to thoughts of suicide. If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, seek help immediately from an expert in mental health.
