- Worrying about worst-case scenarios throughout your day
- Feeling a sense of emptiness or worthlessness
- Becoming more withdrawn and isolated from family, friends, and other loved ones
- Difficulty focusing and concentrating in important areas of your life
- Intense fears, phobias, or obsessions
- Experiencing sounds or images that others don’t perceive
- Difficulty relating to others after experiencing trauma, like abuse or war
- Chronic medical conditions
- Concerns about weight gain related to psychiatric medications or psychiatric conditions
Genetic testing referrals
We may explore the option of a genetic testing referral for those who would like to incorporate medications into their treatment.
Additionally, just like a fingerprint, each person’s body has a unique genetic design. These differences may impact how certain medications are metabolized. By having this information at the forefront, we can be more selective in the types of medication that would yield the least amount of side effects. That way, we can further tailor treatment to you and your own unique body.
Overall, whether you’d like support managing your current psychotropic medication, or are interested in starting treatment, we can help.

Further, a study of NeuroStar patients who completed treatment showed that 83% found measurable relief, and 62% experienced complete remission of their depression.
