Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD)
What is Treatment Resistant Depression?
If you or a loved one is contemplating suicide, please call 988 immediately or go to your nearest emergency department.
Depression is one of the most common medical conditions in the world. It involves symptoms such as:
Low or depressed mood
Anhedonia (decreased interest in activities that normally bring satisfaction)
Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt
Fatigue and lack of energy
Changes in appetite
Difficulty sleeping
Difficulty concentrating
Suicidal thoughts or hopelessness
Treatment resistant depression is defined as depression that has not responded to therapy with 2 or more adequate medications or the side-effects of the therapy are intolerable. Sometimes medications were effective but are no longer adequate to treat your symptoms. We encourage you to consult with your regular mental health provider to ensure you have tried treatments they have available. Many patients have tried multiple therapies and medications and combinations of both and still don’t have the relief they want.
There are several components that contribute to depression including genetics, environment, nutrition, substance abuse, personal history of traumatic events and side-effects of other medications.

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
What is Post-traumatic Stress Disorder?
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is due to the long lasting effects of negative experiences people have endured. Our brains come with an embedded warning system to look for threats and safety. When functioning properly, this warning system helps us avoid danger and seek safety. Powerful negative experiences (trauma) alter how our system works and we have a tough time seeing things in our lives as anything but a threat. The trauma we experienced becomes so embedded, we tend to experience it over and over again even long after the experience is not currently part of our lives.
How does Post-traumatic Stress Disorder affect me?
PTSD is a debilitating condition. It can be the cause of poor decision making, avoiding relationships, uncontrolled outbursts of emotion and even flashbacks. This can make it difficult to tackle day to day activities and is closely linked to substance abuse, depression and anxiety.

What is Alcohol Addiction and other Addictions?
A person is addicted to alcohol when their body has obtained a physiologic need for the substance due to constant exposure. Other addictions produce cravings, miserable withdrawal syndromes and compulsions. Addiction is a complex condition that has psychologic, physical and social components making it extremely difficult to overcome. Because the disease is so complex, the treatment is also complex and requires multiple avenues of treatment and support.

Addictions ruin relationships, rob people of their free-agency, and lead to financial, social and medical dysfunction. Your body becomes physically addicted to some substances, making it uncomfortable and sometimes life-threatening, when trying to stop. Substances and addictions alter the way you think and behave. It interferes with your judgement. At the extreme, it will strip you of your ability to function in society.
