Innovative options for depression 

Many LightHeart Mental Health clinics offer TMS or Spravato® for adults who have not experienced meaningful relief from antidepressant medications. These treatments are provided by trained providers and are often used alongside therapy or psychiatric care. These innovative depression treatments can open new possibilities for people living with long-term depression by providing treatment options that work differently from traditional medications.  

What Is TMS?

Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a non-drug treatment for major depressive disorder that offers a different path forward when traditional medications have not been helpful.  83% of patients who have received NeuroStar TMS treatment experience an improvement in the severity of their depression symptoms. It uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate underactive areas of the brain that play a role in mood regulation. TMS is FDA-cleared and may be an option for adults seeking additional support in their depression care. Sessions take place in the clinic, and you can return to your daily activities afterward.  

What Is Spravato®?

Spravato® (esketamine) is an FDA-approved nasal spray treatment for adults with difficult-to-treat depression. It is used together with an oral antidepressant and administered in-clinic under medical supervision. Spravato® has been shown to lead to faster and more noticeable improvement in depression symptoms compared to placebo, with some people experiencing meaningful changes within the first 24 hours and continued progress in the weeks that follow treatment.
