Ketamine can be administered as an intravenous IV injection or as a prescription nose spray. Contact us online or call us at to learn more about it. Electroconvulsive therapy ECT is a minute procedure performed under general anesthesia, in a hospital. ECT is typically only recommended when other treatment options have failed, due partly to the potential for serious side effects including memory loss , and also because it requires a hospital stay.
Different people respond to different depression treatments for a variety of reasons.

In order to individualize treatment of patients, we must identify the subtype of depression that each patient has, according to which netowork is not funcitoning properly, and then stimulate the pathological network, rather than our current method of stimulating everybody over the DLPFC.
EEG studies have identified 3 subtypes of depression. EEG patterns may be one way to begin subtyping patients with depression. For example, Webb and colleagues have identified three subtypes of depression based on EEG patterns and symptoms that correlate to the three networks identified to be associated with depression. More about the three networks later. How does TMS work, on the network level? Answer: TMS strengthens or weakens synapses in cortico-striatal-thalamic loops.
How does TMS work? On the network level, TMS works by strengthening or weakening synapses in the circuits of cortico-striatal-thalamic loops. Think of the images you have seen of TMS stimulation in which stimulation at the local site has distant effects. The brain is complicated, and processing the signals of circuits is what the brain does to carry out its functions. Which Cortico-Striatal-Thalamic loops are involved in Depression?
Where is the lesion? Of the seven major networks, only three appear to be of particular interest to psychiatrists. Following are the three networks. If the salience network is down, then one can't shut down their negative intrusive thoughts. TMS of the Salience network causes growth of gray matter. Put another way: TMS takes your brain to physical therapy. And that's helpful because there are different loop circuits that go with different symptom clusters in this heterogeneous entity that we call major depression.
The Salience Network involves many of the major psychiatric disorders, not just depression. Downar: " And likewise, [the Salience Network impacts] not only depression — but also bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, OCD, eating disorders, substance use disorders.
What does a patient with a Salience Network deficiency look like? When describing a patient who has difficulty with cognitive control from a Salience Network deficiency, Downar made us laugh:. I used to purge when I was younger now I've stopped. I used to cut myself now I don't do that anymore. Shows up 20 minutes late to the appointment because they couldn't get disengaged from whatever they were doing before.
