Psychiatrists In Greenwich, CT

Psychopharmacology focuses on the medication aspect of psychiatry to treat mental health conditions. For some, prescription drugs can help manage brain chemical imbalances and improve symptoms. If your treatment includes psychopharmacology, your Greenwich psychiatrist will monitor the medication and adjust doses as needed.

Several medication options may be available depending on your condition. Each medication can target specific symptoms and lessen the disorder’s effect on your body. Some of these include:

• Antidepressants
• Antipsychotics
• Stimulants
• Anti-anxiety medications
• Mood stabilizers

When depression is severe, it can become resistant to specific treatments. Ketamine therapy may be an effective treatment option when other approaches have been unsuccessful. Ketamine therapy is an IV treatment, directly supplementing the bloodstream with small doses of anesthetic ketamine as an antidepressant. Many studies have confirmed the usage of ketamine in this way, showing it as a rapid, effective treatment option. Principium Psychiatry offers Ketamine therapy at our Connecticut location.

Like ketamine therapy, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) can be an effective treatment option if severe depression persists through medications and talk therapy. TMS is safe and noninvasive, working to send electric pulses through the brain through a wire coil against the scalp. The treatment targets several receptors in the brain and stimulates them to produce neurotransmitters and other pathways involved in mood regulation. Principium Psychiatry provides TMS treatment in Connecticut.
