Innovative Treatments for Depression Available in Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh, PA. - Residents in the Bloomfield and Fox Chapel area have new options for life-saving depression treatment.

New Directions Mental Health Bloomfield announced they have added Spravato® to their treatment plans, while the Fox Chapel clinic had introduced NeuroStar Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) as part of their remedies for depression.

“Mental health is so critical, and typically if someone suffers from depression, we see those symptoms worsen during the winter months,” said Dr. Allison Bashe, Regional Clinic Director. “That is why the timing is perfect for both Bloomfield and Fox Chapel to offer these services and increase the availability of mental health resources to a wider range of those suffering in our community.”

Spravato® is a nasal spray that acts to alter brain chemistry in adults suffering from treatment-resistant depression. Meanwhile, TMS therapy serves as a non-drug service that advertises lasting relief from symptoms of depression while removing side effects of antidepressant medications.

New Directions Mental Health says they proudly accept most major insurance plans, including Medicaid and Medicare and many of their locations. For more information, you can visit newdirectionspgh.com/.
