At Pacific Mind Health, our goal is the use of modern evidence-based treatments for a wide variety of mental health problems and substance use disorders with an emphasis on a whole-person wellness. We offer both traditional and new approaches to mood disorders, including pharmacologic and therapy-based treatment guided by the principal of quality of life improvement and patient satisfaction.
TMS is a non-invasive treatment where magnetic pulses are delivered to stimulate nerve cells in the part of the brain controlling the mood, which is often underactive in patients with depression. Our TMS therapy, offered in Long Beach, CA, is non-invasive due to the fact that no surgery is required to perform the treatment.
Repeated stimulation of this part of the brain has proven to produce an antidepressant effect on people suffering from depression. TMS is also known as rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) because more than one magnetic pulse is delivered to the brain during a treatment session.
Spravato® is a wonderful treatment option for those with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Typically, going to therapy and taking antidepressants are enough to help relieve depressive symptoms. However, those with TRD may find that these traditional treatment options do nothing to cope with their symptoms. In these cases, Spravato® is a great alternative.
Depression, often known as clinical depression or major depressive disorder, is a mood disorder characterized by a persistent overriding sense of sorrow and a general loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities. This lack of interest can become debilitating, leading to problems at work or at home.
Depression is more than just a passing bout of the blues. It is common to experience sadness and grief surrounding major events such as losing a loved one, divorce, or losing your job. It could be a sign of a disorder when it is persistent, changing how you think and feel and interfering with your day-to-day activities. It will often last for months or years and require long-term treatment.
Anxiety can hover over you like a dark cloud, even on your brightest days. It typically fills you with uneasiness, worry, or dread. In instances of anxiety, you may feel like a situation is causing intense and excessive fear. The sad part about anxiety is that it can hit you at any point and last for long periods of time. Often, people will try to reassure themselves that everything is okay and will be. But treating anxiety is far more difficult than that. It requires working with professionals to develop a treatment plan to help you develop coping mechanisms to reduce symptoms.
Sleep disorders are characterized by persistent issues with the timing, quality, and amount of sleep one gets each night. This lack of quality sleep can interfere with your ability to properly handle your usual activities and workload. Sleep difficulties have also been linked to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can contribute to or exacerbate any present mental health conditions. This makes sense, as sleep disorders like insomnia are often partially symptoms of other mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder—more easily and commonly known as ADHD—is a condition that impacts an individual’s self-control, focus, and a variety of other important life skills. It is a brain disorder that is characterized by an ongoing pattern of hyperactivity and impulsivity, as well as a level of inattention that interferes with daily life and normal functioning.
Though ADHD is far more common during childhood and adolescence, it can occur at any age and continue throughout one’s life. For children and adolescents, it can affect how they function at school, during extracurricular activities, and at home. Similarly, adults living with ADHD may find it difficult to hold certain careers, stay focused on their work or hobbies, or keep up important social relations.
