Ketamine Treatment & Infusion

Another modern mental health treatment approach involves the structured use of low doses of ketamine to rapidly alleviate symptoms of depression and other mood disorders. Insights from Harvard Health Publishing indicate that ketamine treatment may be particularly beneficial for those who haven’t responded well to other more commonly prescribed therapies and medications.(1) 

Ketamine infusion refers to the process of administering ketamine intravenously under the supervision of a healthcare provider. The effects of a ketamine infusion occur within minutes, supplying fast and effective relief for depressive symptoms.

Depending on the location, Bishop Health offers both ketamine Spravato treatment and/or ketamine infusions. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently approved use of Spravato (esketamine) nasal spray along with an oral antidepressant for the treatment of depression among adults for which other antidepressant medicines haven’t been effective.(2) 

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy involves one-on-one sessions with a psychiatrist or other mental health professional. This treatment approach often implements principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify and transform unhealthy thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. 

During an individual therapy session, clients are encouraged to confront problematic emotions and patterns of thought to gain insight into the deeper, underlying causes of their mental health conditions. Throughout individual therapy, a psychiatrist also works with the individual to develop healthier coping strategies to more effectively manage their symptoms in the future.

Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP)

During IOP, the client attends regularly scheduled therapy sessions for a few hours per day, several days per week. However, as the name implies, IOP is a more intensive step up from regular outpatient treatment, which requires fewer sessions. IOP can be highly beneficial for those who don’t require around-the-clock care or for those unable to take the required time away from work, their families, or other obligations. With Bishop Health’s IOP, clients live at home while receiving therapeutic and psychiatric care alongside group therapy.

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Individuals with ADHD struggle with numerous cognitive tasks related to executive function, such as maintaining attention, motivation, and organization. ADHD can also make a person hyperactive and more prone to impulsive decision-making. 

Without treatment, ADHD symptoms can significantly interfere with a person’s daily functioning, relationships, responsibilities, and quality of life. Treatment for ADHD can include prescription medication, support groups, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle modification.

Bipolar Disorder

Individuals with bipolar disorder experience dramatic, episodic mood swings, ranging from manic behavior to deep depression. Bipolar disorder can greatly impact a person’s ability to function throughout their daily lives and maintain healthy relationships with their loved ones. The National Alliance on Mental Illness explains that treatment for this disorder often involves a combination of medication, psychotherapy, stress management, and lifestyle adjustments to help individuals manage symptoms and improve their emotional stability.(3)

Depression & Major Depressive Disorder

Depression and major depressive disorder are conditions hallmarked by persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness. Depressive disorders frequently come with a loss of interest in activities, a lack of energy and motivation, and many other symptoms. They’re usually managed through the administration of medication, psychotherapy, and support from family members and loved ones. The goal of depression treatment is to help individuals restore emotional balance and well-being and establish healthy strategies for coping with depressive symptoms. 

Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety disorders, such as generalized anxiety and panic disorders, are marked by persistent and often needless worry, fear, restlessness, and irritability. The Cleveland Clinic notes that treatment for anxiety can involve medications and/or working with a therapist to identify and alter unhealthy patterns of thinking.(4) Other components of anxiety disorder treatment include medication therapy, relaxation techniques, and holistic practices such as meditation and yoga. 

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

OCD is an anxiety disorder marked by obsessive, intrusive thoughts and repetitive, ritualistic behaviors aimed at alleviating the anxiety related to the thoughts. OCD can vary in intensity, but many people diagnosed with OCD experience significant distress and anxiety when they are unable to perform certain compulsive behaviors or rituals. Treatments for OCD involve psychotherapy, exposure therapy, and medications, such as antidepressants. 

Substance Use Co-Occurring Disorders

When an individual has both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition, these are referred to as co-occurring disorders. Based on insights from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, co-occurring disorders are quite common. While one may not necessarily have caused the other, substance use disorders and mental health disorders are often mutually reinforcing.(5) As such, effectively treating one condition usually requires a holistic approach that concurrently treats other co-occurring conditions.
