Telemedicine for Psychiatric Appointments

In today’s digital age, accessing mental health care has become more convenient and accessible than ever before, thanks to telemedicine. Telemedicine allows individuals to receive psychiatric evaluations and treatments, therapy sessions, medication management, and ongoing support from the comfort of their own homes.

To schedule a telemedicine appointment, simply contact Mentology and request a virtual consultation with one of our licensed mental health professionals.

Secure Platform:

We use secure, HIPAA-compliant video conferencing platforms to ensure the confidentiality and security of your sessions. You'll receive instructions on how to access the virtual appointment prior to your scheduled time.

Session Preparation:

Before your appointment, take some time to ensure you have a quiet, private space where you can speak freely without interruptions. You may also want to jot down any questions or concerns you'd like to discuss with your provider.

Ketamine infusion therapy

Ketamine infusion therapy has gained attention in psychiatry as a potential treatment for various mental health conditions, particularly treatment-resistant depression (TRD).

What is Ketamine?

Ketamine is an anesthetic medication that has been used for decades in medical settings. It works primarily as an NMDA receptor antagonist, but it also has effects on other neurotransmitter systems, including glutamate, dopamine, and serotonin.

Ketamine Infusion Therapy in Psychiatry:

In psychiatry, ketamine infusion therapy involves administering a controlled dose of ketamine intravenously over a period of time, typically 40 minutes to several hours. The therapy is usually conducted in a clinic or hospital setting under the supervision of a trained medical professional.

Safety and Side Effects:

While ketamine therapy can be effective for some patients, it is not without risks. Common side effects may include dissociation, changes in blood pressure and heart rate, dizziness, nausea, and headache. There are also concerns about potential long-term effects and abuse potential, although these risks are still being studied.

Considerations:

Ketamine therapy is typically considered when other standard treatments have failed to provide relief. It's important for patients to undergo a thorough evaluation to determine if they are suitable candidates for this treatment. Additionally, ongoing monitoring and follow-up care are essential to assess treatment response and manage any side effects.

Efficacy:

Research suggests that ketamine infusion therapy may provide rapid and significant relief for individuals with TRD, often within hours to days after treatment. It has also shown promise in the treatment of other psychiatric disorders, such as bipolar depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and certain anxiety disorders.

Mechanism of Action:

The exact mechanism by which ketamine exerts its antidepressant effects is not fully understood. However, it is believed to involve modulating neurotransmitters resulting in plasticity changes in areas of the brain involved in mood regulation.
