Persistent Thoughts of Death— Ongoing thoughts about dying or self-harm

Feelings of Hopelessness— Believing that things will never get better and that suicide is the only solution

Emotional Pain— Intense emotional distress and a feeling of being overwhelmed

Isolation— Withdrawing from friends, family, and activities once enjoyed

How Our Treatments Work

How Deep TMS Works for Suicidal Ideation

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (Deep TMS) targets specific brain areas involved in mood regulation and emotional control. By delivering magnetic pulses to these regions, Deep TMS can help modulate brain activity to reduce the depressive symptoms that often underlie suicidal thoughts.

How Spravato® Works for Suicidal Ideation

Spravato® (esketamine) works by rapidly modulating glutamate pathways in the brain, helping restore neural connections involved in mood regulation and stress response. When used alongside comprehensive psychiatric care, it can quickly reduce the intensity of depressive symptoms and suicidal thoughts for many patients.
