If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, you are not alone and help is available. At Resiliency Mind + Body Medicine, our physician-led team offers advanced, evidence-based treatment options for individuals struggling with severe depression and suicidal ideation, including SPRAVATO® (esketamine) nasal spray and BrainsWay® Deep TMS, integrated into comprehensive psychiatric care. These treatments are provided alongside careful medical evaluation, medication management, and ongoing support to help stabilize symptoms and create a path toward safety and recovery.
Both SPRAVATO® and BrainsWay® Deep TMS have demonstrated meaningful effectiveness in reducing depressive symptoms and, for many patients, helping to rapidly decrease the intensity of suicidal thoughts when used as part of physician-led care.
SPRAVATO® is FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression and depressive symptoms in adults with acute suicidal ideation or behavior, and Deep TMS is FDA-cleared for major depressive disorder, offering non-invasive options for patients who have not found adequate relief with medications alone. These treatments are covered by many insurance plans when medical criteria are met, and our team provides dedicated support with benefits verification and prior authorization to help reduce barriers to care.
Suicidal ideation involves thinking about, considering, or planning suicide. These thoughts can range from fleeting to persistent and can be a symptom of underlying mental health conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or severe anxiety. Key aspects of suicidal ideation include:
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) targets specific brain areas involved in mood regulation and emotional control. By delivering magnetic pulses to these regions, TMS can help modulate brain activity, reducing the intensity and frequency of suicidal thoughts and improving overall mental health.
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.
At Resiliency Mind+Body Medicine, your journey to relief from suicidal ideation begins with a comprehensive evaluation. This initial consultation allows our team to assess your medical history, current symptoms, and treatment goals to determine if TMS or SPRAVTO is the right choice for you.
We then develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. TMS sessions typically last about 10 minutes and are conducted five days a week for several weeks. During each session, you will sit comfortably while the TMS device delivers magnetic pulses to the targeted brain regions. There is no need for anesthesia, and you can resume your normal activities immediately after each session.
Spravato sessions last 2 hours, and occur twice weekly for the first month for suicidal ideations.
Our team provides continuous support throughout the treatment process, closely monitoring your progress and making any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal results. Our goal is to help you achieve lasting relief from suicidal ideation and regain hope and stability in your life.
