Suppose you’re looking for natural and effective ways to overcome depression and anxiety. In that case, this blog will guide you through the different therapies available and how our expert team can support your healing journey.

What Is Depression?

The term “depression” refers to a psychological health issue that is characterized by persistent fatigue, sadness and a decrease in enthusiasm for daily things. It can affect the way a person perceives how they feel, acts and behaves and is often coupled with anxiety.

Common symptoms include:

• Feelings of hopelessness and despair
• Low energy and fatigue
• Sleeping or sleeping poorly
• Weight fluctuations
• Trouble concentrating
• Also, you can withdraw your card

Anxiety is often a co-occurring condition with depression. It can manifest as symptoms such as excessive worry, panic attacks and anger.

Personalized Diagnosis at the Patient’s Medical

At Patients Medical, we begin with a comprehensive evaluation to uncover the root causes of your depression or anxiety. Unlike standard care that only addresses symptoms of anxiety and depression, we utilize:

• Advanced blood work and lab testing
• Hormonal and neurotransmitter analysis
• Nutritional and toxin panels
• Psychological assessments

This in-depth diagnostic process helps us understand your physical, emotional and biochemical imbalances—so we can craft a truly personalized plan.

Holistic and Conventional Treatment Options

Psychotherapy

Talk therapy is foundational in treating depression. We often integrate:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
• Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)

We work alongside licensed therapists or refer to trusted partners to ensure your emotional support needs are met.

Medication Management

Antidepressants like SSRIs and SNRIs can help regulate brain chemicals like serotonin and dopamine. At Patients Medical, we believe in the lowest effective dosing and close monitoring to minimize side effects.

However, when medications alone are not enough, we introduce holistic therapies to support lasting wellness.

Hormone Balancing

Hormonal imbalances are a major contributor to mood disorders. Conditions like hypothyroidism, adrenal dysfunction, or estrogen/testosterone fluctuations often mimic or cause depression and anxiety.

At Patients Medical’s Hormone Therapy Center, we conduct full endocrine panels to assess:

• Thyroid function (TSH, T3, T4)
• Cortisol levels
• Estrogen/testosterone balance
• DHEA and progesterone

Once imbalances are found, we craft a custom plan that may include bioidentical hormone therapy, lifestyle shifts and targeted supplements.

Nutritional and IV Therapy

Poor nutrition and deficiencies in B vitamins, magnesium, and vitamin D can severely affect mood and cognitive function.

At our IV Therapy Center, we offer targeted vitamin infusions that may include:

• B-Complex
• Vitamin D
• Magnesium
• Glutathione
• Amino acids

These therapies improve cellular health, brain function and energy levels—supporting faster recovery.

Ketamine IV Therapy

For individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression, Ketamine IV Therapy has emerged as a breakthrough.

Low-dose ketamine infusions help:

• Rapidly reduce suicidal thoughts
• Improve mood within hours or days
• Promote neuroplasticity (new brain connections)

Patients often experience relief where traditional methods have failed.

Ozone IV Therapy

Our Ozone Therapy uses medical-grade oxygen to support detoxification, cellular repair and improved oxygen delivery.

This holistic treatment boosts:

• Brain oxygenation
• Immune regulation
• Mitochondrial (cellular energy) function

When combined with nutritional support and stress reduction, ozone therapy plays a valuable role in mental wellness.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

HBOT floods tissues with pure oxygen, supporting brain recovery and reducing inflammation. This therapy is especially helpful for patients dealing with:

• Chronic stress
• PTSD
• Brain fog and fatigue

Lifestyle Coaching and Support

In addition to clinical therapies, we offer functional wellness coaching to help you implement:

• Stress management strategies
• Mind-body practices like yoga and breathwork
• Sleep optimization
• Anti-inflammatory nutrition

Our coaches support your progress every step of the way, ensuring sustainable mental and physical wellness.
