Could Your TRD Use a Little TLC?

According to a journal article recently published in World Psychiatry, at least 30% of people diagnosed with depression struggle with treatment-resistant depression. If you have not received significant relief via prescribed antidepressants, you meet the criteria for TRD. We help people in Greater Milwaukee move past TRD at American Behavioral Clinics.

Find TLC in Your Daily Routine

The self-care choices we make can boost mental health. You can give your mind personalized TLC by:

• Reading
• Meditating
• Regularly exercising
• Making time for positive relationships
• Keeping a regular, nocturnal sleep schedule

Importantly, self-care offers us mental maintenance, but fully addressing TRD often requires professional therapy.

Is Our Drug-Free Therapy the Best TLC for Your Mental Health?

We humans exist on a broad spectrum, so the right answer for one person’s mental health will often differ from another person’s needs.

• In Greater Milwaukee, you can conveniently attend short, daily treatment sessions for between six and eight weeks.
• This drug-free method delivers painless treatment to your brain’s motor cortex through a small electromagnet applied to the left side of your head.
• You can expect little or no side effects.
