Treatment options
Treatment options are not one size fits all.
Dr. Medaris offers in-person visits at his Saint Peter's location, but he is also available to be seen from the comfort of your own home or office via Telehealth appointments. During the initial visits, you will be able to determine whether genetic testing, TMS therapy, lifestyle changes, or traditional medicine would be the most effective approach for your treatment plan. At New Day, we recognize that each patient is a whole person. We want to treat you in a holistic manner that brings dignity back to mental health medicine.
Genetic Testing
Everyone's genetic makeup is diverse, and the way your body interacts with and metabolizes various medications can affect the performance of the treatment. We can do an easy cheek swab to determine the best course of action for you!
TMS Therapy
As stated on the Mayo Clinic website, "Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of major depression." Dr. Medaris has been an instrumental provider for this therapy in the St. Louis region. If other depression treatments have been unsuccessful, TMS could be a helpful, noninvasive tool.
Lifestyle Changes
So often, our mental health is affected by many variables in our lives. We can often avoid prescription medications when we look at your life holistically. When we address a treatment plan together, there may be recommendations for dietary, physical, and supplemental changes to improve your overall health outcomes!
