What is Depression Therapy?
Major depression is a serious mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest or pleasure in daily activities. At Envision Mind Care, we offer a variety of depression therapy options that are designed to target the underlying causes of depression while alleviating symptoms to improve overall mental well-being. Our therapies include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), advanced medication management, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), and innovative treatments like Ketamine and Psilocybin, carefully administered under strict professional guidelines.

Our approach combines conventional treatments with novel therapies such as Ketamine and TMS, providing clients with the depression help Edmonton residents have come to rely on for effective results.

Steps in Our Depression Treatment Program
Step 1: Initial Assessment with Therapist and Consultant Psychiatrist
Upon admission to our program, you will receive a thorough assessment by our experienced therapists or consultant psychiatrist. This assessment will involve evaluating your symptoms, medical history, and personal goals for treatment. We take the time to understand your unique needs and tailor a treatment plan that fits you.
Step 2: Clarification on Diagnosis
Once the assessment is complete, we will provide you with a clear understanding of your diagnosis. Our team will explain in simple terms what depression is, its causes, and how it may manifest in your specific case. We believe that education and understanding are crucial in empowering you to take an active role in your treatment journey.
Step 3: Advice on Management
Based on your assessment and diagnosis, our team will offer comprehensive advice on managing your depression. This may include a combination of evidence-based and experimental treatments, if necessary, tailored to your needs.
Evidence-based treatments include:
Medication: You might be suffering from treatment resistance and have already tried SSRI and SNRI medications. We offer medication suggestions which does not increase weight or affect your sexual functioning. We listen to our clients concerns and if you prefer alternative treatments, we will consider the same. We will always encourage you to consider using medications in the long run as it is the cheapest and most effective form of treatment which will help you to maintain wellness.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS): TMS is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain, showing efficacy in reducing depression symptoms, particularly for those who have not responded to traditional therapies. This program is 5 days a week for 6 weeks - each session lasting around 45 min to 1 hour. Shortened 3 min sessions are also available.
Ketamine : Available as Spravato (Esketamine), Ketamine is an evidence based treatment for treatment resistant depression. Racemic Ketamine (which contains both Esketamine and R Ketamine) could also be used effectively for treating depression. We have treated more than 300 patients effectively with a remarkable success in reducing suicidality and depression within few weeks of treatments. We help our patients suffering from treatment resistance to make a substantial recovery within a short period of time.
Cognitive behavioral therapy : CBT is a widely recognized and effective treatment for depression, focusing on identifying and modifying maladaptive thoughts , feeling and behaviors to improve mood and overall functioning. We hope to provide psychological therapy along with your other treatments.
Experimental treatments, reserved for patients who have not responded to conventional treatments and used under strict supervision and guidelines, include:
Psilocybin: Derived from "magic mushrooms," psilocybin is being researched for its potential antidepressant effects, with preliminary studies showing promise in reducing depression symptoms by promoting lasting changes in thought patterns and emotional processing. Psilocybin administration needs to be under a Special Access Program and this program will be available soon possibly in fall 2023.
MDMA: Commonly known as "ecstasy," MDMA is currently being studied for its potential use in therapy-resistant depression, as it may facilitate emotional processing and enhance the therapeutic alliance, leading to improved treatment outcomes. MDMA is still very much under research and is not available at Envision Mind Care as of now.
Step 4: Program Duration
The duration of your depression treatment program will vary depending on the nature and severity of your illness. Typically, our program ranges from 6 weeks to 12 weeks. Our team will closely monitor your progress and work with you to determine the optimal duration for your individual needs, adjusting the duration based on your progress as necessary.
If you are from out of province or out of Country we will offer you treatment programs which can be shortened to 4 weeks.
Step 5: Follow-Up Care
We believe in providing comprehensive care even after your treatment program. Our team will offer follow-up care for up to 6 months , depending on your location. This may include regular check-ins, therapy sessions, medication management, and support to help you maintain the progress you have made during your program.
