Curated Mental Health

For patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD), traditional medications often fall short—leaving them stuck in cycles of hopelessness. But what if relief could come within 24 hours? That’s the reality of Spravato ® (esketamine), an FDA-approved treatment that is transforming how we approach severe depression.   On February 19, 2025, Curated Mental Health partnered with The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson to host an advanced SPRAVATO® training, further solidifying its role as a leading provider of the treatment in New York City. The session, led by Dr. Marty Bennett, provided critical insights into the science, patient outcomes, and administration of the medication.   “We take the patients that were not supposed to get better, and we’re able to make them do it—often within 24 hours,” said Dr. Marty Bennet, emphasizing the life-changing potential of this innovative therapy.   ➡️ The Science Behind SPRAVATO® (esketamine) for HCPs: Hope for Those Who Need It Most   Clinical studies reveal that 53% of patients have a chance of achieving full remission, while 72% experience at least a 50% improvement in symptoms such as sleep disturbances, suicidal ideation, overall well-being, and appetite. Unlike traditional antidepressants, which can take weeks or months to show results, SPRAVATO® works on a faster timeline, providing relief when it’s needed most. Additionally, its mild side effects typically subside shortly after treatment, making it a well-tolerated and effective option.   As a pioneer in cutting-edge depression treatments, Curated Mental Health continues to lead the way in expanding access to breakthrough therapies like SPRAVATO®. This training marks another step forward in the clinic’s mission to provide transformative care for patients who have struggled to find hope elsewhere.   For more information about SPRAVATO® and innovative treatments at Curated Mental Health, visit: https://lnkd.in/gwCW4jfp or https://lnkd.in/eMGQfeCg.

Recent research from Massachusetts General Hospital emphasizes how lifestyle choices can protect brain health in later life. The study reveals that a higher Brain Care Score—an assessment of factors like diet, sleep, and social connections—correlates with a lower risk of dementia, stroke, and late-life depression, regardless of genetic predispositions. What can we do? Small changes in lifestyle—such as improving sleep quality, exercising regularly, and managing stress—can make a significant impact on our brain health. 🔗 Learn more about the Brain Care Score and how you can protect your brain as you age: https://lnkd.in/e459qSjh Source: American Psychological Association #BrainHealth #DementiaPrevention #LifestyleChanges #AgingWell #HealthTips #HealthyLiving #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealth #Marketing #Career #Physician #Nurses #Leadership #TeamBuilding #Mentoring #StrategicPlanning #EmployeeEngagement #MentalHealthAwareness #Wellbeing #Psychiatry #MentalIllnessAwareness #foryou #foryoupage #fyp #fy #Productivity

Research shows that a healthy diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats, can reduce symptoms of depression and improve overall mood. As mental health professionals, understanding the link between nutrition and mental health is essential. Nutritional strategies, when combined with traditional therapies, offer a more holistic approach to treatment and recovery. 🤔 Why does diet matter? Brain health: A balanced diet supports brain function and can reduce inflammation, which is linked to mental health issues. Improved mood: Diets like the Mediterranean diet, rich in omega-3s (fatty fish) and leafy greens, have shown significant benefits in boosting mood. Long-term recovery: For those recovering from depression, proper nutrition helps maintain emotional stability and prevent relapse. 💡 Key Foods for a Healthy Mind: Fatty fish (salmon, mackerel): Packed with omega-3s essential for brain health. Leafy greens & fruits: Rich in antioxidants that combat inflammation. Whole grains: Provide steady energy for the brain. Nuts & seeds: Great sources of healthy fats and vitamins.

Have you ever wondered why some people who’ve overcome depression still struggle with negative thoughts? New research from the American Psychological Association sheds light on this intriguing question. It turns out that even after depression subsides, former patients may still experience persistent negative thinking that affects their mental health and overall well-being. ➡️ What the Research Reveals According to the APA, individuals who have previously battled depression can continue to face an uphill battle with negative self-perceptions and pessimistic thought patterns. This lingering cognitive bias can make them more susceptible to stress, anxiety, and even potential relapse. ➡️ Why Does This Happen? Neural Pathways: Depression can rewire the brain, creating neural pathways that reinforce negative thinking. Cognitive Habits: Prolonged periods of depression can make negative thinking a default mode, making it hard to shift to more positive patterns. Stress Response: Stress can trigger these entrenched negative thought patterns, even after depression symptoms subside. ➡️ What Can Be Done? Mindfulness and Meditation: Cultivating present-moment awareness can help disrupt negative thought patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT techniques can train your brain to recognize and challenge negative thoughts. Self-Compassion Practices: Being kind to yourself can gradually replace negative self-talk with more supportive and constructive thoughts. Engage in Positive Activities: Activities that bring joy or relaxation can rewire negative pathways and promote a more positive outlook.
