Abstract
Mental health disorders are among the most common health conditions in the United States. Traditional clinical treatments rely on psychiatric counseling and, in many cases, prescription medications. We propose an innovative model, Interventional Mental Health, which employs a combination of modalities through a multifaceted approach to treat conditions that have exhibited limited responsiveness to traditional methods and individuals afflicted with multiple comorbidities simultaneously. We hypothesize that creating a unique treatment algorithm combining current therapeutic modalities such as Stellate Ganglion Blocks (SGB), Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy, and ketamine therapy, within a consolidated timeframe, will yield synergistic outcomes among patients presenting with comorbid post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and/or anxiety.
