Major Depressive Disorder
Assessment of depressive symptoms, severity, functional impact, treatment history, safety, and appropriate next-step options.
CONDITIONS
When symptoms persist,
context matters.
CA Cortex evaluates depression and complex psychiatric presentations in context, including when chronic pain, neurologic illness, or other medical conditions are part of the picture.
Treatment-Resistant Depression
Evaluation when symptoms persist despite prior treatment, including whether TMS, esketamine, ketamine, or another strategy may be appropriate.
Depression + Chronic Pain
Psychiatric evaluation for patients whose mood symptoms coexist with chronic pain and may be complicating function, quality of life, or progress in specialty care.
Complex Psychiatric Comorbidity
Individualized assessment when psychiatric symptoms intersect with neurologic, pain, or other medical conditions.
CLINICAL PRINCIPLE
The diagnosis drives the treatment, not the other way around.
Not every patient is a candidate for an interventional treatment. Recommendations depend on a full evaluation, contraindications, prior care, current symptoms, patient preferences, and clinical judgment.
