All is Not Lost: Hope After Antidepressants Fail

Do you suffer from burnout, overwhelming amounts of stress, depression, anxiety, or inability to cope with your daily life? Have you tried to “do the right thing” by exercising, eating right, and going to your doctor? Have you taken multiple rounds of medications and have them all fail you, or worse, give you horrific side effects? You are not alone in this fight.

What if there was a way to feel better in hours or days instead of weeks to months, and without the cumbersome and lingering side effects of oral medications? Dr. Teresa Anderson is an outpatient psychiatrist in the Cincinnati area who has been treating people who suffer from anxiety, depression, and PTSD for nearly 10 years. The past two years have been devoted to “treatment resistant” conditions to offer patients a new hope outside the mainstream of antidepressants.
