Our Approach

As a best psychiatry practice, at C Care we use DNA Drug Response Studies extensively. We use a simple saliva test that enables us to find the genetically optimal medications for a specific condition that a patient needs for treatment. Genomind does the most extensive DNA Drug Response Study panel.

Genomind

DNA Drug response Studies give us a wealth of useful information on how drugs affect or not affect an individual. These studies tell us if a psychiatric drug is removed very slowly from the body of a patient it may double up in their blood making it intolerable. Conversely, a drug might be removed so rapidly from the body that it never reaches an effective level in the blood.

These studies can shed useful light on MTHFR deficiencies. Simply put, Methyl Tetra Hydrofolate Reductase is responsible for converting Folic Acid to L-Methylfolate which goes on to become Serotonin in the body. MTHFR-deficient individuals might suffer from Treatment Resistant Depression.

Psychiatry Practice

In modern psychiatry practice, we can not only find the genetically optimal medication for Treatment-Resistant Depression we use Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation or DTMS to enhance treatment response further. There is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and then there is Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation.

BrainsWay Deep TMS - Innovative, Noninvasive Treatment

Brainsway is the superlative DTMS machine and we offer that in our office using the latest model (Model name and number here). We are a Brainsway Certified Partner in St Louis.

Another useful way to address Treatment Resistant Depression is by using Intranasal Esketamine. This medication is called Spravato. Spravato is a simple office-based Esketamine treatment that is used in conjunction with genetically optimized psychiatric medication.

We have been a Spravato Certified Psychiatric practice since the medication was released. We do the initial course and maintenance course extensively in the office.
Most insurance companies will cover DTMS and Spravato treatments after proper documentation is provided to them by the psychiatrist.
