    How Clinicians Choose Between TMS Therapy and Ketamine

    When traditional depression treatments aren't providing enough relief, newer options like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Ketamine Therapy are changing the conversation around mental health care. But how do clinicians decide which treatment may be the better fit? In this episode, we explore the key differences between TMS and ketamine therapy, including how each treatment works, who may benefit most, potential advantages and limitations, and why personalized psychiatric care matters when treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, and treatment-resistant mental health conditions. You'll learn: ✔ What TMS therapy is and how it stimulates specific brain regions ✔ How ketamine therapy works differently from traditional antidepressants ✔ Which patients may be candidates for each treatment ✔ Factors clinicians consider when recommending treatment options ✔ The importance of individualized mental health care plans At Zeam Health & Wellness, we believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to mental health treatment.

  2. How Teletherapy Fits Into Ongoing Psychiatric Treatment Plans for Chronic Conditions

    How Teletherapy Fits Into Ongoing Psychiatric Treatment Plans for Chronic Conditions

    Managing chronic mental health conditions often requires more than a one-time treatment plan. Consistent care, regular follow-ups, medication management, and ongoing therapeutic support all play a critical role in long-term stability and symptom management. In this episode, we explore how teletherapy has become an important part of modern psychiatric treatment plans for chronic conditions such as anxiety disorders, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and other ongoing mental health challenges. We discuss how virtual therapy can improve access to care, reduce barriers to treatment, support medication management, and help patients stay engaged in their mental health journey over time. You'll learn why continuity of care matters, how teletherapy fits alongside psychiatric services, and why many patients find virtual appointments make it easier to maintain consistent treatment and achieve better long-term outcomes. Whether you're currently receiving mental health treatment, considering teletherapy, or supporting a loved one with a chronic mental health condition, this episode provides valuable insight into how technology is helping make ongoing psychiatric care more accessible and sustainable.

    How Neurofeedback Therapy Is Used When Traditional Psychiatric Treatment Is Not Effective

    When traditional psychiatric treatments are not providing enough relief, neurofeedback therapy may offer a new path forward. In this episode, we explore how neurofeedback works, why it is gaining attention in modern mental health care, and how it can support individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, and other conditions. We discuss how neurofeedback trains the brain using real-time feedback, helping patients improve emotional regulation, focus, sleep, and overall mental performance without invasive procedures or heavy medication dependence. We also break down what patients can expect during sessions, who may benefit most, and why personalized, brain-based care is becoming an important part of the future of mental health treatment. If you are interested in innovative mental health therapies, holistic psychiatric care, or alternatives when traditional treatment has not been effective, this episode offers valuable insight into one of the fastest-growing areas of mental wellness.

  4. How Spravato Fits Into Modern Psychiatric Treatment Plans

    How Spravato Fits Into Modern Psychiatric Treatment Plans

    For a long time, treating depression meant trying antidepressants until something worked. Or didn’t. For people who cycled through multiple medications without improvement, options got limited fast. That’s part of the clinical reality that led to Spravato's approval. Spravato (esketamine) is an FDA-approved nasal spray for adults with treatment-resistant depression. It works through a different brain pathway than standard antidepressants, gets administered in a clinic, and tends to act faster. This podcast explores what that means for psychiatric treatment, how clinicians use it, where it fits within a care plan, and what the experience entails.

    What Patients Notice in the Early Stages of TMS Therapy

    In this episode, we explore what patients commonly notice during the early stages of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy for depression. From the physical sensations during treatment to the subtle emotional shifts that may appear in the first few weeks, we break down what the early TMS experience really looks like. We also discuss how clinicians monitor progress using tools like the PHQ-9, why immediate results are not always expected, and how TMS fits into a broader psychiatric treatment plan that may include therapy, medication, or ketamine-based treatments. Topics covered include: What the first TMS sessions feel like Common early side effects and adjustments Why some patients notice subtle changes first How depression symptoms are tracked during treatment Scientific outcome data from large TMS studies Why patience and consistency matter during the 4–6 week treatment process If you’ve been considering TMS therapy in Sacramento, Folsom, or Roseville, or simply want to better understand how modern depression treatment works, this episode offers a grounded, realistic look at the process. Zeam Health & Wellness offers TMS therapy, psychiatric care, therapy services, ketamine-assisted treatment, Spravato, and more.

  6. What Factors Lead to Changes in Depression Treatment Plans

    May 1

    What Factors Lead to Changes in Depression Treatment Plans

    Most people assume that once you start depression treatment, you stay on the same path until you feel better. In reality, mental health care doesn’t work that way. Treatment plans evolve—and that’s a good thing. In this episode, we break down why depression treatment plans change over time and what those changes actually mean. From lack of symptom improvement to medication side effects, shifting life circumstances, and patient preferences, there are many factors that influence how care is adjusted. We also dive into the science behind treatment-resistant depression, including insights from the STAR*D study, where only about 33% of patients reached remission after their first antidepressant. You’ll also learn why side effects impact up to 30–70% of patients, and how newer options like esketamine are changing the landscape, with clinical trials showing significantly higher remission rates compared to placebo. If your treatment plan has changed—or feels like it needs to—this episode will help you understand why that’s not a setback, but a sign of personalized, responsive care.

    Why Some Patients Delay Moving to Advanced Depression Treatment Options

    Why do so many people hesitate when it comes to advanced depression treatments like TMS, ketamine therapy, or Spravato? In this episode of More Than Medicine by Zeam Health, we explore the real reasons patients delay taking the next step in their mental health journey. From fear of the unknown and lingering stigma to treatment fatigue after trying multiple medications, this conversation breaks down what’s actually happening beneath the surface. We also look at the data behind treatment-resistant depression, including why nearly 1 in 5 patients don’t fully respond to standard treatments, and how real-world factors like time, cost, and insurance create additional barriers. Most importantly, we talk about how clinicians can guide patients through these decisions without pressure—helping them move forward at a pace that feels right. If you’ve been wondering whether advanced depression treatment is the right next step, or why it can feel so difficult to make that decision, this episode offers clarity, reassurance, and a more human perspective on the process.
