Depression · Mood and anxiety

“I have already tried several antidepressants and I still don't feel well.”

When the first treatments have not worked, there are other options. We offer scientific, safe treatments, validated by several clinical studies, with psychiatric follow-up.

How you feel

More than sadness.

Depression affects energy, sleep, appetite, concentration and enjoyment of everyday activities. In some cases, the first treatments are not enough.

Treatment-resistant depression

When medication has not worked

Depression is described as treatment-resistant when at least two antidepressants, at adequate doses and for an adequate length of time, have not brought sufficient improvement.

It is a clinical criterion for reviewing the plan and considering other therapeutic options.

Depression is an illness. It can be diagnosed and it can be treated.

When to seek help

When it is worth booking an appointment.

  • Sadness or tiredness that has lasted for several weeks.
  • Loss of interest in things you used to enjoy.
  • Impact on sleep, work or family life.
  • Treatment already tried, without sufficient improvement.

How we assess

It always starts with a medical consultation.

Bring a list of the medicines you take or have taken and any clinical reports you have.

  1. NeuroCheck, free of charge

    An information session with our Patient Care. You learn about the treatment, the options and the fees.

  2. Medical consultation

    Review of your clinical history and previous treatments. At the TMS Assessment Consultation, the clinical director assesses eligibility for TMS.

  3. A clear plan

    You leave knowing what options you have, what each involves and how long they take.

  4. Follow-up

    You are followed by our clinical team, session after session.

Treatment options

What options are available.

  • Medication review: switching, dose adjustment or combination.
  • Psychotherapy, on its own or alongside medication.
  • ExoTMS®, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS): non-invasive, no anaesthesia and validated by clinical studies in depression.
  • Other treatments, discussed in a psychiatry consultation.

A clinical and therapeutic option when medication is not enough and side effects are hard to tolerate. Treatment depends on eligibility and a medical prescription, following the TMS Assessment Consultation.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask us about depression.

Do I need a referral from my doctor?

No. You can book directly. If you have reports or a letter from your doctor, bring them to the first appointment.

Do I have to stop the medication I take?

No. Do not stop or change your medication on your own. Any change is decided with your doctor.

Is TMS right for me?

Treatment depends on eligibility and a medical prescription. Eligibility is assessed by the clinical director, Dr. Bruno Gomes, at the TMS Assessment Consultation: review of tests and clinical history and screening for contraindications. If you have questions beforehand, start with NeuroCheck, free of charge.

What NeuroCheck involves
Can someone come with me?

Yes, to the TMS Assessment Consultation and to treatment sessions. In psychology appointments, having a companion present is not always possible, so as not to interfere with the therapeutic work. Check with the team when booking.

Is it confidential?

Yes. Your clinical information belongs to you and we only share it with your authorisation.
