Treatment Resistant Depression in Kenosha: Advanced Therapies That Offer Hope

Millions of Americans have found relief from depression with medications like Prozac and Zoloft since their approval in the 1980s and 1990s. However, not everyone responds to these standard treatments. If you've tried two or more antidepressants without improvement, and even therapy hasn’t made a difference, you may be experiencing what is known as treatment resistant depression (TRD).

At A Ray of Hope in Kenosha, Wisconsin, we specialize in helping patients who haven't had success with traditional methods. We proudly offer transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and Spravato—innovative treatments that offer new hope to those who feel like they’ve run out of options.

What Is Treatment Resistant Depression?

TRD is defined as depression that doesn’t improve after trying at least two different antidepressants at the right dose and duration. This condition can be frustrating and isolating, but it’s not uncommon. Research published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry estimates that roughly 30% of people with major depressive disorder fall into this category (source).

The good news is that new solutions are available—and they work differently than standard medications.

TMS and Spravato: Innovative Solutions in Kenosha

Our Kenosha office is equipped to offer two of the most effective and modern treatments for TRD:

• TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a non-invasive therapy that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate parts of the brain involved in mood regulation. It's FDA-approved, does not require anesthesia, and has minimal side effects.

• Spravato (esketamine) is a nasal spray that works on different brain receptors than traditional antidepressants. It’s administered under medical supervision and has been shown to provide relief when other medications have failed.
