Spruce Psychiatric Associates

Today at Spruce, Dr. Ileana Calinoiu, MD from Pathlight Mood & Anxiety Center joined us to discuss ADHD and eating disorders. It’s inspiring to hear experts use Health at Every Size (HAES) principles and inclusive language when addressing the needs of neurodiverse individuals. This session was a powerful reminder of the impact we can have as providers and educators in our community. Language matters, and today we were actively reminded of its importance.

Have you ever asked yourself the question, "What do I do if medication is not enough?" It's a question many people find themselves asking with Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD), and we at Spruce know all too well just how confusing and hopeless it can feel for our patients to navigate. In this blog, we are partnering with our sister company, Clear Path Psychiatry, to talk through interventional psychiatry methods, in particular Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). We are lucky to have providers that work for both Spruce and Clear Path, allowing for a smoother, in-house approach to a patient's psychiatric needs. Find the blog at the link below, and share with someone who you think could find this science interesting! ?? ?? https://lnkd.in/gfAPDx-b #Psychiatry?#tmstherapy?#seattlementalhealth?#sprucepsychiatric?#clearpathpsychiatry?#mentalhealthawareness?#mentalhealthtips
