Holistic means we take each client as a whole and view the problem set from the Bio-Psycho-Social parameters. We examine the Predisposing, Perpetuating and Precipitating factors and create a mental grid that would aid how to help our clients the most. For example, a person might resort to alcohol binge because of latent hereditary history but currently precipitated by job loss or family situation. That same person might have hypothyroidism that could be perpetuating his/her depression. Holistic assessment thus involves consideration of laboratory indices and physical disorders. That is why we encourage clients to visit their PCP regularly and forward laboratory results to the Executive Center since this may be of relevance to our input
There is no one-straight jacket fits all. There has to be a differential approach to psychopharmacological intervention. For example, a person with depression, lethargy, amotivation, sedation will not only benefit from checking the thyroid but benefit from selection of ‘stimulant’ form of antidepressant. However, if the symptom cascade is reversed especially with racing thoughts and insomnia, selecting a stimulating antidepressant may not be clinically judicious. These are just examples of how our providers approach making a diagnosis and selecting the appropriate treatment measures.
How do you differentiate Bipolar depression that needs a mood stabilizer from a unipolar depression that may not? What about Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) of Substance Use disorder? Dr Yemi’s Doctoral Thesis is on this topic. Buprenorphine, Vivitriol, Acamprosate, naltrexone, Chantix. How do you prescribe controlled drugs? Judiciously (taking into consideration the addictive effects), or just blanket prescription with multiple addictive medication combinations? Prescribers should not hide behind such indiscriminate dosing in lieu of proper listening and identifying what the key issues are and determining how to approach it. Talk to the patient. Walk them through your thought process in terms of medication selection. When making medication changes, ask yourself, why am I making these changes. Should I just add extra medications to the existing meds thus creating a polypharmacy situation, without seeing whether any of the existing ineffective meds can be discontinued?
Since the advent of Freud, this has been a pillar of psychiatric treatment.
Being British and American trained, our providers believe in the extra-significance of counseling and therapies. From the biopsychosocial viewpoint, therapy approaches could be problem solving, solution focused, psychodynamic or eclectic combinations of these interventions. Furthermore, we believe in more sophisticated therapies like Dialectic Behavior Therapy DBT), Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET), Cognitive behavioral Therapy (CBT) including CBTi for Insomnia. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a form of psychotherapy developed by Francine Shapiro that aids in the conversion of distressing iconic memories to relatively more easily extinguishable echoic memory. We do provide or offer referral resources for all the above forms of psychotherapy interventions
Genetic Testing: While this cannot be substituted for clinical evaluation and medication selection, they could be a valuable tool in treatment resistant cases. Pharmacogenomics looks for genetic variations that may affect differential activation or deactivation of medications. These tests may help prescribers in choosing the safest and most effective medication and medication combinations. Please note that pharmacogenomics does not substitute for clinical judgment and formulations. If this option is needed, resources for pharmacogenomic labs will be provided and patient and the lab will negotiate insurance authorization for such services. We will peruse the result and in conjunction with the patient select the most appropriate psychopharmacological agent (s)
Dr Adetunji is well versed in the use of this adjunctive intervention for treatment resistant depression. While the procedure is NOT currently available at the Executive Center, referral resources can be provided for clients for whom it may be beneficial. The procedure is non-invasive and utilizes magnetic fields to stimulate cerebral neurons to produce valuable neurotransmitters to improve depressive symptomatologies. It is called ‘Repetitive’ because it involves using an electromagnetic coil to deliver repetitive magnetic pulses around the motor area of the brain. While rTMS is covered by many commercial insurance companies, providers and clients must secure prior authorization for the funding. Copays and Deductibles may apply. We do have collaborative referral to a major rTMS center in New Jersey
