Interventional psychiatry is a mental health specialty that uses electrical or magnetic stimulation, as well as some drug treatments, to alter brain circuitry and subsequently ease the symptoms of long-term depression, bipolar disorder and anxiety disorders.
You may be a candidate for interventional psychiatry if medication and therapy have not helped you.
Currently, electroconvulsive therapy is offered at all Sutter behavioral health centers, while other interventional psychiatry procedures are offered at the Sutter Center for Psychiatry in Sacramento.
