Interventional Psychiatry
Interventional psychiatry uses brain stimulation techniques to treat psychiatric conditions that haven’t improved with medication or therapy.

Why Choose Sutter?
Interventional psychiatry is a mental health specialty that uses electrical or magnetic stimulation along with some medications to alter brain circuitry. This can help provide relief for patients with severe mental health conditions and ease the symptoms of long-term depression, bipolar disorder and anxiety.
You may be a candidate for interventional psychiatry if medication and therapy have not helped you. Our skilled specialists use methods including electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and ketamine infusion therapy (KIT) to help reduce or reverse symptoms. A treatment plan will be personalized to your specific needs.
