Additionally, as part of Ochsner, our experts partner with other specialists who care for your overall well-being. From neurologists to cardiologists to primary care doctors, we ensure a smooth continuum of care.

Psychologists specialize in talk therapy. Psychiatrists, on the other hand, utilize medication and other treatment modalities to care for mental health issues.

As a full-service psychiatry and behavioral health program, Ochsner offers both. We also provide some hard-to-find services. Advanced care options we can provide include:

• Electroconvulsive therapy. Bipolar disorder and severe depression don’t always respond to traditional treatments. That’s when electroconvulsive therapy can help. For this therapy, you are given medicine to prevent you from feeling pain before brief electrical impulses stimulate your brain. This stimulation can reverse symptoms of your mental health condition. Treatment lasts five or 10 minutes.

• Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). When depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) does not improve with other treatments, TMS may help. During a therapy session, a specialized device creates brief electromagnetic pulses. These stimulate nerve cells in the brain that are the root of depression or OCD. The whole process is painless and conducted in the outpatient clinic setting with no anesthesia.
