Depression

Depression is a common mental health condition caused by a combination of genetic, biological, psychological, and social factors. While there are traditional treatment options, many can be ineffective, cause significant side effects, or require a significant time commitment.

Psychotherapy is beneficial but can take months to years to work through psychological issues. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has been used to combat treatment-resistant depression but it is considered barbaric by some and can lead to memory impairment. In addition, some patients are placed on multiple psychiatric medications leading to drug interactions and unwanted side effects.
