Neuromodulation Techniques

At BetterPlace, we use neuroscientific interventions as a part of our integrated approach to mental health, ensuring each patient receives the most appropriate and effective psychiatry treatment services tailored to their unique condition and circumstances.

Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT): ECT provides relief to patients suffering from severe cases of depression and other psychiatric disorders when other treatments have not been effective. This technique provides rapid relief through controlled and therapeutically induced seizures.

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS): rTMS is a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique which uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain.

At BetterPlace, our state-of-the-art rTMS machine is integrated into our psychiatry treatment approach, providing non-invasive treatment for depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), substance use disorders, and treatment-resistant depression.

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS): tDCS is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique which modulates neuronal activity and treats conditions like depression, anxiety, and cognitive impairments. It involves delivering low electrical current to specific areas of the brain to stimulate and activate brain cells.

Neurofeedback: Neurofeedback is a brain training technique which helps patients biologically change how they think and feel. Neurofeedback helps patients monitor and modulate their brain’s reaction to various stimuli in real-time, to develop healthier patterns of brain activity. This technique is useful for the treatment of disorders such as ADHD and anxiety. At BetterPlace, we use specialised equipment to monitor brain waves and provide real-time feedback to alter patient behaviour as part of our comprehensive psychiatry services.

At BetterPlace, we use these neuroscientific interventions as a part of our integrated approach to mental health, ensuring each patient receives the most appropriate and effective psychiatry treatment services tailored to their unique condition and circumstances.

Psychological Interventions

We understand that mental health is deeply connected to thought patterns and emotional processes. Recognising this connection, we use the therapeutic potential of psychotherapy to modify brain function, alter neural connections and enhance brain plasticity.

We offer a wide range of comprehensive psychological interventions that are central to our treatment philosophy. Our therapists work closely with patients to explore and address underlying psychological issues, foster resilience, and promote long-term emotional health.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) : CBT is a form of psychotherapy Psychiatrists & Psychologists at BetterPlace commonly use for patients suffering from depression, anxiety, bipolar, Borderline personality disorder, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), phobias, various addictions, eating disorders, insomnia etc. This technique restructures a person’s current thinking patterns by challenging their thought processes and equips them with problem-solving skills to cope with difficult situations.

Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) : IPT is a talk therapy that Psychiatrists & Psychologists at BetterPlace use for patients suffering from eating disorders, social phobia, anxiety disorders and PTSD. This therapy focuses on a person’s interpersonal relationships by fostering effective communication and understanding relationship patterns.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) : It is a modified version of CBT that Psychiatrists & Psychologists at BetterPlace use for treating treatment-resistant depression, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) etc. It incorporates mindfulness techniques such as present moment awareness, meditation, muscle relaxation, breathing exercises and more as a means to ground the patient and help them be in tune with their surroundings.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) : It is a form of psychotherapy that Psychiatrists & Psychologists at BetterPlace use for patients suffering from generalised anxiety disorder, chronic depression, chronic pain, substance abuse and some other conditions. This therapy helps people accept their thoughts, feelings and emotions, and commit to actions that align with their long-term goals.

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) : Psychiatrists & Psychologists at BetterPlace leverage DBT in the treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder, eating disorders and substance use disorders. It teaches people how to live in the moment and find healthy ways to cope with stress, and other problems in life.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Problem-Solving Therapy (PST) : SFBT is a goal-oriented constructive psychotherapy that Psychiatrists & Psychologists at BetterPlace use for treating conditions such as addiction, child behavioural problems, and relationship problems. The SFBT helps the patient construct solutions to their problems by asking relevant questions, rather than focusing on the problem itself.

Psychodynamic therapy : Psychiatrists & Psychologists at BetterPlace use psychodynamic therapy to treat anxiety disorders, depression, eating disorders, personality disorders, PTSD etc., especially in those patients who have lost meaning in their lives. Psychodynamic therapy uses techniques such as free association, dream analysis and the Rorschach inkblot test to uncover the patient’s unconscious desires and past experiences that manifest as behavioural issues in the present.

Social Interventions : Social interventions in psychiatry aim to improve the patient’s social functioning and overall quality of life. An individual’s environment, relationships, and societal context can significantly impact their mental health. Psychiatrists & Psychologists at BetterPlace adopt a comprehensive view of mental health by incorporating social interventions into our treatment plans.

Psychoeducation: Educating patients and their families about mental health conditions, treatment options, and coping strategies.

Family Therapy: Involving family members in the treatment process to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and support the patient’s recovery.

Social Skills Training: Teaching patients how to interact more effectively with others, manage social situations, and improve their relationships.

Vocational Rehabilitation: Helping patients with mental health conditions to find and maintain employment.

Community Support Programs: Providing access to social services, support groups, and community resources to help patients reintegrate into society and maintain their mental health.

This biopsychosocial model of care ensures that Psychiatrists & Psychologists at BetterPlace treat each patient as a whole person, integrating the biological, psychological, and social dimensions of psychiatry treatment to deliver the most effective and compassionate care. We also address social determinants of health, such as stress and socioeconomic factors, which may contribute to or exacerbate mental health issues.

When your current therapy isn’t working : If you’ve been going to therapy for years but haven’t seen much improvement, it might be time to try a new psychiatrist.

When you’ve had a bad experience with psychiatric medication : Medication is a very complex science. Sometimes a psychiatrist’s treatment plan may not align with your specific needs. If you feel another psychiatrist might be able to prescribe you more appropriate medication, or if you simply want a second opinion about your current medication, don’t hesitate to explore other professional options.

When you feel something is wrong but don’t know what : Through assessments and expertise, psychiatrists help you diagnose the exact condition you are facing, its severity, and accordingly suggest the right treatment.
