Reichbach Center Says “There Is Help for You” During National Suicide Prevention Month

Reichbach Center, a national center for the treatment of chronic pain and mental health disorders, aligns with the National Alliance on Mental Illness in their mission to raise awareness about seeking assistance for individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts. There are interventions and support to help with these thoughts. Those seeking treatment for mental health needs and caregivers are encouraged to call 941-213-4444 to learn about their options or be seen at 2415 University Parkway, Building 3, Suite 215. Anyone in crisis is encouraged to dial 988 to call the national 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for immediate help with difficult or suicidal thoughts.

Various forms of depression and anxiety can be incapacitating, with some forms being less apparent than others. One common form of anxiety that drives depression is a pervasive phenomenon known as impostor syndrome. Despite one’s competence in their field or position, a number of social and psychological factors can contribute to impostor syndrome and create a different experience of reality that causes self-doubt and significant stress. Those who have common symptoms of this syndrome may begin to experience high levels of anxiety that they are unwilling or unable to recognize due to their general mental state. 

Achieving mental health improvements often involves a combination of therapy, lifestyle adjustments and medications. However, some individuals may experience treatment-resistant conditions where conventional approaches fall short in alleviating symptoms. In such cases, hope is offered through newer treatments, and one such specialized avenue at Reichbach Center is ketamine therapy. It is providing promising results and renewed optimism for those seeking relief from their mental health challenges.

Ketamine infusion has been shown to provide sustained improvement in adults experiencing:

  • Depression, including unipolar depression (major depression), bipolar depression and postpartum depression.
  • Anxiety and anxiety disorders.
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder.
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder.
  • Suicidal ideation.

“We take pride in offering a fresh avenue of hope to our patients at Reichbach Center, allowing them to find solace from various mood disorders and bring transformative changes to their lives,” said Reichbach Center President and Founder Dr. Steven Reichbach. “We firmly believe in making relief accessible to all, and through the right resources, we are committed to assisting families and their loved ones in navigating challenging emotions and thoughts.”

Dr. Reichbach is a graduate of the State University of New York Upstate Medical University.

Dr. Reichbach has been board-certified in anesthesiology since 1994, and he has worked with ketamine for more than 20 years. Before moving to Sarasota in 2015, he practiced as a partner with an anesthesiology group in New York for nearly two decades.
