We list here the names and contact information for some practitioners who may be able to help our patients who have problems often associated with mood disorders. Although we know these practitioners and feel that they are resources for our patients, they are independent from us and we cannot be responsible for the quality of their work.
Care Management and Intensive Support
We are often confronted with the dilemma of working with someone who would really benefit from our services but needs more support than we can provide. Up until now we have primarily relied on the excellent treatment offered by the Langley Porter Partial Hospitalization Program, but that program has its limits and we are very happy to say we have found another excellent service offered by Koved Care. This program provides intensive support and care management for private patients. They can provide up to and including 24 hour a day support for people who have very high needs for care but want to try to avoid hospitalization.
Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine
Well designed studies have found that acupuncture can be helpful in the treatment of chronic headache, backache, smoking cessation and may be helpful in the treatment of a single episode of depression.
