The Texas Center Wellness Approach To Mental Health
We recognize the complexity of mental health, which is shaped by various factors, and aim to deliver holistic care that addresses the entire individual. It's crucial for those facing mental health challenges to collaborate with professional healthcare providers capable of devising a customized, integrative plan suited to their unique circumstances.
At Texas Center Wellness, we adopt a holistic and integrative stance towards mental health care, acknowledging the intricate relationship between physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Here's an overview of our approach to supporting mental health:
Lifestyle Assessment
Our practitioners take a thorough look at a patient's physical health, lifestyle, emotional state, and environmental factors to identify potential contributors to mental health concerns.
Personalized Treatment Plans
We create individualized treatment plans that address the unique needs and preferences of each patient, acknowledging that mental health challenges are not one-size-fits-all.
Lifestyle Modification
We emphasize the importance of a balanced lifestyle, including exercise, nutrition, sleep, and stress management, to support mental well-being.
Environmental Considerations
We look to assess environmental factors like exposure to toxins and allergens that might impact mental health and offer strategies for reducing such exposures.
Support for Chronic Conditions
We assist patients in managing chronic conditions like pain, autoimmune disorders, and chronic fatigue, which can have profound effects on mental health.
Long-Term Wellness
Our focus is on building resilience and equipping patients with tools for ongoing mental well-being, rather than solely treating symptoms.

NAD+
NAD+ is an abbreviation for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, which serves as a coenzyme present in every living cell. This versatile molecule presents exciting prospects for emerging therapeutic applications, with research suggesting its potential to support mental well-being and address chronic brain-related conditions.

Ketamine Therapy
Ketamine therapy involves the use of the anesthetic drug ketamine for therapeutic purposes, including mental health and some chronic pain conditions. This approach is considered for individuals seeking alternatives after traditional treatments have been ineffective. Ketamine therapy has shown potential in easing symptoms of several specific health issues, these include:
Treatment-Resistant Depression: Ketamine has been researched for its rapid-acting antidepressant effects in individuals who have not responded to conventional antidepressants. [source]
Chronic Pain Syndromes: Studies have indicated ketamine's effectiveness in managing chronic pain conditions, such as neuropathic pain, by modulating pain pathways. [source]
Anxiety Disorders: Preliminary research suggests ketamine may have anxiolytic effects that could benefit individuals with anxiety disorders. [source]
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Some evidence supports ketamine's role in reducing symptoms of PTSD, offering a potential treatment avenue for those with this condition. [source]
Multiple Disorders (OCD, SUD, and ED): Early studies suggest ketamine might also have beneficial effects on different disorders and the corresponding symptoms in some patients. [source]
