Psychiatrist supervised flow tDCS (transcranial Direct Current Stimulation) treatmentTranscranial Direct Current Stimulation is a type of neuromodulation treatment which is NICE accredited for treating Depression. In this treatment, a gentle 2mA electric current is delivered through a headset to stimulate the part of the brain which is known to be responsible for emotional regulation, and is hypoactive in people with depression. This device is safe and available for purchase over the counter for patients to use at home independently in the UK.

ADHD in AdultsAttention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a developmental disorder of childhood which can often persist into adulthood. It can manifest itself by causing problems in one's ability to focus, pay attention to detail and complete tasks, organise oneself or remain patient in situations which demand patience. If these issues are causing concern in your everyday life, you may have ADHD in Adulthood and the results of treatment can be life-changing. ADHD can sometimes be complicated by other mental health difficulties like Anxiety and Depression, Personality Disorders or Bipolar Illness. To find out if you may need help with ADHD, please book a Consultation.
-
Autism AssessmentIf you suspect you may have an Autistic Spectrum Disorder you can book an assessment with our Psychiatrist at Atrom Mindcare and we will do our best to help. High Functioning Autism also known as Asperger’s syndrome is a Neurodiversity. People with Asperger’s have a brain that works differently and whilst there is no treatment required, they can better adapt in the world we live in through social skills training and choosing a career suited to their neurodiversity. Due to the hardships people with undiagnosed Autism often have to undergo, they can often have comorbidities like Anxiety and Depression or other Mental Health conditions which can be treated.
-
Anxiety and DepressionDepression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Inevitable life changes sometimes worsen these. When these emotions become severe, they interfere with relationships, leisure, work and life in general. Through treatment, you can recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life. Please book a Consultation if you think you need help with this.
-
OCD, Trauma, PTSD and PhobiasIntrusive thoughts, repetitive behaviours; extreme fear in certain situations, preventing everyday life activities or traumatic life experiences leading to emotional & functional difficulties can all be uncomfortable experiences. Therapy can be highly effective in combination with medication, in moderate and severe situations. Please book a Consultation if you require help with these conditions.
-
Personality DisordersBeing abused or witnessing abuse, being bullied, lack of supportive parenting and other traumatic experiences whilst growing up can impact one's life-long ability to trust other people, form confiding relationships and the ability to cope normally in times of stress. Some conduct difficulties experienced in childhood can be pervasive into adulthood and impact all aspects of life and normal functioning. Some people with Personality Disorders are more vulnerable to developing other complex mental health problems like Addictions, Depression and Psychosis.
-
Bipolar Affective DisorderIn recent years, the diagnosis of Bipolar Illness has received increased media attention due to various celebrities having suffered from it. The condition is characterised by severe prolonged mood swings accompanied by sleep disturbances and uncharacteristic thoughts and behaviours. Treatment with Mood-Stabilising Medication is very effective.
-
Psychotic Illnesses / SchizophreniaAbout 1% of us are prone to developing a Psychotic illness in times of stress, due to illicit drug use, infection or injury or sometimes, even without a trigger. When this happens, one maynot see a need to wash and dress appropriately, one loses touch with reality and can have beliefs which seem bizarre to others or experience hearing, seeing, smelling or feeling things that other people are unable to experience. This can lead to difficulty functioning. Holistic treatment is very effective.
-
Alcohol and Substance Misuse DisordersSome of us are prone to excessive use of Alcohol and before we realise, it takes control of our lives. Recreational illicit drug use can sometimes be a slippery slope leading to a range of life complications and harmful effects on physical and mental health. If you think that you may need help with similar issues, please book a Consultation.

Medical Cannabis and Psychogenetic TestingDr Desai-Gupta is able to assess for suitability for Medical Cannabis, which is a Controlled Drug in the UK. Whilst it is licensed for use in certain conditions, it's use for Anxiety is off-license. Following a comprehensive assessment and risk assessment and a detailed history regarding substance misuse, in some patients where it is felt that Medical Cannabis would be beneficial to their mental health and the benefits outweigh the risks, Dr Desai-Gupta is able to facilitate prescriptions for Medical Cannabis. Dr Desai-Gupta offers Psychogenetic testing to patients, where relevant, to identify the Psychotropic medication which is most suited to your genetic make-up, so as to maximise effectiveness and minimise side-effects.

Stages of Treatment for Deep rTMS Therapy
Suitability Assessment
If referred to Atrom Mindcare for Deep rTMS therapy you will initially have a 60-90minute assessment with our Consultant Psychiatrist*. He/She will ask you questions about your illness to confirm your diagnosis and conduct a risk assessment for your suitability for treatment with Deep rTMS. He/she will ensure that the treatment plan is tailored to your brain. She will then discuss the treatment process, your individual risks, effects, side-effects of treatment in detail with you and answer any questions that you may have before progressing onto treatment sessions.
If you are already seeing our Consultant Psychiatrist for your mental health problem and it is felt that Deep rTMS is the appropriate treatment for you, the treatment will be discussed with you and a risk assessment for rTMS will be conducted during your General Psychiatric Assessment or Follow up appointment.
The Deep rTMS Treatment may be right for you if :
-
you have a current diagnosis of depression (with or without anxiety symptoms).
-
you have been on antidepressant medications during the current depressive episode without sufficient benefit or with intolerable side effects.
-
you have attempted psychotherapy during the current depressive episode without sufficient benefit.
-
you have no history of or recent episodes of seizures, no implanted metal or electronic devices in or around thehead (dental work is fine).
* If you are referred to Atrom Mindcare by your Consultant Psychiatrist, he/she will be responsible for your overall Mental Health care, and they will have confirmed your diagnosis and assessed your suitability for TMS. We will require a letter/ report from them to confirm this. Consultation with our Consultant Psychiatrist will, in this case be of 30mins duration and entail a risk assessment and a TMS prescription tailored to your needs.
Treatment Course for Depression
Deep TMS sessions for depression last approximately 20 minutes, as opposed to 40-minute standard rTMS sessions. Alternatively, a 3-min intermittent theta burst (iTBS) session is also available. A Deep TMS treatment plan usually requires daily sessions over four weeks, followed by periodic maintenance sessions.
The following graphic details Deep TMS’s treatment protocol, with its Acute and Continuation phases:
Treatment Course for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Deep TMS sessions for OCD treatment involve a brief personalized provocation, or exposure, to activate the relevant areas of the brain, followed by an 18-minute TMS treatment. A full course of Deep rTMS OCD treausually requires daily sessions over a six-week period.
