The details
Salience Health uses psychiatry and primary care to diagnose and treat issues, such as depression and anxiety, to create a tailored, holistic plan for each person, said Je Ewing, the marking director for Salience.
She said the collaborative team consists of a psychiatrist, a primary care physician and a therapist who all work together to give a comprehensive diagnosis with an individualized health plan instead of a one-size-fits-all diagnosis.
“We'll get patients in and they'll complain of symptoms of depression, we look into it, and they really don't have depression. They have anxiety with the diagnosis of a vitamin D deficiency,” Ewing said as an example.
Salience also is known for its Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation therapy, or TMS, which is a treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain to treat depression. This treatment is used when more traditional avenues haven’t worked, Ewing said.=
The treatment is FDA approved and uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain that are associated with mood regulation, according to previous reporting.
Zooming in
Ewing said a new patient with Salience Health will give their information over the phone detailing what services they would like. They will work with a psychiatrist or primary care physician, depending on what issue they want to target, and then that person will be scheduled for an appointment, Ewing said.
They will come in for a psychiatric evaluation, which includes a patient health questionnaire, which will help determine if a patient needs to lean more into primary care treatment or psychiatric treatment, though both medical specialists will work together.
“It's an entire treatment plan, and it doesn't consist of one thing,” Ewing said. “It consists of many things to support you.”
Salience Health also has locations in Allen, Dallas, Frisco, McKinney and Plano, according to its website.
