Most people who are struggling with depression or anxiety have already tried the medication. They've already done the therapy. And they're still not better โ€” not because they're not trying, but because something biological is being missed. This episode could be the turning point you've been waiting for. Host Stacey Chillemi sits down with Dr. Doreen Zarfati, board-certified psychiatrist and Chief Medical Officer of Fountain Health, to have the conversation most doctors never make time for. You'll learn: ๐Ÿงฌ Why mental health is a biological condition your body is signaling right now ๐Ÿฉธ What a deeper blood panel reveals that standard labs completely miss ๐Ÿ”ฅ How inflammation, cortisol & hormones are secretly driving your symptoms ๐Ÿ’Š What ketamine therapy actually does in the brain โ€” and whether it's right for you ๐Ÿ“Š Why the standard 15-minute psychiatric appointment is setting you up to fail ๐Ÿ” How biology-first, continuous care produces outcomes that episodic treatment never will If you've ever felt like nothing is working โ€” this episode gives you a new place to start. ๐ŸŒ fountainnyc.com ๐Ÿ“ธ @fountainnyc ๐Ÿ“ž 917-886-7376 โ€” Free 15-min consultation available Learn more about your ad choices.
