Sometimes what looks like a mental health struggle has deeper roots in the body. 🧠💙

This patient came to us struggling with feelings of dissociation — feeling detached, foggy, and not quite present. After further assessment, it turned out the underlying cause was glucose intolerance — a metabolic issue affecting blood sugar regulation.

When blood sugar is unstable, it can mimic or worsen mental health symptoms like:
💤 Insomnia
🌫️ Dissociation & brain fog
😞 Dysphoria or mood swings
💔 Sexual dysfunction

This is a powerful reminder that the mind and body are deeply connected — and understanding one often means exploring the other.

At Reconnect, we take a whole-person approach to care — because mental health isn’t just in your head. It’s in your whole system. 💫

💭 Courage isn’t always loud.
Sometimes it’s simply showing up for yourself again tomorrow — even when today felt heavy.

Intermittent theta-burst (iTBS) has changed the game for rTMS treatments as it can shorten the treatment time significantly (from 18 minutes to as short at 40 seconds). iTBS also enables us to do multiple treatments in one day, accelerating the treatment process.

By treating depression and anxiety, rTMS can help an individual respond more consciously when navigating life's challenges, instead of feeling like being at the mercy of them. This is because the treatments helps to restore balance in the brain by activating the prefrontal cortex (thinking brain), and shifting brain networks away from the limbic system (emotional brain).

"As a psychiatrist, my job isn’t to simply quiet your symptoms— but it’s for you and I to understand them- which can help inform your treatment plan. We need to start asking ourselves the questions "What is driving my symptoms?" "Are the symptoms a signal that something is out of alignment in my life either socially, behaviourally, biologically or spiritually?" " What might need to shift in my life?"

Sometimes your symptoms can become overwhelming and significantly impact your day-to-day functioning, and that’s where treatment comes in—to make life more manageable and to enable you to attend to what needs your attention. Our inner worlds can get messy, and it’s OK to need professional help in the process.

Symptoms and emotions can be distressing but aren’t the enemy—they can be useful signals and guides to live your best life. Instead of numbing or ignoring them, try getting curious and seek professional help if they are significantly impacting your life”

- Dr. Kent Comeau, MD, Psychiatrist, Reconnect Mental Health in Medicine Hat, AB. 💙✨

Studies show that the likely of responding to another anti-depressant decreases with every failed trial, as low as a 15% chance by the 4th trial.

rTMS has been extensively studied among patients with treatment resistant depression (TRD). In those patients, response and remission rates are 60% and 35% respectively (Response means a 50% reduction in depression scores, while remission means no longer meeting criteria for major depression)

rTMS is a non-invasive, safe and effective treatment for depression. If you or someone you know Is struggling with depression and have not responded adequately to treatment, rTMS may be a good option for you.
