If depression continues to affect your day-to-day life, treatment options are available.

WIth the recent Kratom (7OH) ban in Ohio effective as of 12/16/2025, we wanted to share some information on what Kratom is and the issues with withdrawal it can cause. If you or someone you know is actively using this substance and find yourself in withdrawal and need, we can help. We have already worked with numerous patients in this area and are available to help you. Call today if you have questions or need help.

“Kratom” commonly refers to an herbal substance that can produce opioid- and stimulant-like effects. Kratom and kratom-based products are currently legal and accessible in many areas.

Healing often shows up in small moments, like a laugh, a quiet morning, a renewed sense of presence. ✨

NeuroStar helps people reconnect with what matters most, one moment at a time. If depression has dimmed those feelings, know that relief is possible.

Schedule a consultation today to learn more about NeuroStar.
