In the past 30 years medical science has discovered many of the causes and cures for clinical depression, anxiety disorders, ADD, obesity, and sleep disorders. All of these conditions involve problems with proteins called "neurotransmitters." These proteins are used by the brain to activate its many different circuits. There are probably over 300 different neurotransmitters in the human brain. So far, we have identified about 50.

Many illnesses are the result of mal-functioning of one or more of the neurotransmitters. The biochemical causes of these illnesses are now understood well enough that effective medications can reverse the biochemical problems and relieve the illness.

All of the medications we use in treating clinical depression, anxiety, ADD, obesity, and insomnia improve the functioning of the neurotransmitters. These medications are safe and non-addictive.

But at Tate Healthcare Specialists we don't just prescribe medications. Brief and quickly effective counseling techniques have been developed to help treat clinical depression, anxiety, ADD, obesity, and Alzheimers. These are counseling techniques that have been well researched and well proven in the medical literature. They are cost effective: results are seen quickly and the entire course of counseling is usually less than 20 sessions.

At Tate Healthcare Specialists our therapists are highly trained and skilled in these counseling techniques.

With the combination of modern medications and advanced counseling techniques 80% to 90% of our patients achieve near or total remission of their symptoms of clinical depression, ADD, anxiety, obesity, and insomnia.

Most health insurance will reimburse 50% to 80% of our fee. By the way, a recent health insurance audit showed our costs of care to be 35% less than similar specialists in Arkansas. I believe this is because we are dedicated to fast, accurate diagnosis and quickly effective care. This means that almost no one need suffer long term from these illnesses. Help is available to everyone.
