SOMA

A new approach to treatment-resistant depression

We recognize that there is currently a need for access to fast-acting and effective therapeutic interventions for patients with Treatment-Resistant Depression. An effective treatment requires an approach based on a complete assessment and a comprehensive therapeutic plan that includes pharmacological and non-pharmacological components, seeking an intervention based on a biopsychosocial model.

Over the last two decades, research into psychedelic drugs has been producing evidence that points to their effectiveness and safety in treating people diagnosed with Depression.

The medicine used in this treatment meets Level 1 of Scientific Evidence in the Treatment of Depression, being indicated in the most recent international treatment guidelines.
