Intranasal therapy is a novel treatment option for eligible patients with low mood, hopelessness, and feelings of despair, particularly when traditional methods have not been effective. Intranasal therapy involves delivering medication through the nasal passages, targeting specific neurotransmitters in the brain.
DVA patients may be eligible for full funding for this treatment, subject to DVA approval on a case-by-case basis.
However, this option may not be appropriate for everybody, so determining if you’re an eligible candidate is a critical step.
Eligibility Criteria
- Previous Treatment Experience: Suitable candidates are often those who have tried multiple conventional treatments without significant improvement. This therapy is typically considered when other options have not delivered the desired outcomes.
- Health Assessment: Your overall health, including any underlying medical conditions, will be evaluated to ensure you are fit for the treatment.
- Psychiatric Evaluation: A comprehensive assessment by a mental health professional is necessary to determine if this therapy aligns with your current needs and mental health status.
- Commitment to the Treatment Journey: Candidates must be prepared to engage in a structured treatment plan, which includes multiple sessions over several phases. This therapy is administered at our treatment centre in Sydney CBD.
