Custom Treatment

Everyone experiences depression a bit differently.

At UI CDR, we develop treatment methods for the individual, not the disorder. To this aim, we explore a range of methods to meet and treat patients where they are at from alternative treatments to streamlining pathways, UI CDR is delivering tailored treatment to everyone we serve.

UI CDR uses imaging technology to distinguish PTSD from other illnesses, predict how well a patient will respond to certain medications, and guide physicians to the best pharmacological options. We develop mental health strategies for children that bring the clinic to the community and deliver behavioral interventions in everyday settings like schools, playgrounds, and home. We provide integrated models that provide screening and treatment for depression among pregnant and postpartum women seeking health care during their routine checkups.

To streamline this process for each individual in our care, UI CDR has established a symbiotic relationship between clinical practice and pioneering research. Our child and adolescent clinic influences renowned evidence-based treatment curriculums. Our Cognitive Behavioral Therapy program at the Adult Mood Disorders Clinic inspires apps, web-based treatment tools, and tablet interventions. Our research informs practice, our practice informs research and by integrating the two, we deliver research-informed, custom care.
