Two Locations in North Carolina and State-Wide Telehealth Services
IV Ketamine Treatment AND Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
These two treatments have risen to show their effectiveness over recent years, and literature is showing them to be among the most effective treatments for many psychiatric disorders.
Ketamine has shown itself to be particularly effective with treatment-resistant depression or TRD, post-traumatic-stress-disorder or PTSD, social anxiety, and suicidal ideation. Provided in a series of infusions, or oral or nasal spray, ketamine brings a dramatic difference the first infusion in some, but more often the change is experienced during and after the third, fourth, or fifth infusion.
TMS is a non-medication and non-invasive treatment that requires placement of a magnetic coil over the left dorsolateral prefontal cortex daily for about 20 minutes at a time. This continues daily for about 30-45 days. But you can begin to experience a real difference in 14 days. TMS can be effective in treatment resistant depression and other mood disorders.

MEET DR. RESHMI SARANGA
Leads the Ketamine Department
"I’m Dr. Reshmi Saranga, President and Owner of North Carolina Interventional Neurotherapy, and I can help you experience freedom from overwhelming emotions that make your life difficult to enjoy. My heart aches for what you go through, and I’ll show you the same compassionate and attention care I show my own family.
I’m board-certified in adult and geriatric psychiatry. After initial training in India, I completed a four year residency at University of Kansas Medical Center, then completed a fellowship in geriatric psychiatry at Duke University Medical Center.
I’ve served in the capacity of Chief Resident and on the Committee on Residency and Fellowship with the American Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology.
You need a psychiatrist who has the education, experiences, and expertise to provide the very best, up-to-date, and compassionate treatment. I chose this training path to provide the most insightful care possible for my patients. I also speak three languages to serve my patients more effectively: English, Hindi, and Telugu.
Empathetic and compassionate care are an integral part of our practice, and it’s extended not only to our family and friends but to our patients, most of all.

WHY OPEN THE NC INSTITUTE OF ADVANCED NEUROHEALTH?
As Dr. Saranga worked 10 years as a psychiatrist with his patients, he’s been distressed by the
percentage of them who did not respond to traditional antidepressants and anxiolytics. He
researched and scrutinized to find treatments that would bring relief to that segment of his
practice. His determination to find help for these patients eventually led to his opening:
