The Meehl Foundation Offers Two SPECT Image Scholarships This Holiday Season
HOUSTON, Nov. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Depression can be gradual until it becomes suicidal ideation with a plan. This can happen in days or months until we no longer have the spark of hope that sustains us. Since the tragic death of Robin Williams, everyone has been talking about the importance of treating Depression. Depression is a thief in the night that steals our loved ones from us. Depression is treatable with great results, but you have to know what area of the brain has the depression. Not every brain needs an SSRI or even responds to an SSRI.

The Meehl Foundation operates the Meehl House, a residential treatment facility for Depression, Bipolar Disorder Treatment and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) Treatment. The Meehl Foundation will be offering two SPECT Image scholarships to pay it forward this holiday season through December 31, 2014 with a 90-day residential stay.
The Meehl House is a wholistic healing center serving a resident's mind, body and spirit. People with Depression can experience intense anger, agitation, become demanding and critical with sleeplessness or lack of motivation. Many people face problems in their life, the ones that put them under severe stress, tension and worry and that led them do things that are irrational and crisis generating. During a 90-day stay, residents will participate in 5 hours of group a day, 2 hours of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and between 7 and 7 1/2 hours of DBT skills training per week. Psychiatric visits, psychological testing and assessments, biofeedback, and clinical hypnosis are integrated elements of treatment.
Meehl House currently offers the only transitional residential home specializing in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy that is an "Amen Brain Healthy Treatment Program" for clients with Depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, with or without substance abuse. During a stay at the Meehl House, residents learn to effectively manage all areas of their lives in order to return home with the ability to productively engage in career and financial decisions, cultivate and grow friendships and family relationships, and use effective coping strategies for daily life with Depression.
All too often, patients in severe distress see suicide as the only means to end their pain. The Meehl Foundation's mission is to provide effective services for those patients, believing suicide is never an option. Depression is treatable with the correct medication, therapy and supplements. Never, never give up.
