Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment for depression. It uses magnetic pulses to stimulate a mood center of the brain, increasing activity in this area and providing lasting relief. Remarkably, it has been reliably shown to help people with treatment-resistant depression- those that have not found success from traditional therapies such as antidepressants.

Ketamine is a novel treatment option for people who traditional treatments for depression such as antidepressants or psychotherapy have been ineffective. When administered at low doses, ketamine has been reliably shown to be effective at alleviating symptoms of depression.
Furthermore, ketamine is fast-acting - studies have shown patients that respond can feel better in just 1-2 treatments, compared to antidepressants which can take 4 or more weeks to start working.Dr. Fruitman and the staff at South Shore Neuropsychiatric Center are experienced in ketamine administration, and are committed to working with you to find a treatment that provides lasting relief.

I have been seeing Dr. Fruitman since 2004 he has been the first educated, knowledgeable Dr. I've ever seen. I've seen others due to me moving but I'm going to travel 57 miles to go get answers from a Psychiatrist who cares, listens and treats correctly. I will be seeing him for the first time since 2017. I'm going through a lot but I'm in high spirits since I know I m going to get answers.

I called this mental health care professionals office ro ask about services and fees. I found his name and credentials and services on his website. I wouldn't be calling a board certified psychiatrist office during a pandemic if I didn't have serious health concerns. Well I barely got 2 words out of mouth and the uncaring, rude unkind voice on the other end left me speechless and I hung up. This is not a complaint about the dr whom I never spoke to but on the contrary .please tell your staff to be more courteous to potential clients that call your office. Thank you
