Start with what life feels like now

How do mood, coping and behavior shape the recovery experience?

We help people with depression or anxiety that disrupts daily life by considering mental and physical symptoms together so that they can work toward participating in relationships and routines again.

How we look at the whole picture

You have tried to explain how difficult ordinary days have become, and you may have already tried more than one approach.

Sleep, concentration, energy and physical symptoms may be adding to what you are carrying.

You do not need to know which treatment to ask for. Start with what has changed and what you want to be able to do again.

The 7 Domains of Recovery™

Your symptoms may belong in the same conversation.

Psychological health is one of seven domains, not an isolated part of you. We consider how mood, cognition, sleep, physical symptoms and circumstances affect each other.

Neuregen's proprietary 7 Domains of Recovery framework organizes that conversation around seven connected parts of your life and health. We consider all seven, then focus the evaluation on the questions your history raises.

Explore our clinical framework

1Brain function & neural networks
What has changed in your memory, concentration, balance or sensory tolerance?
2Autonomic & nervous system regulation
What happens when you stand, move, rest or encounter stress?
3Immune function & neuroinflammation
What immune history, reactions or symptoms need a closer look?
4Brain energy & metabolic health
What affects your energy through the day and after activity?
5Structure, stability & body-to-brain signals
How do pain, posture, movement and stability affect what you can do?
6Psychological flexibility & behavioral recovery
How are mood, stress and patterns of coping affecting your day?
7Life, relationships & environment
What demands, relationships and support shape your recovery?

A plan starts with the things you want to do again.

We review your history, current symptoms, previous responses and priorities. You and the clinical team discuss the options, tradeoffs and how progress will be assessed.

01
Tell us what you want your life to look like
We start with what has changed, what you have tried, and the activities you most want to return to.
02
Answer the questions the history leaves open
We review prior reports and select relevant assessments. You should understand what each assessment is meant to clarify.
03
Agree on the priorities and the first steps
We discuss the findings, possible approaches, costs and practical constraints. The plan sets an order that fits your situation.
04
Check what changes and adjust together
We compare your response with the starting point, including daily function. If something is not helping, we discuss what needs to change.

Only then do we discuss which therapies, if any, belong in your plan. The choice depends on the findings, the evidence, your preferences and how you respond.

How Neuregen assesses and treats it

How we label evidence

Each grade describes the evidence for a particular treatment and use. It does not guarantee an outcome or establish regulatory approval.

Level 1
Evidence: Strong
Multiple high-quality studies consistently support meaningful benefit for this use. Results are unlikely to change substantially with additional research.
Level 2
Evidence: Moderate
Good clinical evidence supports benefit, but important uncertainty remains about magnitude, patient selection, long-term outcomes, or generalizability.
Level 3
Evidence: Emerging
Early clinical studies suggest potential benefit, but the evidence is not yet strong or consistent enough for confident conclusions.
Level 4
Evidence: Preliminary
Evidence is limited to small studies, case series, retrospective data, or indirect clinical evidence. Benefit remains uncertain.
Level 5
Evidence: Investigational
There is biological rationale or very early clinical evidence, but efficacy for this use has not been established.

Some care pages also use Established to describe an established clinical use. That label is not an automatic Level 1 or Level 2 rating; the strength of evidence must be reviewed for the specific indication.

Promising does not mean proven. Your clinician considers the indication, alternatives, risks and your circumstances before recommending care.

Limbic system retraining and threat-response override
Cognitive behavioral adaptation and emotional safety framing
Purpose-oriented behavioral activation
Sleep behavior optimization and biological rhythm retraining

Frequently asked questions

What is psychological flexibility, and why does it matter for recovery?

Psychological flexibility refers to the ability to adapt thoughts, emotions, and behaviors rather than be controlled by them. Chronic illness can train the brain into cycles of threat-expectation that reinforce symptoms over time.

What does Domain 6 address?

This domain explores emotional regulation, psychological flexibility, values alignment, and behavioral coping patterns, including how the nervous system has learned to respond to past threats.

What conditions are associated with this domain?

Domain 6 leads for PTSD and trauma-related dysregulation, alcohol use disorder and CNS recovery, and FND: the conditions where psychological flexibility is the central problem rather than a comorbidity, and where ketamine and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy fit most clearly. It also covers anxiety, depression, learned fear responses, sleep issues, symptom avoidance, and loss of agency.

What does recovery in this domain look like?

Recovery aims for rewired threat responses, genuine psychological flexibility, and purpose-driven daily actions.

How does Domain 6 connect to the others?

Psychological and behavioral patterns directly influence autonomic tone (Domain 2), brain function (Domain 1), and the social and environmental context (Domain 7). Progress in any one domain supports progress in the others.

Is care in this domain directed by our clinical team?

Yes. All care at Neuregen is directed by our clinical team, whose training spans psychiatry, functional neurology, and clinical trauma therapy. A Strategy Consultation is the first step.
