Acacia Clinics

We’re proud to share our Co-Founder, Dr. David Carreon, recently co-authored a pivotal study published in Nature Neuroscience, unveiling a new frontier in treating PTSD in veterans. This study, involving data from 193 Vietnam veterans with traumatic brain injuries, pinpoints damage to specific brain areas connected to the amygdala—the brain’s “fear center”—as a natural defense against PTSD. By mapping these lesions to a precise brain circuit, the research opens new doors for targeted treatments using non-invasive brain stimulation like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). 🧠 "For the first time, we’re not just guessing," says Dr. Carreon. "We’re on the brink of a new era in psychiatry where treatments are based on a clear understanding of brain science." Dr. Shan Siddiqi, lead author and Acacia Clinics affiliate, shares the excitement: "PTSD is a real brain disease, and now we can localize it to specific circuits." 📽️ Discover more about this research and its impact on the future of PTSD treatment—watch the video here: https://lnkd.in/gm6PPyyP #ptsd #ptsdtreatment #veterans #interventionalbrainmedicine

Last week, our Chief Medical Officer and Medical Director, Noah DeGaetano, MD, had the honor of speaking at the Concierge Medicine Forum in Atlanta, GA. This incredible event brought together forward-thinking healthcare professionals who are committed to redefining the future of medicine. Dr. DeGaetano shared a presentation on the emerging field of Interventional Brain Medicine, exploring its recent developments, future trajectory, and the transformative hope it offers to patients battling treatment-resistant conditions. The Concierge Medicine Forum empowers healthcare leaders to embrace entrepreneurship, innovate within their specialties, and create positive change in the communities they serve. We are proud of Dr. DeGaetano’s contributions to this mission and for representing Acacia Clinics on such an important platform.
