He recently wrote and edited “Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: Clinical Applications for Psychiatric Practice”, a book with key research findings on TMS as well as its potential to be used for other conditions such as OCD, PTSD, Adolescent Depression and mild dementia. He is experienced in treating patients with MDD (Major Depressive Disorder), including Unipolar Depression.

Dr. Majumdar is a psychiatrist, Board-Certified in Psychiatry as well as in Addiction Medicine, who believes in holistic treatment. He creates personalized treatment plans with each patient, drawing on his expertise and their life experience to help them improve their mental, physical, and social health.

He realized the importance of mental health at a very early age. As a child, his father required a heart bypass and due to complications, there was a concern his father might not wake with his brain fully functioning. In that moment, it was clear to him that as important as overall health is, the health and sharpness of your mind really defines your life. He found this to be even more evident in medical school, where he witnessed people with grave physical struggles continue to do well by finding and maintaining overall contentment with their lives.

Dr. Majumdar works with patients who may be experiencing clinical depression or other psychiatric disorders. He loves hearing people’s life stories and helping them untangle their past and present. He appreciates patients that embrace a shared responsibility with him to improve their lives. With his experience in diagnosis and treatment, he can help them learn more about themselves and how to assist in their own recovery.

He considers Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to be at the forefront of neurological and psychiatric treatment, which he uses to stimulate the brain in a specific area to improve symptoms of depression. He looks forward to watching TMS grow in its ability to treat other conditions as other areas of the brain are carefully mapped.

He joined Mindful Health Solutions in the Summer of 2018.

Dr. Nugent is a Psychiatrist who specializes in helping patients with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mood disorders. He is particularly interested in the effects of traumatic experiences, especially in childhood, on people’s current struggles. He believes that leaving this aspect unaddressed will almost certainly prevent full recovery from psychic suffering and achieving a life that is fulfilling and meaningful.

He has always been fascinated with the mind and how its complexities shape our behavior. This fascination was deepened in medical school through studying the function of the brain and realizing that there is still so much to learn. He then worked in various clinical settings helping patients with severe mental illness and saw how critical mental health is to overall well being. This all led him to psychiatry.

He believes each person’s story is unique and therefore, despite mental illnesses having certain names, each person experiences them differently and should be treated with this in mind. He strives to be collaborative, empowering his patients to shape their treatment with his advice. He also highly encourages his patients to be proactive in their treatment, as this leads to more lasting recovery and creates a sense of self-efficacy and resilience.

Dr. Nugent believes Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) has great potential for treating many common ailments, such as depression and anxiety. It is minimally invasive and, in contrast to medications, often completely free of side effects. Esketamine nasal spray has immediate proven benefits for severe depression and, when combined with explorative therapy, has the potential to greatly enhance insights and progress towards lasting mental health.

Dr. Vidrine is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist who specializes in treating patients with OCD, Body Dysmorphia, and related Anxiety Disorders. He has always found himself fascinated by the neuroscience of how experience and relationship attachment lead people to become who they are, living how they live, as a product of both their biology and the multitude of experiences (good and bad) that they have accumulated. This passion for understanding both the science and the human experience is what led him to psychiatry, with a particular interest in the field of Interventional Psychiatry and Neuromodulation.

He sees the field of Interventional Psychiatry (including treatments like ECT, TMS, esketamine nasal spray, and deep brain stimulation) as an important sub-specialty offering novel approaches to treating a variety of psychological disorders. He was initially intrigued by TMS because it is one of the most accessible forms of precision, circuit-based clinical treatment that can be offered in psychiatry. Similarly, he has an interest in the future use of psychedelic and plant medicines as aids in coping with the human experience and increasing cognitive flexibility in a number of mental health conditions.

He provides consultations, medication management, and neuromodulation treatments including Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and esketamine nasal spray for patients whose symptoms have not completely resolved with therapy and medication. He is particularly experienced with using TMS to treat OCD and a strong proponent for using this intervention to augment Exposure-Response Prevention therapy. Dr. Vidrine approaches all of his patient encounters from the perspective of providing treatment in the interest of getting people to connect with and move closer to their values and incorporates various disciplines including ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ERP (Exposure and Response Therapy), Mindfulness, and the latest evidence in pharmacology, neuroscience, and neuromodulation.

He joined Mindful Health Solutions in August of 2017.
