Novus Neuro - Helen Keller Boulevard

Addressing the connection between neurological symptoms and mental health, Novus Neuro on Helen Keller Boulevard in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, combines psychiatric medication management, neurological treatment, and neuropsychological testing. Their psychiatrist treats depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Their neurologist manages seizures, movement and memory disorders, head and neck pain, and post-stroke symptoms. Providers review symptoms and treatment history before prescribing, then monitor medication response and side effects during follow-up visits.

Deep TMS and Spravato

When antidepressants have not provided sufficient relief, clinicians evaluate patients for transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) or Spravato. BrainsWay Deep TMS delivers magnetic pulses during approximately 20-minute sessions, 5 days weekly for 6 to 8 weeks. Clinicians also use TMS for OCD and smoking addiction. For adults with treatment-resistant depression, they supervise Spravato nasal spray administration and monitor patients for approximately 2 hours afterward. Patients arrange transportation home following Spravato sessions.

Testing for Learning and Cognition

Their neuropsychologist evaluates children, adolescents, and adults for ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, and processing difficulties, and conducts IQ testing. Assessments combine interviews, standardized tests, and history reviews. During ADHD evaluations, the neuropsychologist also checks for anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders that can resemble attention problems. Written reports explain findings and recommendations, including school or workplace accommodations, therapy referrals, or coordination with other providers when appropriate.
