Justine Kovacs suffered from suicidal thoughts that persisted for decades despite exploring numerous treatment options.

After years of searching, she found a new path forward through Greenwich Hospital and its Interventional Psychiatry Services.

Ketamine (esketamine) therapy is an innovative option for patients with treatment‑resistant depression, and for Justine, it brought a renewed sense of hope and relief after a lifetime of struggle.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re reminding our community that help is available, and healing is possible.

An allergy diagnosis does not always mean it is forever.

As children grow, their immune systems are constantly learning and adapting. What may trigger a reaction at one stage can shift over time, sometimes becoming more manageable or even fading altogether.

At the same time, new environments and experiences can introduce different triggers, which is why symptoms may change as your child gets older.

Understanding that allergies can evolve helps take some of the uncertainty out of the process and allows for more flexible, informed care over time.
