What is Stella’s Psychiatric Consultation?
Psychiatric consultation at Stella Israel goes beyond traditional evaluation. It is based on:
- A comprehensive clinical assessment.
- Tailored pharmacological treatment – minimal and carefully adjusted when necessary.
- Integration of the latest medical and psychiatric science, including neurobiology and psychopharmacology.
- Access to innovative interventions – when appropriate, patients can be referred to advanced treatments available at Stella Israel such as Ketamine therapy, Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB), and other emerging protocols. This allows us to design truly personalized care pathways that address each patient’s unique needs.
- Ongoing monitoring using standardized clinical questionnaires and structured follow-up.

How soon can a person expect to see an improvement in mood?
Is SGB also effective for Social Anxiety or Performance Anxiety?
When social anxiety or performance anxiety are accompanied by acute physical reactions (such as trembling, stuttering, or sweating), SGB can help moderate the physical response. When the body remains calm, the patient’s self-confidence increases, and they succeed in coping with the threatening situations more effectively.
