Untreated stress is killing people.

And adds a substantial economic burden to our healthcare system.

Over the past three years, the United States Preventive Service Task Force, the leading medical body that informs America's primary care doctors, recommended a B Rating for Anxiety and Depression Screening for all Adolescents, Adults, and Postpartum Women. Despite this mandate, only 3% of undiagnosed adults are screened at Primary Care.

At Ceresant Solutions, our mission is to address the epidemic of untreated stress, just like cholesterol management prevents heart disease. We believe in the power of early intervention to maintain wellness and prevent severe mental health issues. Our platform equips primary care physicians with the tools they need to manage their patients' mental well-being proactively.

The Silent Killer

The APA reports each year that chronic stress affects 76% of Americans and which leads $300 billion in lost productivity each year in the U.S.

Stress is the new silent killer, leading to numerous health problems, including anxiety, depression, and suicide. In 2021 alone, 46,812 Americans lost their lives to suicide, with 60% of victims suffering from depression.

Our goal is to reverse these trends through early detection and automated continuous support.

Reducing Healthcare Costs

Imagine a healthcare system where preventive behavioral health reduces the need for expensive treatments and hospitalizations. Meet Susan, a 45-year-old working mother. Like many, Susan juggles multiple responsibilities, leading to chronic stress. By investing in our platform, payers and providers can help individuals like Susan manage stress before it escalates into managed mental health treatment. This proactive approach improves lives and significantly lowers long-term healthcare costs.

Compliance and Coverage

With recent United States Preventive Services Task Force recommendations for anxiety and depression screenings for all adolescents and adults, as well as postpartum women, our platform ensures these screenings are conducted efficiently. This helps payers comply with ACA mandates and supports proactive mental health care policies, ultimately leading to better overall health outcomes.

Providers

The Total Solution

Dr. Thompson, a dedicated primary care physician, faces the daily challenge of diagnosing and managing stress-related disorders in her patients. Traditional screening methods like the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 are too late, reactive, and create time-consuming follow-on appointments. Our platform combines known risk factors and self-reported symptoms, offering Dr. Thompson a proactive solution with automated treatment pathways. This allows her to intervene early and prevent more severe diagnoses, freeing up time and capacity for more complex patients.

Comprehensive Support

Imagine having a comprehensive toolkit to support your patients' mental health journey. Our platform provides everything from targeted treatments and active interventions to wellness activities. This ensures early intervention and continuous care, transforming the approach to mental health in primary care settings.

We've got a lot to say.
