Our approach to depression treatment
Depression is a real medical condition, not a personal failing, and most people improve with the right treatment. We provide thorough evaluation and medication management for major depression, persistent depressive disorder, and seasonal depression, adjusting carefully until we find what works for you.
If you have tried an antidepressant before and it did not help, that is useful information rather than a dead end. We review what was tried and adjust, because finding the right fit often takes a thoughtful second look.
Who this is for
You may benefit if you are…
- Teens and adults experiencing low mood, fatigue, or loss of interest
- People whose depression affects daily functioning
- Patients who haven't found relief with prior treatment
- Anyone seeking a careful, collaborative approach to medication
What to expect
Treatment begins with an evaluation of your symptoms, history, and goals, including sleep, energy, and physical conditions that can mimic or worsen depression. We coordinate with your therapist when talk therapy is part of the plan, and follow up closely early on.
Depression Treatment: common questions
- How do I know if it is depression or just a rough stretch?
- That is exactly what an evaluation is for. If low mood, loss of interest, fatigue, or hopelessness have lasted more than a couple of weeks or are affecting daily life, it is worth a conversation.
- What if antidepressants have not worked for me before?
- That happens, and it does not mean nothing will work. We review what was tried and at what dose, then adjust the approach. Finding the right fit often takes more than one attempt.
