Depression is a complex and often debilitating condition that affects mood, energy levels, and overall well-being. It can interfere with daily functioning and make even simple tasks feel overwhelming. We provide a comprehensive approach to treating depression, combining both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic therapies to best meet your needs.
Pharmacologic treatments for depression may include antidepressant medications such as SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors), SNRIs (Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors), tricyclic antidepressants, or atypical antidepressants. These medications work by balancing chemicals in the brain that affect mood and emotions. Your provider will work closely with you to determine which medication is best suited to your unique needs and adjust the dosage as necessary.
Nonpharmacologic treatments may include psychotherapy approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), which focuses on improving relationships and social functioning. Mindfulness-based interventions and behavioral activation may also be effective, helping you develop healthier coping strategies and engage in activities that improve mood. We believe in collaborating with you to build a treatment plan that empowers you and supports long-term recovery.
