Depression Treatment in Lynn, MA
Depression is more than feeling sad. It can drain energy, change sleep and appetite, make concentrating difficult and take the enjoyment out of things that used to matter. The good news is that depression is highly treatable.
Psych Boston provides depression treatment for patients in Lynn, Massachusetts, from our office in Lexington and through secure telehealth. As the largest city on the North Shore, Lynn has a wide mix of families, students and working adults, and many prefer starting with a telehealth visit before an office appointment.
Depression treatment for Lynn patients: who it helps
People from Lynn come to us for depression treatment for many reasons, including:
- Major depressive disorder
- Persistent depressive disorder (long-lasting low mood)
- Depression after a loss, life change or major stress
- Postpartum and perinatal depression
- Depression that has not responded to past treatment
- Teens with depression affecting school or friendships
What to expect
- Comprehensive evaluation: We review symptoms, duration, past episodes, medical conditions, substance use and safety, and screen for bipolar disorder before choosing treatment.
- Treatment options: Plans may include antidepressant medication, therapy referrals, sleep and activity strategies and coordination with your primary care provider.
- Treatment-resistant depression: When first options have not worked, clinicians review dose, duration and alternatives, and discuss advanced options where appropriate.
- Ongoing care: Regular follow-ups track mood, side effects and functioning, and help prevent relapse.
