Psych Boston · Serving Quincy & Norfolk County
Depression Treatment in Quincy, MA
If you have felt down, empty or unmotivated for two weeks or longer, it may be depression — and it is worth getting help. Psychiatric depression treatment starts with understanding your symptoms and builds a plan around your goals.
Psych Boston provides depression treatment for patients in Quincy, Massachusetts, from our office in Lexington and through secure telehealth. Because the trip from the South Shore to Lexington can be long at rush hour, many Quincy patients rely mostly on telehealth, with office visits scheduled when an in-person assessment is clinically useful.
Depression treatment for Quincy patients: who it helps
People from Quincy 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.
