CONDITIONS TREATED - Depression

Periods of sadness, grief, and emotional turmoil are a normal part of human life, but depression is a different experience. It is a serious medical condition in which sadness can become overwhelming and cause a lack of interest in everyday activities. For individuals who suffer from chronic depression, the symptoms can last for months on end and affect their family and work life.

Fortunately, depression is also treatable.

Psychiatrists are medical doctors (MDs) who are trained to assess, diagnose, and treat mental health struggles like depression.

They can prescribe medications such as antidepressants, or use a non-invasive treatment without medication like TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation). When needed, psychiatrists will give referrals to therapists for psychotherapy.

Dr. O’Brien has over a decade of psychiatric clinical practice, helping patients return to a normal, fulfilling life.

FIRST STEP:

Psychiatric Evaluation

The first step is a comprehensive evaluation.

Dr. O’Brien provides non-judgmental consultations for new adult patients, finding out what their goals are and exploring all of the potential medical and neurological factors that might cause depression symptoms. After gathering all necessary information, he creates a custom-tailored treatment plan and ongoing support.
