Depression Treatment FAQs

Common questions about diagnosis, treatment options, and recovery timelines

Depression typically lasts longer than normal sadness and interferes with daily life. If you've felt persistently down, lost interest in activities you used to enjoy, experienced changes in sleep or appetite, or struggled with feelings of worthlessness for more than two weeks, it's time to get evaluated. Even if you're unsure, it's worth coming in—we'll help you figure out what's going on.

Not necessarily. Some people need medication short-term to get through a difficult period, while others benefit from longer treatment. We tailor the duration to your specific situation and work together to determine the right timeline. The goal is always to help you feel better and function well—whether that involves medication or other approaches.

This is called treatment-resistant depression, and it's more common than you think. We offer multiple options beyond traditional antidepressants, including Spravato (esketamine) treatment, which is specifically FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression. We've administered over 20,000 Spravato treatments with excellent results. We also offer acupuncture, lifestyle medicine, and state-authorized integrative options as complementary approaches.

It varies by treatment and individual. Traditional antidepressants typically take 4-6 weeks to show full effects, though some people notice improvement sooner. Spravato can work much faster—some patients experience relief within hours or days. We monitor your progress closely during extended appointments and adjust treatment as needed to help you feel better as quickly as possible.
