Depression is a common, but serious, mood disorder that impacts how you think, feel, and act. While many people experience depression-like symptoms at some point, depression is more than “feeling blue” or “down in the dumps.” Depression symptoms interfere with your daily functioning and are not easy to overcome. Common symptoms include:
Another symptom of depression can be thoughts of suicide or even suicide attempts. If you’re experiencing suicidal thoughts, please call 911 immediately.
Telehealth services make managing your depression symptoms easy. You aren’t limited to the psychiatric nurse practitioners or mental health treatment providers within driving or commuting distance. Instead, you can connect with a licensed, caring provider no matter where you or they are. Treatment can take place from the comfort and privacy of your home, and it’s easier to schedule an appointment that fits into your busy life.
What’s more, several studies have found that telehealth services for depression improves access to care and is just as effective as in-person treatment.
Washington State mandates some in-person appointments for patients taking a controlled substance. We will discuss this during your sessions.
