Our approach
How we treat depression
Depression can look like low mood, loss of interest in things you used to enjoy, fatigue, changes in sleep or appetite, trouble concentrating, or a heavy hopelessness that will not lift. We begin with a thorough evaluation to get the diagnosis right, then build a plan that often combines a non-controlled antidepressant when appropriate with therapy coordination and regular check-ins. No controlled substances are involved. Depression responds to accurate diagnosis, the right non-controlled medication, and follow-up that does not drop off after the first visit.
Why timely care matters
Getting depression care in Falmouth without the wait
Falmouth is home to about 12,000 residents. Many residents live hours from the nearest psychiatrist, and rural Maine has long faced a shortage of mental health providers. So even here, a timely in-person psychiatry appointment can be hard to come by, and that is the gap online depression care fills for Falmouth adults.
