Treatment options
Options include antidepressant medication, therapy such as CBT or interpersonal therapy, and changes to sleep and activity. Your psychiatrist checks for bipolar disorder and medical causes such as thyroid problems first, because they change the best treatment.

Depression care close to Derry
Derry is one of the largest towns in Rockingham County, with a busy downtown along Broadway and neighborhoods spreading out toward East Derry. We see commuters to Manchester, Salem and Boston, and staff at local healthcare and retail employers and their families when low mood starts to affect work and home life. New Hampshire's short winter days can make seasonal patterns more noticeable for some people.
Care for the Derry community
Derry families range from long-time residents near the town center to young households in newer neighborhoods off Route 102. Many parents commute to Manchester or Massachusetts, and teenagers face the change to Pinkerton Academy's large campus. Being about 20 minutes from our office makes in-person visits realistic, while telehealth covers the busy weeks.
The first weeks of treatment
Antidepressants often take several weeks to work fully. We follow up more closely at the start so side effects and early changes are caught quickly.
