Depression care close to Dover
Dover is a Seacoast city on the Cocheco River with a revitalized mill district and a lively downtown. We see healthcare staff, manufacturing workers and commuters to Portsmouth and the Pease Tradeport 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.

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.
Care for the Dover community
Dover's mix of historic mill buildings, a growing downtown and family neighborhoods attracts people who work across the Seacoast. Many residents commute to Portsmouth or toward Boston, and some work in Maine. Video visits are a natural fit, as long as the visit happens while you are in New Hampshire.
Seasonal and postpartum patterns
Some people notice depression mainly in the darker months, and new parents can develop depression after a baby arrives. Both patterns are recognized and treatable.
Getting care from Dover
From Dover, our Salem office is about 50 minutes to an hour by car. Many Dover patients choose secure video for most visits and come to Salem when an in-person appointment adds something.
Frequently asked questions
What if I have thoughts of suicide?
Call or text 988 at any time, or call 911 if you are in immediate danger, and let your psychiatrist know.
How do I know if it is depression?
If low mood or loss of interest lasts most days for two weeks or more and affects daily life, an evaluation is worthwhile.
Do you treat teens with depression?
Yes, through our child and adolescent service.
Can I have a video visit while I am in Maine?
No. Our psychiatrists are licensed in New Hampshire, so you must be physically in New Hampshire during a video visit.
