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 Exeter
Exeter is a historic town on the Squamscott River, home to Phillips Exeter Academy. We see healthcare, education and professional workers and commuters to Portsmouth and Boston 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 Exeter community
Exeter is a historic town with a busy downtown, a well-known academy and many residents who commute to Portsmouth or Boston. Families often reach out about teen stress and attention, and adults about anxiety and sleep. The drive to Salem is about 35 to 40 minutes.

If one or two antidepressants have not helped, a careful review of doses, duration, side effects and diagnosis often finds a better path, including switching, combining or adding treatments.
