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.

Depression care close to Goffstown
Goffstown is a town just west of Manchester along the Piscataquog River, home to Saint Anselm College. We see commuters to Manchester and local small businesses 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 Goffstown community
Goffstown has a village feel, with Saint Anselm College on one side of town and quiet rural roads on the other. Families often look for help with teen anxiety and attention, and adults commuting to Manchester appreciate video follow-ups that do not add another drive.
When earlier treatment has not worked
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.
