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.
Care for the Laconia community
Laconia's year runs on two speeds: a crowded summer around the lakes and a much quieter winter. Seasonal work, changing routines and long dark months can affect sleep and mood. Most Laconia patients see us by secure video, which removes the long drive south.
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 Laconia
Our office is in Salem, about an hour and 15 minutes from Laconia, so most Laconia patients see us by secure video from home. When an in-person visit is needed, we plan it so the trip is worthwhile.

Yes, through our child and adolescent service.
How long do antidepressants take?

Do I have to travel to Salem from Laconia?
