Depression care close to Manchester
Manchester is New Hampshire's largest city, from the Millyard and Elm Street to the North End, the West Side and South Manchester. We see healthcare workers, finance and tech staff in the Millyard, and shift workers across the city 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.

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.
Care for the Manchester community
Manchester patients often tell us that finding a psychiatrist who is taking new patients was the hardest step. Some live within walking distance of Elm Street, others in quieter neighborhoods near Lake Massabesic or the Goffstown line, and many juggle shift work at the city's hospitals, schools and warehouses. Video visits let them keep appointments without fighting city traffic or finding parking downtown.
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.
Getting care from Manchester
Our office at 215 South Broadway in Salem is about 30 to 35 minutes south on I-93 from Manchester, so in-person visits are practical. Many Manchester patients come in for the first appointment and use secure video for follow-ups.
