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 Pelham
Pelham is a small town between Salem, Hudson and the Massachusetts line. We see commuters to Lowell, Nashua 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 Pelham community
Pelham keeps a small-town feel between Salem, Hudson and the Massachusetts line. Many residents work in Lowell or Nashua, so it helps that our Salem office is about 15 minutes away and that video visits can be done from home in New Hampshire.
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.
Getting care from Pelham
Our office at 215 South Broadway in Salem is about 15 minutes from Pelham, so in-person visits are practical. Many Pelham patients come in for the first appointment and use secure video for follow-ups.

Can I be seen by video?
Yes, when you are in New Hampshire.
Can I stop antidepressants once I feel better?
Talk with your psychiatrist first; a planned taper is safer.

It can. Ongoing care and early warning plans help prevent relapse.
