Complex Cases

When Diagnosis Is Unclear and Treatment Has Failed

You’ve seen multiple providers who’ve given different diagnoses. Perhaps you’ve been told it’s depression, then bipolar, then anxiety—or maybe providers have said they’re “not sure what’s going on.” Treatment attempts have provided minimal improvement or made things worse.

When diagnostic uncertainty and treatment failures leave you without answers, our comprehensive team approach provides clarity and effective treatment pathways for the most challenging mental health presentations.
