Treatment-Resistant Depression

When Previous Approaches Haven’t Helped

If you’ve tried multiple treatments for depression without finding lasting relief, please know that this doesn’t mean you’ve failed—it means you need a different approach.

We specialize in helping people who haven’t found success with traditional depression treatment through advanced options and deeper understanding of treatment resistance.

You Might Benefit from Our Specialized Approach If:

  • Multiple medications haven’t provided lasting relief or caused difficult side effects
  • Therapy has helped somewhat but depression still significantly affects daily life
  • Work, relationships, or activities continue to feel overwhelming despite treatment
  • You feel stuck and worry that nothing will ever help
