Depression Treatment in Export, PA

Tranquil Tides Psychiatry treats depression for adolescents and adults in Export, PA. Care starts with an evaluation and continues with a plan built around what you need, reviewed and adjusted as you go.

Depression can look like low mood, losing interest in things you used to enjoy, changes in sleep or appetite, low energy, or trouble concentrating, most days for two weeks or more. Depression is common, and it is treatable.

Your provider asks about your history, what you have tried before, what helped, and what did not. If parts of your history are hard to talk about, you can say so, and the pace is set by you. From there your provider talks with you about what is going on and what the options are.

Medication is part of depression care when it is called for: starting something, adjusting a dose, switching, or stopping one that is not working. Visits are long enough to talk about sleep, stress, work, family, and everything else that shapes how you are doing, and to make a plan together.

Follow-up visits look at how things are going, what side effects you are noticing, and what needs to change. Some follow-up visits can be done by telehealth instead of a drive to the office. If depression has not improved after trying other antidepressant medications, that is worth a direct conversation with your provider about other options, including Spravato (esketamine) treatment for adults, given and monitored in our office. If ongoing therapy or counseling would help, your provider will point you toward the right professional.
