Treatment for depression is effective. Psychotherapy, otherwise known as talk therapy and medication management are the most common and can be an effective method to help combat depression. Combining both psychotherapy and medication management has been shown to be most effective when treating depression.
Psychotherapy services can be offered via in person and telepsychiatry as can medication management with a psychiatrist, psychiatric nurse practitioner or physician assistant. With a combination of medication management, psychotherapy, lifestyle changes and other additional treatment options depression can be effectively managed and treated. Increasing physical activity, reducing stress, and regularly taking medications while attending psychotherapy can help reduce symptoms of depression and improve overall daily functioning and quality of life. Other treatment options include Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, a drug free FDA approved treatment offered to outpatients that is non-invasive, drug-free and covered by most insurance plans. Williamsville Psychiatry is pleased to offer psychiatric evaluations, medication management, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, and soon welcoming our team of psychotherapists to offer psychotherapy services via telemedicine and in person at our Williamsville location to those across the state of New York.
