Depression is more than sadness or a difficult season. Major depressive disorder can affect mood, motivation, sleep, appetite, concentration, energy, self-worth, relationships, and daily functioning. When symptoms persist or interfere with life, a clinical evaluation can help clarify what is happening and what treatment options may be appropriate.

Depression, also called major depressive disorder, is a mental health condition that can affect how a person thinks, feels, and functions. It may involve persistent low mood, loss of interest or pleasure, fatigue, sleep changes, appetite changes, difficulty concentrating, guilt, hopelessness, or thoughts of death.
Depression can look different from person to person. Some people feel sad or tearful. Others feel numb, irritable, slowed down, disconnected, or unable to enjoy things that used to matter. Depression can also overlap with anxiety, ADHD, insomnia, PTSD, OCD, substance use concerns, medical illness, medication side effects, or major life stress.
A careful evaluation helps determine whether symptoms are consistent with depression, whether another condition may be contributing, and what type of treatment may be appropriate.
Dignity Brain Health evaluates depression symptoms such as:
If you are in immediate danger or may harm yourself, call 911, call or text 988, or go to the nearest emergency department. Dignity Brain Health’s online intake is not monitored for emergencies.
Depression treatment begins with a careful evaluation. Your clinician reviews your current symptoms, psychiatric history, medical history, prior medication trials, therapy history, sleep, safety considerations, goals, insurance, and location.
Depending on your needs, treatment may include psychiatric medication management, online therapy, online psychiatry, TMS therapy for depression, or a recommendation for another type or level of care.
You do not need to know which treatment is right for you before starting. Our intake and evaluation process helps clarify whether Dignity Brain Health may be an appropriate fit and which next step makes sense.
Psychiatric medication management for depression focuses on evaluating whether medication may be appropriate, discussing options, monitoring response, managing side effects, and adjusting treatment over time.
Medication management is not simply a one-time prescription visit. Depression treatment often requires follow-up, monitoring, and adjustment as symptoms, side effects, circumstances, and goals change.
Medication may not be appropriate for every patient. Recommendations depend on diagnosis, symptom severity, prior medication response, medical history, safety considerations, co-occurring conditions, and patient preferences.
Therapy can be an important part of depression treatment. It may help patients understand patterns, address avoidance, improve coping skills, work through stressors, strengthen relationships, and support meaningful change over time.
Dignity Brain Health offers online therapy and counseling for patients physically located in Massachusetts, Florida, or Texas at the time of the visit. Therapy may be provided on its own or coordinated with psychiatric medication management when clinically appropriate.
TMS therapy for depression is available in person at Dignity Brain Health’s Brookline office near Boston.
TMS, or transcranial magnetic stimulation, is a noninvasive treatment option for adults with major depressive disorder or treatment-resistant depression when clinically appropriate. It uses magnetic pulses to stimulate targeted areas of the brain involved in mood regulation.
TMS does not require anesthesia, sedation, or surgery. It is not available by telehealth.
At Dignity Brain Health, TMS therapy is focused on depression, including major depressive disorder and treatment-resistant depression. TMS may be considered when depression has not improved enough with prior treatment and when insurance authorization requirements are met.
Some patients try multiple antidepressant medications without enough improvement or with side effects that make treatment difficult. This does not mean depression is untreatable. It may mean a different treatment approach should be considered.
Treatment-resistant depression generally refers to depression that has not improved enough after multiple adequate treatment trials. For some patients with treatment-resistant depression, TMS therapy may be an appropriate option.
Medication management, therapy, and TMS are not mutually exclusive. Depending on the patient, they may be used separately or coordinated as part of a broader treatment plan.
