Depression
Depression Treatment
Depression is a serious mood disorder that causes persistent feelings of sadness, loss of interest, and difficulty functioning in daily life. As a PMHNP-BC, Cyndia Milord-Giordani offers compassionate, integrated care to help you move beyond hopelessness and rediscover joy and motivation.
My approach is highly personalized, focusing on stabilizing mood and building resilience through a combination of psychiatric evaluation, medication management, therapy, and telehealth services.
Development of Mood Restoration
Effective treatment for depression involves a detailed analysis of contributing factors, including biological imbalances and environmental stress. We initiate care with a thorough psychiatric evaluation to pinpoint needs. Our strategy emphasizes gradual mood elevation, energy restoration, and the development of sustainable self-care strategies via medication management and psychotherapy, ensuring a stable and lasting recovery.
How do you determine if medication is right for my depression?
We use the psychiatric evaluation to assess symptom severity and history. Medication management is discussed collaboratively, balancing benefits against potential side effects.
Can therapy alone treat severe depression?
For moderate to severe depression, a combination of psychotherapy and medication management often yields the best, most sustained results.
What kind of therapy do you use for depression?
We often use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based modalities to challenge negative thought patterns and encourage behavioral activation.
Do I have to commit to medication long-term?
No. Treatment duration varies. We continually re-evaluate your medication management plan, and decisions regarding long-term use are always made collaboratively.
