You Don't Have to Live with Depression

Our Orlando depression specialists help patients navigate low mood, loss of interest, difficulty concentrating, and other symptoms through individualized treatment plans that fit their needs. At our psychiatry clinic in Orlando, we offer comprehensive mental health services including psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and ongoing support.

Depression is more than just feeling sad - it's a serious medical condition that affects how you think, feel, and function in daily life. But here's the good news: depression is highly treatable. With the right combination of therapy, medication, and support, most people experience significant improvement.

At Empathy Health Clinic, our experienced psychiatrists and therapists specialize in treating all forms of depression using evidence-based approaches proven to work. We create personalized treatment plans that address your unique symptoms, lifestyle, and goals.

Our Depression Treatment Approach

We offer comprehensive, personalized depression treatment combining multiple evidence-based approaches:

Medication Management

Our psychiatrists prescribe and monitor antidepressant medications (SSRIs, SNRIs, atypical antidepressants) tailored to your symptoms and medical history. We carefully adjust dosages to maximize benefits while minimizing side effects.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps you identify and change negative thought patterns that contribute to depression. It's one of the most effective therapies for depression.

Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)

IPT focuses on improving your relationships and communication patterns that may be contributing to depression.

Lifestyle & Wellness Support

We provide guidance on exercise, sleep hygiene, nutrition, and stress management to support your recovery.
