Specialized Care for Treatment-resistant Depression in Orlando
Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is defined as depression that has not responded adequately to at least two different antidepressant medications taken at proper doses for sufficient duration. If you've tried multiple medications without meaningful relief, you're not out of options. Our board-certified psychiatrists in Orlando specialize in advanced strategies for treatment-resistant depression.
At Empathy Health Clinic, we take a comprehensive approach to TRD. This begins with a thorough re-evaluation of your diagnosis — because sometimes what appears to be treatment-resistant depression is actually a misdiagnosed condition like bipolar disorder, thyroid dysfunction, or a co-occurring anxiety disorder. From there, we develop an individualized plan that may include medication augmentation, switching strategies, combination therapy, or referral for advanced treatments.
What We Evaluate & Treat in Orlando, FL
Advanced Depression Treatment Options
Comprehensive Re-Evaluation
A thorough diagnostic reassessment to confirm your diagnosis, rule out misdiagnosed conditions (like bipolar disorder or thyroid issues), and identify factors that may be limiting your response to treatment.
Medication Augmentation & Switching
Expert medication strategies including augmentation with atypical antipsychotics, lithium, thyroid hormone, or combination antidepressant therapy. We stay current with the latest evidence-based approaches.
Pharmacogenomic Testing
Genetic testing to understand how your body metabolizes psychiatric medications. This can reveal why certain antidepressants haven't worked and guide selection of medications more likely to be effective for you.
Ongoing Care Coordination
We coordinate with other specialists and treatment providers to ensure comprehensive care for your treatment-resistant depression, managing your psychiatric medications alongside any additional therapies.
