Depression is not a character flaw or a phase to push through. It's a medical condition — and one that responds well to the right treatment. The key word is 'right': what works for one person may not work for another.
At Balanced Psychiatry, we take time to understand your full picture — your history, your symptoms, your life — before recommending anything. Then we build a plan that's genuinely tailored to you, and we adjust it as you progress.
Types of depression we treat
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
Persistent low mood, loss of interest or pleasure, fatigue, changes in sleep or appetite, and difficulty concentrating — lasting at least two weeks and significantly affecting daily life.
Persistent Depressive Disorder
Also called dysthymia, this is a chronic, lower-grade depression lasting two or more years. It can be easy to dismiss as 'just how I am' — but it's treatable.
Postpartum Depression
More than the 'baby blues,' postpartum depression involves intense sadness, anxiety, exhaustion, and difficulty bonding after childbirth. It affects up to 1 in 5 new mothers and is highly treatable.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
A pattern of depression tied to seasonal changes — most commonly emerging in fall and winter. Colorado's high-altitude winters make this especially common in our region.
Bipolar Depression
Depressive episodes that occur as part of bipolar disorder require a different treatment approach than unipolar depression. Accurate diagnosis is essential to getting the right care.
Treatment-Resistant Depression
When standard treatments haven't provided adequate relief, there are still options. We explore alternative medications and advanced treatments like ketamine to find what works for you.
How we treat depression
We offer a range of evidence-based treatments and work with you to find the right combination.
Medication Management
Antidepressants — including SSRIs, SNRIs, and other classes — can be highly effective for many forms of depression. We carefully evaluate your history, discuss options openly, and monitor your response closely, adjusting as needed.
Psychotherapy
Talk therapy is a cornerstone of depression treatment. We coordinate with therapists who specialize in evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), ensuring your psychiatric and therapy care work together.
Ketamine Treatment
For patients who haven't responded to traditional antidepressants, ketamine offers a fast-acting alternative with strong evidence behind it. We evaluate whether ketamine is appropriate for your situation and guide you through the process.
