Depression

There is no longer a stigma associated with depression. Mental health is squarely in the spotlight amidst our current societal evolution. If you are depressed, do not hide it. Be proactive by reaching out to our psychiatrist, Dr. Aaron D. McDaniel, M.D. by dialing (914) 244-7208. Feelings of sadness and/or a loss of interest in things you previously enjoyed are two of the most common signs of depression. Depression is likely to lead to emotional problems and even some physical problems such as the loss of appetite and difficulties with sleep unless you obtain mental health counseling.

We are proud to provide an evidenced-based, comprehensive mental health treatment strategy designed to help you return to normal living. Treating depression begins with a confidential assessment of your mental health. Our psychiatrist will use the information obtained in this session to develop an individualized treatment plan. A plethora of inpatient and outpatient treatment modalities to improve mental health are available. Examples of such treatment options include medication therapy, support groups and psychotherapy here at New York Metropolitan Psychiatry.

A psychological evaluation will be performed to diagnose your specific mental health condition. This evaluation helps the psychiatrist understand your specific needs and develop a treatment plan tailored to you rather than a generic plan applicable to any patient. Our evaluations often include tests to gauge cognitive functionality, stress levels, anxiety, etc. Medication, talk therapy and additional treatment modalities really do have the potential to help you overcome depression.
