What Davie Patients Usually Ask About
Depression
We start with an evaluation and build a plan from there. That might mean medication, therapy or both, with regular check-ins to adjust as you go.
High-functioning anxiety
Plenty of people keep up with work or school while dealing with constant worry, bad sleep or tension. You don’t need to wait for things to fall apart. An evaluation will show whether treatment would help.
