Refer a Patient

Criteria

Virtually any patient receiving treatment for Major Depressive Disorder may be referred for a one-time comprehensive evaluation for the Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD) Program.
The patient must be working with a psychiatrist responsible for managing their psychiatric care before and after the one-time consultation with the TRD team.
The TRD Program is an excellent option for adult patients over 18 years of age who have failed multiple medications and treatments for depression.

Evaluation Process

Patients receive a one-time face-to-face evaluation with our team.
Treatment recommendations are discussed with the patient and family member.
The referring psychiatrist receives a detailed written summary of the evaluation and treatment recommendations.
Referrals for further assessment and/or treatment are provided to the patient as needed.
The patient is scheduled for a follow-up phone call with our team to answer any additional questions, as needed.
