Psych Boston provides depression treatment for patients in Dedham, Massachusetts, from our office in Lexington and through secure telehealth. With Route 128 running along its edge, Dedham is a straightforward drive to our office, and patients often book early-morning visits before work.
Depression treatment for Dedham patients: who it helps
People from Dedham come to us for depression treatment for many reasons, including:
- Major depressive disorder
- Persistent depressive disorder (long-lasting low mood)
- Depression after a loss, life change or major stress
- Postpartum and perinatal depression
- Depression that has not responded to past treatment
- Teens with depression affecting school or friendships
What to expect
- Comprehensive evaluation: We review symptoms, duration, past episodes, medical conditions, substance use and safety, and screen for bipolar disorder before choosing treatment.
- Treatment options: Plans may include antidepressant medication, therapy referrals, sleep and activity strategies and coordination with your primary care provider.
- Treatment-resistant depression: When first options have not worked, clinicians review dose, duration and alternatives, and discuss advanced options where appropriate.
- Ongoing care: Regular follow-ups track mood, side effects and functioning, and help prevent relapse.

Frequently asked questions about depression treatment in Dedham
Can I get depression treatment by telehealth from Dedham?
In many cases, yes. Dedham residents can often complete visits by secure video from home or work in Massachusetts. Your clinician may recommend an in-office visit in Lexington when that would be more helpful.
How long does it take for depression treatment to work?
Antidepressants usually take 4–8 weeks to reach full effect. Some people notice better sleep or energy sooner.
What if antidepressants have not worked for me before?
Past non-response is common and does not mean treatment will fail. Your clinician will review what you have tried and discuss other options.
Do you treat depression in teenagers?
Yes. Our team includes child and adolescent psychiatry, and parents or guardians are involved in care for minors.
Which Dedham neighborhoods do you serve?
We see patients from all parts of Dedham, including Dedham Square, East Dedham, Oakdale, Riverdale and the Legacy Place area, as well as surrounding Norfolk County communities.
Is this an emergency service?
No. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911, or go to the nearest emergency department.
