If you have felt down, empty or unmotivated for two weeks or longer, it may be depression — and it is worth getting help. Psychiatric depression treatment starts with understanding your symptoms and builds a plan around your goals.
Psych Boston provides depression treatment for patients in Newton, Massachusetts, from our office in Lexington and through secure telehealth. With thirteen villages and strong school systems, Newton families often look for clinicians who can coordinate with schools, pediatricians and therapists.
Depression treatment for Newton patients: who it helps
People from Newton 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 Newton
Do you have an office in Newton?
Our office is in Lexington at 35 Bedford Street. Newton patients usually reach our Lexington office in 20 to 25 minutes via Route 128 north to Route 2A or Waltham Street. Many Newton patients also use secure telehealth, which is available to patients located in Massachusetts at the time of the visit when clinically appropriate.
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.
Can I get depression treatment by telehealth from Newton?
In many cases, yes. Newton 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.
Is this an emergency service?
