Psych Boston · Serving Weymouth & Norfolk County
Depression Treatment in Weymouth, MA
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 Weymouth, Massachusetts, from our office in Lexington and through secure telehealth. Weymouth families often choose telehealth for routine follow-ups to avoid the drive into the Route 128 corridor.
Depression treatment for Weymouth patients: who it helps
People from Weymouth 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.
Getting care from Weymouth
We do not have a separate office in Weymouth; all in-person visits take place at our Lexington location. Weymouth patients are usually about 40 minutes from our Lexington office via Route 3 and I-93 north to Route 128/I-95. The MBTA Greenbush Line commuter rail stops at Weymouth Landing and East Weymouth, with bus connections to Quincy Center.
We regularly see patients from Weymouth Landing, Jackson Square, Columbian Square, North Weymouth and South Weymouth. For many Weymouth residents, a combination of an in-person first visit and telehealth follow-ups works well.

Frequently asked questions about depression treatment in Weymouth
Can I get depression treatment by telehealth from Weymouth?
In many cases, yes. Weymouth 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 Weymouth neighborhoods do you serve?
We see patients from all parts of Weymouth, including Weymouth Landing, Jackson Square, Columbian Square, North Weymouth and South Weymouth, 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.
