We use proven, evidence-based treatments to achieve optimal outcomes, including novel rapid-acting antidepressants that can be taken orally in the comfort of your own home. There’s no need to take time off work or come into an office.

Our two-week treatment for postpartum depression, for instance, has twice-daily oral medication for major depressive disorder that offers improvement in symptoms in just days (and high remission rates at six weeks).
