You don't have to keep managing this alone
Depression can drain the energy out of everyday life: work, relationships, sleep, motivation, even simple decisions can start to feel heavy. At ORIGEN Healthcare, our depression treatment program starts with a thorough evaluation and an honest conversation about what you've been experiencing, so we can build a treatment plan that actually helps.
We combine psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and brief psychotherapy, and for patients who haven't found relief with standard antidepressants, we also offer Spravato (esketamine) therapy for treatment-resistant depression.

After years of not being properly treated for anxiety, depression, and ADHD, she helped me find the right combination of treatments, and she made sure I was part of the decision every step of the way. She really listens, takes side effect concerns seriously, and even coordinated with another doctor to make sure everything worked together safely.
What is depression?
Depression, or major depressive disorder, is a medical condition marked by persistent sadness, loss of interest, and changes in energy, sleep, or appetite that last most of the day, nearly every day, for at least two weeks. It's more than temporary sadness: depression affects how the brain processes mood, motivation, and stress.
Depression can present differently depending on the person, and it includes related presentations such as seasonal affective disorder (SAD), postpartum depression, and persistent depressive disorder (a longer-lasting, lower-grade form).
Left untreated, depression can affect work, relationships, and physical health.
Signs you may benefit from depression treatment
You don't need to be at a breaking point to seek help. Many people benefit from an evaluation when symptoms start affecting daily life. A consultation with your provider is the best way to determine the right treatment path for you.
- Persistent sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness
- Loss of interest in activities you used to enjoy
- Changes in sleep, appetite, or energy levels
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Feeling like you've tried medication before without real relief
- A first-time evaluation or a second opinion on your current treatment

Questions patients ask
How is depression diagnosed?
Depression is diagnosed through a clinical evaluation that reviews your symptoms, medical history, and how long you've been experiencing changes in mood, energy, or daily functioning. Standardized screening tools are often used to support diagnosis.
What is treatment-resistant depression?
Treatment-resistant depression refers to depression that hasn't responded adequately to at least two different antidepressant medications tried at appropriate doses. Options like Spravato (esketamine) are specifically approved for this group of patients.
Does depression treatment always require medication?
No. Treatment is individualized and may include medication, brief psychotherapy, lifestyle strategies, or a combination, depending on the severity and type of depression you're experiencing.
Is depression treatment covered by insurance?
Many depression evaluation and treatment services are covered by insurance, including medication management. Our team can help verify your specific benefits before your first appointment.
How long does it take for antidepressant medication to work?
Most antidepressants take two to six weeks to show noticeable improvement, though some people notice smaller changes sooner. Your provider will monitor your progress and adjust your plan as needed.
What if standard antidepressants haven't worked for me?
If you've tried multiple antidepressants without adequate relief, you may be a candidate for Spravato (esketamine) therapy, which we offer for treatment-resistant depression.

What patients say
4.9from 55 Google reviewsBefore starting care with Nazira, I was in a very difficult place. She took the time to thoroughly evaluate me, leading to an accurate diagnosis and an effective treatment plan. Throughout the process, I faced many challenges, but she remained patient, dedicated, and never gave up on helping me improve.
With all of my different medication and mental health needs she always has a solution and she always knows how to offer support. Even if one medication works she has a secondary option or even a third option to replace what if something doesn't work.
I cannot recommend ORIGEN Healthcare enough. From the moment you walk in, you feel truly heard and supported. Dr. Nazira and the entire team are incredibly professional, compassionate, and thorough in their approach to mental wellness. They take the time to create a personalized plan that actually works.
