For many Virginians, depression doesn’t simply lift with the first antidepressant—or even the third. If you’ve tried multiple medications, therapies, or lifestyle changes without lasting relief, you may be dealing with treatment-resistant depression (TRD).
At Stillpoint Integrative Psychiatry, located in Harrisonburg, Virginia, we specialize in helping individuals with TRD find renewed hope. Through both in-person office visits and telehealth psychiatry across Virginia, our approach is personalized, holistic, and rooted in cutting-edge science.
What Is Treatment-Resistant Depression?
Treatment-resistant depression refers to major depressive disorder that does not respond to at least two different antidepressant medications given at adequate dose and duration. However, it often involves much more:
- Little or no relief despite multiple treatments
- Recurring episodes of depression
- Co-occurring anxiety, OCD, ADHD, or trauma
- Persistent fatigue, numbness, or mental fog
Why Traditional Treatment May Not Be Enough
Standard treatments for depression often rely heavily on medications alone. But without assessing your brain-body connection, nutritional deficiencies, sleep patterns, and stress physiology, the deeper root causes often remain unaddressed.
That’s why our care model at Stillpoint goes deeper.
Our Integrative Approach to TRD
We offer a whole-person approach that combines conventional psychiatry with functional and holistic methods. After a thorough evaluation, we design a customized plan that may include:
- Advanced medication management, including ketamine therapy options
- Genetic and lab testing to guide treatment and uncover hidden factors
- Targeted supplements like magnesium, L-theanine, or omega-3s
- Collaboration with therapists or coaches for integrated care
- Telehealth psychiatry across Virginia for convenience and accessibility
Ketamine for Treatment-Resistant Depression in Virginia
Ketamine is a promising option for individuals who haven’t responded to SSRIs, SNRIs, or therapy. Unlike traditional antidepressants, it works through the glutamate system and can bring rapid symptom relief.
Stillpoint offers both in-office ketamine nasal spray sessions in Harrisonburg and carefully monitored at-home ketamine protocols via telehealth to qualifying patients throughout Virginia.
