Advanced Depression Treatment in Scottsdale, AZ

Comprehensive psychiatric care with evidence-based options when standard depression treatments haven’t been effective.

When Depression Persists Despite Treatment

Depression does not look the same for everyone — and not all individuals respond to standard antidepressant medications or therapy alone. If symptoms persist despite treatment, additional evaluation and advanced options may be appropriate.

At Sonoran Sun Wellness, we provide advanced depression treatment within a comprehensive psychiatric framework, ensuring each patient receives careful assessment, education, and collaborative treatment planning.

Our Approach to Advanced Depression Care

Advanced depression treatment begins with diagnostic clarity, not assumptions.

Care may include:

Comprehensive psychiatric evaluation
Review of prior medications and treatment history
Assessment for co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, ADHD, or trauma-related symptoms
Discussion of advanced treatment options and appropriateness

Treatment decisions are always made collaboratively, with informed consent and ongoing monitoring.
