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.
