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.

Integrated Psychiatric & Therapy Support

Advanced depression care is most effective when integrated with broader support. When appropriate, treatment may also include:

  • Ongoing medication management

  • Individual therapy (CBT, DBT-informed, trauma-informed care)

  • Lifestyle psychiatry support (sleep, stress, routines)

  • Nervous system–informed strategies

​​

This integrative model supports long-term symptom improvement and stability.

​

Who May Benefit From Advanced Depression Treatment?

You may want to explore advanced options if:

  • Antidepressant medications have not been effective

  • Side effects limit medication use

  • Depression continues to impact daily functioning

  • You are seeking additional, evidence-based treatment options

​​

A comprehensive evaluation is required to determine appropriateness and safety.
