Most individuals begin noticing improvement within four to six weeks of starting treatment. Antidepressants typically require this time frame to reach full effectiveness. For those pursuing ketamine therapy, symptom relief often occurs more rapidly.
When standard approaches haven’t been enough, working with a depression psychiatrist near Brooklyn and Downtown Manhattan offers a critical advantage. Dr. Cohen and the team at Principium bring the expertise of physician-led psychiatric care, combining diagnostic precision with compassionate treatment planning. Our clinicians, trained at Cornell and Columbia universities, identify the root causes of your depression and build a personalized plan for meaningful recovery.
Our physician-led model allows for comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, medication management when appropriate and access to advanced treatment options that go beyond traditional methods. The goal is to restore the sense of purpose and energy that depression has taken.
If you’ve tried multiple treatments without success, you’re not alone. Research shows that nearly two-thirds of patients with major depression do not respond adequately to first-line treatments. Treatment-resistant depression occurs when standard medications or therapies don’t provide sufficient relief. At Principium Psychiatry, we specialize in helping individuals who feel like nothing has worked, offering interventional psychiatry options that aren’t available at most practices.
