Depression and Anxiety care at home in Morris County
Depression in later life is frequently mistaken for ageing, for dementia, or for an understandable reaction to loss. It is common, it is treatable, and leaving it alone is not kindness.
Managing depression and anxiety without the trips to an office
Our team is based in East Hanover, so Morris County is home turf. We cover the Route 10 and Route 46 corridors, the Morristown area, the Chathams and the lake communities to the west.
A clinician comes to your home anywhere in Morris County with a portable exam kit and your chart already open. Visits run 45 to 60 minutes, which is the time it takes to examine you properly, review every medication in the house and write a plan your family can follow. Whether you are looking for a house call doctor, a visiting physician or in-home medical care for a senior parent in Morris County, this is that service.
Why it gets missed
In older adults depression often shows up as physical complaints, poor sleep, appetite loss, unexplained pain or apparent memory trouble rather than as sadness. Someone who has stopped answering the phone and stopped cooking is telling you something, and it is worth asking about directly.
We also look for the causes hiding underneath: thyroid problems, vitamin deficiency, pain, a medication side effect, alcohol, hearing loss, or the isolation that follows losing the ability to drive.
Treatment that fits the person
Medication can help a great deal and is not the whole answer. It has to be weighed against everything else being taken, because the wrong choice worsens confusion and falls. We also talk about the practical side: getting out, seeing people, sleep, and referral for talking therapy where you want it.
After a hospital stay in Morris
If you have recently been discharged from Morristown Medical Center or Saint Clare's Denville, we can usually visit within two to three days to reconcile the discharge medication list against what is actually in the house. We are independent and not affiliated with any hospital system.
