Advanced Depression Treatment in Phoenix & Scottsdale
At AMHC, we offer several advanced treatments designed specifically for treatment-resistant depression. Our team is dedicated to finding the right approach for each individual, ensuring that every patient receives personalized care.
TMS Therapy (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy is especially effective for those who haven’t responded to other treatments for depression. It’s safe, well-tolerated, and has been shown to improve symptoms in many patients with treatment-resistant depression.
Our experts at AMHC will work with you to find the right depression medication and dosage. Sometimes, a combination of medications or adjusting the current regimen can make a significant difference. Medication management is an essential part of our comprehensive approach to treating treatment-resistant depression.

We use depression testing to better understand the specific nature of your depression. This helps us tailor our treatments to your needs, ensuring that you receive the most effective care possible. Testing can reveal underlying issues that may contribute to treatment-resistant depression.
