Depression Treatment for Corpus Christi Patients
Depression is one of the most common reasons Corpus Christi patients reach out — and one of the most treatable, especially with a root-cause approach. Willow & Stone treats first-time and long-standing depression, including treatment-resistant cases, for Corpus Christi residents by secure telehealth with Dr. Stacey Forbes, DNP, PMHNP-BC.
Signs it may be time for help
- ✓Lasting low mood, sadness, or emptiness
- ✓Loss of interest in things you used to enjoy
- ✓Fatigue, or sleeping too much or too little
- ✓Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- ✓Symptoms that haven’t responded to prior treatment
Our Treatment Approach
When depression hasn't fully responded to medication, missed contributors are often the reason. Dr. Forbes evaluates inflammation, nutrient status, hormones, and the gut-brain axis alongside conventional treatment. For Corpus Christi patients with treatment-resistant depression, advanced options such as Spravato (esketamine) and ketamine are available (these require in-person dosing).
Why Telehealth Works for Corpus Christi
Corpus Christi's coastal community has relatively few psychiatry providers for its size, making virtual access to a doctoral-level provider especially valuable. Telehealth removes the biggest barriers to care — travel, time off work, and long waits — so Corpus Christi residents can see Dr. Forbes from home. Research shows telepsychiatry is comparable to in-person care for evaluation, medication management, and follow-up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can depression be treated with telehealth in Corpus Christi?
Yes. Evaluation, medication management, and follow-up for depression are all effective by secure video for Corpus Christi patients.
What if antidepressants haven't worked for me?
That's common. We do an integrative workup to find missed contributors and, when appropriate, offer treatment-resistant options like Spravato and ketamine.
Do you offer Spravato or ketamine near Corpus Christi?
We provide the telehealth evaluation and planning; the medication itself requires supervised in-person dosing, which we coordinate.
