Appointments are 100% from the comfort of your own home via telepsychiatry.

Follow-up appointments are available with access to self-scheduling through the patient portal. Medication management and supportive therapy are also provided.
Depression
Over 300 million people are affected annually by depression, making it one of the most common mental health conditions in the world. At Thompson Psychiatry, Inc., we are committed to providing comprehensive mental health services to those who struggle with depression.
What is Depression?
Depression is a mental health condition that can affect the entire body, including the brain. It can negatively alter the way you think, behave, and feel. It may be defined as persistent feelings of sadness, loss of interest, and unrest that last longer than a few weeks.
Anxiety
Anxiety disorders impact over 40 million people every year within the U.S. Though everyone may experience anxiety from time to time, anxiety disorders cause persistent stress or unease about even daily situations such as socializing with others, driving, or work. Left untreated, anxiety can significantly impact one’s quality of life and ability to participate in activities that they used to enjoy.
Bipolar
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings with significant emotional highs and lows. Both ends of the spectrum cause severe symptoms that can be difficult to manage.
It is a chronic mental health condition that does not have a cure, but the management of symptoms is possible.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
What is obsessive-compulsive disorder?
Obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD, is a mental health condition in which people experience unreasonable thoughts or fears known as obsessions, that lead to compulsions or repetitive behaviors to alleviate the anxiety associated with the obsessions.
If you have OCD and try to ignore your obsessions, you may experience increased anxiety as a result.
PTSD
Traumatic experiences are common, affecting an estimated 40-70 percent of people. Past traumas deeply embed themselves in our brain biology and can have a significant influence over subconscious behavior patterns that impact quality of life. Those suffering from PTSD can develop feelings of depression, have difficulty sleeping and thinking clearly, experience high levels of anxiety, and are often times easily triggered with a hyperactive nervous system. PTSD can lead to irritability, anger, avoidance, mistrust, and difficulty managing emotions. The successful treatment and healing of PTSD often involves combining a personalized medication protocol and specific therapy designed to relieve immediate symptoms, while providing overall support to set the conditions for recovery and growth.
ADHD
ADHD generally starts in childhood, and is often undiagnosed in adults, resulting in difficulty with focus, inability to sit still, and difficulty performing up to one’s full potential when it is hard to pay attention to details, organize and complete projects. People with ADHD often feel like they aren’t doing as well as they should be, leading to secondary anxiety and self-esteem issues. ADHD responds very well to medication and help with organization and time-management, and therapy can help address related anxiety and insecurities.
schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe brain disorder that affects the way people think, feel, and behave. This serious mental health condition can be distressing and disruptive for day-to-day life. Symptoms, which may vary from person to person, commonly include delusions, hallucinations, difficulty concentrating or thinking, disorganized behavior, and problems with motivation. Symptoms typically start in early adulthood and require lifelong attention.
Dementia
Dementia is the loss of cognitive functioning, such as thinking, remembering, and reasoning, to such an extent that it interferes with a person’s daily life and activities. Some people with dementia cannot control their emotions, and their personalities may change. Dementia ranges in severity from the mildest stage, when it is just beginning to affect a person’s functioning, to the most severe stage, when the person must depend completely on others for basic activities of living.
