How Medications Can Improve Mood and Mental Health
Psychiatric medications help the brain work more smoothly so you can feel more balanced, motivated, and able to handle day-to-day life. For someone dealing with depression, the right medication can ease persistent low moods and make it easier to participate in things that matter. For anxiety, medication can quiet racing thoughts, reduce tension, and help you feel calmer in stressful situations.
Many patients find that medications complement therapy, lifestyle changes, and coping strategies. Our psychiatrists tailor treatments to your needs. We aim to help you feel more stable, more energized, and more in control.
Everyone’s experience with medication is different. Some people notice changes within a few weeks, while others take more time to feel a difference. When it comes to mental health treatment, medications work best when combined with compassionate support, guidance, and a plan that fits your lifestyle. This is why our team stays closely involved, checking in and adjusting your treatment to meet your needs.

Depression
We help people living with major depression and similar conditions by pairing carefully chosen medications with ongoing support. The right antidepressants can ease persistent low moods, give you back energy, and make it easier to take part in daily life again. Learn more here.
Anxiety Disorders
Generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety can make everyday life feel overwhelming. Medications can help regulate stress responses and reduce persistent worry, giving you space to practice coping strategies with more ease. Learn more here.
Bipolar Disorders
For people living with bipolar disorder, we often use mood stabilizers and other medications to help even out the extreme highs and lows. Many people tell us they have more energy, sleep more soundly, and connect with others more easily, which makes everyday life feel a little easier to handle. Learn more here.
Insomnia
Sleep is essential for mental health. Our psychiatrists can recommend medications that support restful sleep while monitoring for side effects, helping you wake up feeling more refreshed and ready to take on the day. Learn more here.
PTSD
Post-traumatic stress disorder can affect mood, sleep, and focus. Medication management can help reduce intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and hyperarousal, allowing therapy and coping strategies to work more effectively. Learn more here.

TMS
by Deb (age 64)
Category: generalThe hoops I jumped through in order to be evaluated were straightforward and efficient. I met with PA Kaitlin for about an hour to discuss my history and previous medications. Then Dr. Amato joined us to further discuss my history, the TMS treatment, and answer any questions. Myrna gathered all of the information and submitted it to my health insurance company to request coverage for TMS. Fortunately, insurance approved the treatment and I was able to begin the next week. I’m sure most people have anxiety about starting a treatment like TMS. No matter how many times it’s described to you, there are many unknowns. How will I feel during treatment? Is it painful? What if this doesn’t work? What if it works for a while but then stops? In all honesty, I was very uncomfortable during the first couple of weeks of treatment. The alternating two seconds of tapping sensation caused some pain during treatment, and at the end of the first week I thought about quitting. But I had sworn to myself that TMS was a last resort and I HAD TO complete the treatment and give it a chance to work. My technician, Heather, told me that some people don’t feel the tapping at all, they only hear it. Guess I wasn’t one of those people! But as the days went by, it became easier to tolerate the treatments. During this time I also saw Lauren weekly for CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy). This is highly recommended for people undergoing TMS treatment, and it was a positive complement to my total of 100 minutes each week “under the helmet”. The weekend between weeks three and four, I started to notice subtle improvements in my mood, increased belief in my self-worth, and enthusiasm for simple things like going for walks, meeting friends for lunch, and taking on volunteer work in the community. I hesitated at first to believe that TMS was helping me. I was afraid that I was convincing myself it was working because I so desperately wanted it to! But now that I am past the treatment I can say with cert
TMS
by Barbie (age 68)
Category: generalI feel so blessed to participate in the TMS protocol at MT Psychiatry. After struggling so many years with depression and not getting significant results from medication, particularly of late, I noticed positive results in the first two weeks of treatment. TMS can literally give you back the beauty & joy in living as well as the courage to make positive life changes and improvements in your daily living situation. I heartily encourage anyone to put yourself into the hands of the amazing TMS team who so gently and graciously make this journey with you out of the black hole that is depression. It is my honor and privilege to give the TMS treatment the highest recommendation.
TMS
by Shayne (age 66)
Category: generalI am grateful for the support and caring I have received from Dr. Amato (and Heidi, Heather and Myrna) in my quest for mental health and a fuller more productive life. While the TMS results have been subtle, I feel more positive about my future and I would recommend this team absolutely. Thank you!
TMS
by Carrie (age 65)
Category: generalNot realizing how fuzzy my head was, I thought I was only going through severe anxiety and depression. Through the insight of Pat, I was able to go through TMS treatments which brought down the anxiety and depression immensely and has cleared up the fuzzy, far off substantially. All the personnel treated me with kindness and I’m sure their attitudes helped in my recovery.
TMS
by Bridget (age 47)
Category: generalThe first outcome of TMS I noted happened early in my treatment, at about the beginning of week two. I felt as though my “brain fog” had been chipped away. I wish I could report that I feel my mental health issues are in “remission”, but I can’t do so yet. My hope is that I will see improvement in the weeks to come, now that my TMS cycle has ended. I can say that my brain feels – in some way – different; I can’t explain exactly how. I continue to struggle at this point in time but sill have hope for more improvement.
