Next-Step Treatments
NEXT STEP, NEWER TREATMENTS FOR DEPRESSION
Traditional treatments for depression, PTSD and anxiety do not help all people and many will continue to suffer despite trialing various medications and therapies. In fact, up to 30% of adults treated with antidepressants remain treatment resistant.
Chronic depression is debilitating and decreases the individual’s quality of life and ability to function normally. New, alternate treatment options are available that offer hope for those who continue to battle depression.

These novel depression treatments are not suitable for everyone. It is important to discuss the various options with your treating psychiatrist and GP. AwareHub will oversee your depression treatment in the clinic, but your primary care will remain the responsibility of your treating doctor.
Please note that many newer depression treatments are privately funded and do attract any Medicare rebates. Costs involved include the treatment sessions, doctor’s and psychologist’s appointments, medication cost and dispensing fees.
