Depression Isn't One Condition. Research Identifies Distinct Patterns — And Different Patterns Respond to Different reatments.
Most psychiatry practices treat depression as a single diagnosis. We don't. We identify your specific pattern, match treatment to it using clinic-wide outcome data, and measure whether it's working at every appointment.
This free screening takes about 3 minutes and helps you understand which depression pattern fits your experience.
How We Match Treatment
to Your Pattern
Accurate diagnosis at the first appointment
Every patient receives a structured diagnostic interview designed to identify your depression subtype, anxiety profile, and any co-occurring conditions. This isn't a 10-minute screening. It's a research-grade process used by fewer than 5% of clinical psychiatrists. The goal is to get your diagnosis right the first time — not on the third try.
Measurement at every visit
The LW-23 is a 23-item rating scale we developed to track depression, anxiety, and stress with more precision than standard tools. The PHQ-9 most practices use has 9 questions. Ours has 23 — enough to distinguish between subtypes and detect changes your provider can act on. You complete the LW-23 at every appointment, and your provider reviews the results with you before making any treatment decisions.
Data-informed treatment selection
When your provider selects a medication or adjusts a dose, that decision is informed by what our clinic-wide data shows has worked for patients with your same depression pattern. This isn't guessing. This isn't "let's try this and see." This is treatment matched to measured outcomes across our entire patient population.
Knowing what not to try
This may be the most important part. Most practices learn what doesn't work through trial and error — with you as the trial. Our data also shows which medications, dosing strategies, and combinations are less effective or poorly tolerated for specific depression subtypes. Knowing what to avoid can save you weeks or months of failed treatment.
