The Self-Critic

Because the wrong medication for your subtype doesn't just fail. It can make things worse. In our data, the same commonly prescribed antidepressant helps 60% of patients with one subtype — and causes 1 in 4 patients with a different subtype to deteriorate. Same drug. Different subtype. Opposite outcome. That's why we identify your depression subtype first, before prescribing anything.

We diagnose before we prescribe.

Every new patient gets the same structured diagnostic interview. 

We evaluate for ADHD, distinguish unipolar from bipolar depression, and determine whether your anxiety is its own problem or a symptom of your depression. Before any medication is written. 

We monitor.

You complete a 23-item scale at every appointment — 2 questions for stress, 7 questions for anxiety, and 14 questions for depression.  

We know where you are, and where we want to take you. 

We have data. 

We have access to our data, the results of the LW-23 scale, medications, diagnoses, for our entire clinic. 

We run analytics on our data to know which medications are likely to improve and which medications are likely to worsen particular depression subtypes. 

We are not guessing. 

We have the data.
