National Depression and Mental Health Screening Month: Your Complete Guide

Think Outside the Bottle

By Dr. Erin Amato MD

 

We’re delighted to mark the launch of an exciting new book written by Dr. Erin Amato MD, National Director of Turnwell Mental Health Network, a Leon Capital Group company. 

As a psychiatrist, Dr. Amato was trained to treat symptoms of depression with psychotropic medications. But despite multiple rounds of medication and painful side effects, many patients did not get better. In fact, their depression often worsened, leaving them feeling defective and broken—and hopeless.

Turnwell Mental Health of Tampa Bay offers a comprehensive range of evidence-based psychiatric treatments:

Psychiatrists are medical doctors specializing in mental health who can diagnose conditions, prescribe medications, and provide medical treatment. At Turnwell Mental Health of Tampa Bay, our board-certified psychiatrists focus on medication management and advanced treatments like TMS therapy, Spravato, and IV ketamine.

 

Therapists (such as psychologists, counselors, and social workers) provide talk therapy and counseling to help you develop coping strategies and work through emotional challenges.

 

Many patients benefit from both – a psychiatrist for medication management and medical treatment, and a therapist for psychotherapy. If you’re experiencing symptoms like:

 

  • Persistent depression or anxiety that interferes with daily life
  • Mood swings or bipolar symptoms
  • Difficulty concentrating or ADHD symptoms
  • Depression that hasn’t responded to therapy alone
  • Thoughts of self-harm

 

A psychiatric evaluation can determine if medication or advanced treatments might help. Call (813) 344-5074 to schedule a consultation with our Tampa Bay psychiatric team.

  • Board-Certified Expertise – Dr. W. Nate Upshaw is board-certified in general psychiatry with extensive experience in complex mental health conditions
