Anxiety and Depression Treatment With Aetna in Washington

When anxiety or depression starts affecting everyday life

Everyone experiences difficult days.

But when worry, sadness, low motivation, panic, sleep changes, or loss of interest begin interfering with work, school, relationships, or everyday life, it may be time to seek professional support.

Meaningful Psychiatry provides psychiatric services through telehealth for eligible Aetna patients throughout Washington.

What anxiety can look like

Anxiety may involve:

• Persistent worry
• Racing thoughts
• Feeling on edge
• Panic attacks
• Difficulty sleeping
• Physical tension
• Avoiding situations because of fear
• Difficulty concentrating
  
  

What depression can look like

Depression may involve:

• Persistent sadness or emptiness
• Loss of interest or enjoyment
• Changes in sleep
• Changes in appetite
• Low energy
• Difficulty concentrating
• Feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness
• Pulling away from people or activities

You do not need to wait until symptoms become overwhelming before asking for help.

What can treatment look like?

Treatment depends on the person.

A psychiatric provider may discuss:

• Medication
• Psychotherapy
• Behavioral strategies
• Sleep and lifestyle changes
• Coordination with an existing therapist or primary-care provider

There is no single treatment plan that works for everyone.

Your life is part of your mental health

Mental health does not exist in isolation.

Work, school, family responsibilities, relationships, grief, major life changes, financial stress, culture, and other parts of life can influence how someone feels.

A meaningful treatment plan considers the person as a whole rather than focusing only on a symptom checklist.

Already seeing a therapist?

You can often continue seeing your therapist while receiving psychiatric care.

Your therapist and psychiatric provider may coordinate with your permission when clinically appropriate.

This can be particularly useful when someone wants ongoing psychotherapy alongside medication management.

If you are a therapist or healthcare provider

If you work with patients who need psychiatric evaluation or medication management, Meaningful Psychiatry welcomes professional referrals and networking relationships.

We are particularly interested in connecting with Washington therapists, primary-care practices, pediatric practices, and other professionals who need a psychiatric referral option for their patients.
