Treatment Resistant Depression Clinic
Services Summary
1. Your face-to-face evaluation at Emory you will be with Jocelyn Wise, LCSW and Dr.
William McDonald, the director of the Treatment Resistant Depression Clinic. They may
want you to be evaluated by others too, such as our psychologist.
2. Following the evaluation, your case may be discussed with a group of Emory
psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, skilled therapists, and social workers. Together, we
will formulate comprehensive recommendations.
3. Treatment recommendations may include additional tests, changes in psychiatric
medications, investigational treatments like Ketamine or Transcranial Magnetic
Stimulation, types of talk therapy, substance abuse treatment, electroconvulsive therapy,
and more.
4. Treatment recommendations will be discussed with you over the phone. They will also be
written up and sent to the psychiatrist who referred you.
5. Follow-up treatment may need to be found outside of Emory
6. Our coordinator will be getting in touch with you by phone 1 month, 2 months, and 3
months after your visit to see how you are doing.
I have read the above summary of services and have an understanding of the services I may
receive as part of my evaluation by the Treatment Resistant Depression Clinic.
