Depression Treatment in Wilmington: Compassionate, Personalized Psychiatric Care

Published on: 7 Oct 2025

Depression doesn’t always look like sadness. It can feel like exhaustion, detachment, or the quiet loss of motivation for things that once mattered. For many people, it’s not just emotional - it’s physical, affecting sleep, energy, and even the ability to think clearly.

At Therapeutic Infusions, we understand depression as more than a chemical imbalance. Our psychiatric team approaches treatment with curiosity, compassion, and precision - helping patients uncover the factors that contribute to their symptoms and rebuild a sense of balance and hope.

Understanding Depression

Major depressive disorder affects millions of people every year, but no two experiences are the same. Some people feel constant heaviness; others feel flat or disconnected. Some find relief with medication, while others need a more tailored approach.

Our psychiatric nurse practitioners (PNPs) specialize in recognizing these nuances. They take time to understand your story, your history with medications or therapy, and what you’ve already tried. The goal is not to start over - it’s to move forward with a plan that finally fits.

A Personalized Treatment Process

Your first visit with a PNP is an opportunity to be heard. We’ll discuss your symptoms, health history, and current stressors, then develop a plan that meets your needs.

That plan may include:
  1. Medication management with close follow-up and careful titration
  2. Therapeutic support to help you process and reframe underlying issues
  3. Lifestyle guidance on sleep, exercise, and nutrition, all of which impact mood regulation
  4. Ongoing monitoring to ensure safety, stability, and progress over time

Treating the Whole Person

Depression affects the mind, body, and spirit - and effective treatment must consider all three. Our clinic’s leadership reflects this philosophy: a physician with over 30 years of emergency medicine experience and a doctor of ministry with a background in therapeutic care. Together, they’ve built an environment where medical precision and human understanding coexist naturally.

Our psychiatric nurse practitioners continue that tradition. They combine science with empathy, creating space for patients to talk freely about how they’re really feeling - and what healing could look like in their daily lives.

Accessible, Compassionate Care

In Delaware, psychiatric appointments can take months to secure. At Therapeutic Infusions, we’ve made access a priority. New patients are often seen within days, with the option for virtual visits to make ongoing care easier to maintain.

Every step of the process - from the first appointment to long-term follow-up - is designed to help you feel safe, understood, and supported.

Meet the Team Behind the Care

Our psychiatric care team reflects the heart of our clinic: medical expertise guided by genuine compassion. Led by Dr. Joseph Raziano and Jeanne-Marie Raziano, DMin, each provider is chosen for their ability to connect deeply and provide individualized, thoughtful treatment. It’s care that meets you where you are - and helps you rediscover what better can feel like.
