Life and Care in Hartsville
Hartsville is a manufacturing town, home to a global packaging headquarters, a steel mill and a nuclear power plant, and manufacturing is Darlington County's largest employment sector. Long or rotating shifts can cut into sleep, daylight and time with family, all of which affect mood.
Hartsville is home to Coker University. Depression often first appears in the late teens and twenties, and students 18 and older can be seen by video without leaving campus.
Hartsville's economy centers on packaging and steel manufacturing and nuclear power.
Darlington County is federally designated as a mental health professional shortage area, meaning there are too few mental health professionals for the people who live there. Telehealth lets Hartsville residents see a provider without waiting for a local opening.
How Depression Treatment Works
Depression is more than sadness. It means low mood or loss of interest most of the day, nearly every day, for two weeks or more, often with changes in sleep, appetite, energy and concentration.
Your first visit is a full evaluation by secure video. Your provider uses standard questionnaires such as the PHQ-9, asks about your health and stresses, and looks for medical causes such as thyroid problems.
Treatment can include therapy, medication when clinically appropriate, or both. Your provider repeats the same questionnaires over time, so you can both see whether treatment is working. If you are having thoughts of harming yourself, call or text 988 or call 911.
Insurance and Scheduling
We accept Medicare, most major commercial plans, and all South Carolina Medicaid managed care plans except Select Health (First Choice). New patients are often able to be scheduled within a week of requesting an appointment.
