Life and Care in Laurens
Laurens County is federally classified as partially rural. Living farther from services can make it harder to get help for depression, and telehealth removes the drive.
Laurens County's economy is manufacturing-heavy, including a transmission plant that announced 400 new jobs in 2023 and a large distribution center. Long hours and physically demanding work can take a toll on mood and energy.
Laurens's economy centers on automotive and plastics manufacturing and distribution.
Laurens 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 Laurens 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.
