Life and Care in Myrtle Beach
The Myrtle Beach metro has become the fastest-growing in the country for older adults, and more than a quarter of its roughly 413,000 residents are 65 or older. Depression is not a normal part of aging, but retirement, loss and health changes can trigger it, and it is very treatable at any age.
The Myrtle Beach area drew about 18.2 million visitors in 2024, and tourism supports an estimated 82,000 jobs across the Grand Strand. Hospitality work often brings irregular hours and income that rises and falls with the seasons, which can wear on mood.
Coastal Carolina University in nearby Conway and Horry-Georgetown Technical College bring thousands of students to the Grand Strand.
Myrtle Beach's economy centers on tourism and hospitality and retail.
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.
