What conditions does Bright Horizons Psychiatry treat?

Bright Horizons Psychiatry treats adults with treatment-resistant depression, major depressive disorder, Bipolar II disorder and bipolar depression, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, OCD, PTSD, ADHD, and insomnia. We focus on adults whose first-line medications have not produced full remission and who may benefit from advanced treatments like TMS, Spravato, or ketamine.

Do you accept Medicare and Maryland Medicaid?

Yes. Bright Horizons Psychiatry accepts Medicare and Maryland Medicaid, including for advanced treatments like TMS therapy and Spravato (esketamine). Our team handles prior authorizations and verifies coverage in advance so patients can access advanced care without administrative burden.

Do I need a referral to schedule an appointment?

No referral is required for most insurance plans. Patients can book a psychiatric evaluation directly with our Rockville office. We typically offer same-week appointments and can accommodate urgent requests within 24 to 48 hours when needed.

What is treatment-resistant depression and how do you treat it?

Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) refers to depression that has not improved after two or more adequate trials of antidepressant medication. At Bright Horizons Psychiatry we treat TRD with a combination of optimized medication management, BrainsWay Deep TMS, accelerated TMS protocols, Spravato (esketamine), and intramuscular ketamine, all coordinated under one roof in Rockville.

Does Bright Horizons Psychiatry offer telehealth?

Yes. We offer secure video-based telehealth appointments for established patients across Maryland. Initial psychiatric evaluations are conducted in person at our Rockville office, after which most follow-ups and medication management visits can be conducted virtually.

What makes Bright Horizons Psychiatry different from larger psychiatry clinics?

Bright Horizons is a boutique adult psychiatry practice that combines specialist-level expertise in treatment-resistant depression with personalized, low-friction care. Patients receive medication management, neuromodulation (TMS, Spravato, ketamine), and integrated coordination with outside therapists in one practice, rather than navigating large hospital systems or fragmented telehealth networks.

Is TMS therapy covered by insurance in Maryland?

TMS therapy is covered by Medicare Part B and most commercial insurance plans in Maryland for treatment-resistant depression. Our team verifies coverage and handles prior authorization on the patient's behalf before treatment begins.

What conditions does Bright Horizons Psychiatry not treat?

Bright Horizons Psychiatry does not treat Bipolar I disorder, primary psychotic disorders, substance use disorders, or personality disorders as a primary diagnosis. We focus deeply on adult mood and anxiety disorders so we can deliver high-quality outcomes within our scope, and we provide referrals to specialized programs such as Sheppard Pratt, Johns Hopkins, and other regional centers when a different level of care is needed.
