Depression Treatment in Mississippi
Depression is a common but serious mood disorder that causes severe symptoms that affect how you feel, think, and handle daily activities.
In Mississippi, access to psychiatric care has historically been limited — Mississippi has one of the nation's highest rates of unmet mental health needs and the lowest per-capita mental health funding. The state has fewer than 180 practicing psychiatrists for a population of nearly 3 million — approximately 1 psychiatrist per 16,000 residents. Hometown NP's telehealth model changes this by connectingMississippi residents directly with board-certified PMHNPs via secure video — no commute or waiting room.
Mississippi law requires health insurance plans to cover telehealth services, including mental health care. Your standard mental health benefit applies to your Hometown NP telehealth appointment. We accept Aetna, Cigna, Humana in Mississippi. Self-pay is $150/session.
