Everyone goes through brief periods of sadness. But persistent feelings of hopelessness and despair can cause serious problems - and may be indicative of Major Depressive Disorder. Depression can significantly impact your daily life, robbing you of your ability to be productive or experience joy. And no one is immune.
Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide. While there are many therapies and medications that can help manage the symptoms of depression, they don't work for everyone. Studies have found that approximately one-third of people with depression are unable to find relief with standard antidepressants.
Talking about your feelings and experiences with a licensed psychologist helps you to identify your triggers, learn strategies for regaining control of your thoughts and behaviors, and develop the necessary coping skills for managing future setbacks. Whether used alone or in conjunction with psychiatric medications, psychotherapy empowers you to be an active participant in your journey toward a healthier, happier life.
Living with mental illness can be a daily struggle to balance emotions and obligations, thoughts and actions, desires and limitations. But professional psychiatric help can make all the difference. At Pacific Health Systems, we provide a wide variety of services and supports for people struggling with their mental health.

I just recently started care under Jennifer Knisely. She is hands down one of the best mental health specialist I’ve ever spoken to. She’s a great listener, sympathetic, and caring. Moreover, she made me feel included in my treatment plan and I just felt so reassured after our appointment. I really wish this field has more people like her.
Unfortunately, the office receptionists are rude over the phone, unwilling to help, and just wanna get you out of their way as fast as they can. I hope the owner will acknowledge this because the psychiatrist I’m working with is doing a great job and the

Where to begin... ok I’ll start with pre-Covid so there’s no excuses. The receptionist is not there to help you in any way or even to be respectful. Dr Bhatia prescribed medications he would like my client to continue taking but puts no refills on it so it’s very difficult to get them refilled when their office won’t confirm to the pharmacy that there should indeed be refills.
