About Dr. Laura Bennett
Dr. Laura Bennett is a psychiatrist based in Boston who focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of depression and related mood disorders, with a particular emphasis on Anti-Depressant medication management. She works mainly with adults who experience persistent sadness, reduced motivation, difficulty concentrating, sleep changes, and a loss of interest in activities that once felt meaningful.
In her practice, Dr. Bennett begins with a detailed assessment that covers current symptoms, personal and family history, physical health, and previous treatments. When Anti-Depressant therapy is recommended, she explains how different medication classes work, discusses realistic timelines for improvement, and reviews possible side effects in clear, practical terms.
Patients appreciate Dr. Bennett’s structured follow-up approach. She schedules regular check-ins to adjust doses when needed, monitor overall progress, and answer questions that arise once treatment has started. She also encourages combining medication with psychotherapy, healthy sleep routines, physical activity, and other supportive strategies whenever possible.
By integrating up-to-date clinical guidelines, careful medication monitoring, and collaborative decision-making, Dr. Bennett helps patients move step by step toward more stable mood, better daily functioning, and an improved quality of life.
