Seymour is a working town along the Naugatuck — tight-knit, community-minded, the kind of place where people know each other and look out for each other. But that closeness can also make it harder to say "I'm not okay." There's a sense in communities like Seymour that you manage, that you don't make a fuss, that other people have it harder. And then months pass, and you're still not sleeping right, still not feeling much, still going through the motions without anything really landing. That's depression. It's not weakness. It's a condition — and it responds to proper care. Sindhia Shyras, APRN, sees Seymour residents through telehealth anywhere in Connecticut and in-person at our New Britain office. She's been doing psychiatric work for nine years and she's worth calling.
She doesn't rush through a checklist. Sindhia — board-certified, nine years focused on mood disorders — sits with your situation and actually thinks about it. She asks how depression is showing up in your day-to-day: your sleep, your relationships, your performance at work, your energy. She also looks for what might be alongside the depression — anxiety, trauma, ADHD — because those things shape the right approach. Seymour patients tend to describe their first appointment as the first time they felt like someone in healthcare actually had time for them. That's not an accident. It's how she works.
The first appointment is a full hour. Sindhia goes through your current symptoms, your history, what you've tried, your family background, and your goals for treatment. From that she builds a real plan — not a template. It might be medication, supportive therapy woven into your follow-ups, or a combination. Follow-up visits are spaced around your progress: more frequent early on, less often as things settle. If your symptoms shift between visits, she wants to hear about it. You're not left figuring it out alone until the next scheduled appointment.
Most Seymour patients use telehealth — it's the easiest option, covers all of Connecticut, and doesn't require you to rearrange your whole day. If you prefer in-person, our New Britain office is accessible from Seymour via Route 8 in under 20 minutes. Same quality of care either way.
