How do I see a psychiatrist online and get medication prescribed?

Getting Online Psychiatric Care

Here are some good options to see a psychiatrist and get medication prescribed online:

Dedicated Telehealth Platforms

• Talkiatry – Accepts most major insurance, connects you with licensed psychiatrists (not just therapists), good for complex conditions
• Brightside Health – Specializes in depression and anxiety, offers both therapy and medication management
• Done – Focuses specifically on ADHD diagnosis and treatment
• Cerebral – Offers psychiatry and therapy, accepts some insurance

General Telehealth Services

• Teladoc – Large network, accepts many insurance plans, convenient for quick access
• MDLive – Similar to Teladoc, widely accepted by insurers

How the Process Typically Works

1. Sign up and complete an intake questionnaire about your symptoms
2. Schedule a video appointment with a psychiatrist
3. The psychiatrist evaluates you and may prescribe medication
4. Prescriptions are sent to your local pharmacy or mailed

Important Notes

• Controlled substances (like Adderall) have more restrictions and may require in-person visits
• Check if your health insurance covers the service first
• Costs range from $100–$300+ per visit without insurance
