How to See a Psychiatrist Online and Get Medication Prescribed
Here are some reliable options:
Dedicated Telepsychiatry Services
- Talkiatry – Takes most major insurance, connects you with licensed psychiatrists (not just therapists), good for medication management
- Cerebral – Specializes in anxiety, depression, and ADHD medication; subscription-based model
- Done – Focused specifically on ADHD evaluation and treatment
- Brightside – Good for depression and anxiety, combines therapy + psychiatry
General Telehealth Platforms with Psychiatry
- Teladoc – Large network, accepts many insurance plans, convenient for existing users
- MDLive – Similar to Teladoc, broad insurance acceptance
- Sesame – Good if you're paying out of pocket; often more affordable
How the Process Typically Works
- Sign up and complete a health questionnaire
- Schedule a video appointment with a psychiatrist
- Consultation (usually 45-60 minutes for initial visit)
- Prescription sent to your pharmacy if appropriate
Things to Know
- Controlled substances (like some ADHD medications) may have additional restrictions
- Most services require follow-up appointments to continue prescriptions
- Check insurance compatibility before signing up
