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

Getting Online Psychiatric Care and Medication

Here are some reliable options:

Dedicated Telehealth Psychiatry Platforms

• Talkiatry - Accepts most major insurance, connects you with licensed psychiatrists (not just therapists), good for complex conditions
• Cerebral - Specializes in anxiety, depression, and ADHD; subscription-based model
• Done - Focuses specifically on ADHD evaluation and treatment
• Brightside - Good for depression and anxiety, combines therapy and psychiatry

General Telehealth with Psychiatry Options

• Teladoc - Large platform, widely accepted by insurance
• MDLive - Similar to Teladoc, broad insurance coverage
• Hims/Hers - More affordable option for common conditions like anxiety/depression

How the Process Typically Works

1. Sign up and complete a health questionnaire
2. Schedule a video appointment with a psychiatrist
3. Evaluation during your session (usually 30-60 minutes)
4. Prescription sent to your local pharmacy if appropriate

Practical Tips

• Check if your insurance is accepted before signing up
• Controlled substances (like stimulants) have additional restrictions
• Bring a list of any current medications
• Be honest about your symptoms for the best evaluation
