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

Getting Online Psychiatric Care

Here are some good options to get started:

Dedicated Telepsychiatry Platforms

• Talkiatry - Accepts most major insurance, employs board-certified psychiatrists, good for ongoing medication management
• Cerebral - Specializes in anxiety, depression, and ADHD; subscription-based model
• Done - Focused specifically on ADHD diagnosis and treatment
• Brightside - Good for depression and anxiety, combines therapy and medication

General Telehealth with Psychiatry

• Teladoc - Large network, widely accepts insurance
• MDLive - Similar to Teladoc, broad insurance acceptance
• Sesame - Good for uninsured patients, transparent pricing

How the Process Typically Works

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

Things to Know

• Controlled substances (like Adderall) have more restrictions and may require in-person visits in some states
• Bring a list of current medications and symptoms
• Check insurance coverage before booking
