Why would I see a psychiatrist online?

One in four Americans is affected by emotional distress at some time in life, but only one in eight seeks care. From chronic concerns such as depression and anxiety, to recent stress caused by events such as grief, divorce, parenthood, or other major life changes, online psychiatry allows for reliable and convenient visits with licensed and highly trained physicians. Besides an initial consultation and diagnosis, here are a few reasons people go online to see a psychiatrist:

You need a psychiatric medication or more than one psychiatric medication
You have one or more mental disorder diagnosis
You feel that you aren’t getting better under the care of a general practitioner
You are experiencing complex side effects to your current medications and would like a second opinion
You want to change your psychiatric medication
You have questions about your doctor’s treatment plan and want a second opinion

And here are some of the most common conditions that can addressed online:

Anxiety
Depression (Major Depressive Disorder, Postpartum Depression)
Bipolar Disorder
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Attention deficit disorder (ADD/ADHD)
