Treatment & risks
Depression and anxiety are complex. While mental health is one of the most common uses of telemedicine, we aren’t able to help everyone and results don’t happen overnight. If your personal situation is too complex for us to handle, we’ll be straight up with you and recommend you see someone in person.
The antidepressants and anxiety medicines we prescribe online are prescription medicines that are FDA-approved and taken by millions of Americans every day. But like all medicines, they come with the risk of serious side effects. And while we’ll do all we can to personalize your care and find the right treatment plan for your goals, there’s no guarantee that the medicines will work.
What is Depression?
Depression is the most common mental health condition. Too many people feel unable to get help.
Can you diagnose depression online?
Yes. Our doctors and nurse practitioners use the same guidelines and clinical tools to diagnose depression online as a doctor or nurse practitioner would if you saw them in person.
Can you treat depression online?
We can. Our team of experienced doctors, nurse practitioners and pharmacists can give you the help you need. We’ll work with you month by month to establish your goals and help you find the antidepressant medicine that works for you. Once you’ve seen improvement, we’ll work with you to decide if and when to come off treatment.
Lemonaid doesn’t currently offer psychotherapy called ‘cognitive behavioral therapy (‘CBT’), but you may find CBT helpful as a substitute or complement to prescription treatment. Our team will help you find CBT options that are right for you.
Are depression medicines effective?
Yes. Because everyone’s unique, it’s difficult to tell in advance how a particular antidepressant medicine will work for you. That’s why it’s so important that we work with you to adjust your depression medicine if needed. We’ll typically recommend you start with an SSRI, and adjust your medicine and dosage based on how you respond.
As with any medicine, there’s no guarantee that it will work for you.
