“Im grateful that psychiatric care has been made accessible to me as someone without health insurance. i know these platforms can be villianized but they have a place in our broken healthcare system for demographics like myself.”
“So far the first provider didn’t care and when she was questioned about a medicine she prescribed she became angry and told me I should seek another provider. The second one didn’t bother to read a message I had sent her before our appointment that give her an outline of my history etc and told me she didn’t have time to read a message that long.”
“I really like being able to see my provider from the comfort of my home. I would like to be able to book a follow-up appointment a month out but that's not an option.”
“The therapy part of my treatment is great! However the psychiatrist part, not so great. I can’t get the medication I was prescribed from my previous psychiatrist and it is starting to affect me. I also don’t feel like the meds my psychiatrist has me on are doing much to help me. All that keeps happening is increasing my dosage when I fell I need different medication”
“I love my trauma therapist Natalya, but I was not impressed by my psychiatrist. I ultimately went back to my PCP to fix the interactions created by my prescribed medications and have discontinued visits with him. If they'd let me change I would have selected someone else but there was no option for that.”
