“Overall i am doing well. Im starting to feel anxious a bit but nothing like before. I'm very happy with my provider and therapist. They are both helping me so much”
“I like my practioner, she listens, cares, and makes adjustments. I don't like the system. It is not user friendly. I was confused about the process of making the next appointment, I do not like being prompted to report how I am doing. I find #'s limiting. What if none of the options really fit how I am feeling or what I am thinking. There is a difference between "not at all" and "several times a week." What if that happened once. Once is not several, is more than not at all. So I am either under-reporting or over-reporting no matter what I choose. I understand this is common practice in such screening instruments, but I do not like it or find it provides an accurate statememnt of how I am doing. To me, ask me! I have lived with myself for 67 years now. I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety for about 40 years, never remember not being anxious (although so much better than when I was a child and in my 20's and 30's), and depressed since adolescence (it is episodic, I know it when I am depressed, know when I need to talk with a psychiatry professional, and seek that out when needed). I am a better source of how I am doing than a GAD or depression screen. Of course, that does not fil well in a statistical report, but I am more than numbers.”
“Really enjoying my sessions. The lessons being in small doses really allows me to process what I am reading and I like that it makes you address things going on in your life currently. My therapist is always on point and I enjoy how calm her demeanor is when we speak.”
“Easy to navigate app and website, schedule appointments, easy check-ins! Also accepts my insurance so I am not paying fees just for a membership like I was on a similar site.”
“I didn't know that Brightside doesn't use talk therapy and that's what I need. Unfortunately this isn't working for me which I hate saying because I really like my therapist Brian. He's the reason I'm giving 4 of 5 stars and not less”
“my provider gave me a prescription and i told her i was doing very well on it, when it came time for a refill she ghosted me and didn’t answer any messages.”
“Brightside is fantastic. I’m beyond glad I found this website to help me get through what I am going through. The team is great and goes above and beyond for my care. They listen to my concerns and help me improve.”
“The app is really nice and I like the check ins- I wish there was a spot at the end to write anything of concern or feedback
My psychiatrist is nice but not really personable, feels she rattles off a script and moves onto the next”
“I’ve been through quite a few different practices in search of a good fit, and was pleasantly surprised that it was in the palm of my hand this whole time. Medicinal management and therapy have been super easy to get to and very stress free in that I can choose my scheduling to fit my busy schedule.”
