Depression Treatment
The new telehealth wave is making it more convenient and safe to seek treatment remotely. Speaking with a prescribing provider online is quick and easy to access from anywhere through your phone or computer. Receiving a prescription right at your door (also known as an e-prescription) ensures you never have to go out of your way to pick it up or forget to stop at the pharmacy on the way home from work.
Telehealth services usually have their own patient portals. Making an account is as simple as signing up. After signing up, there will be an option to schedule a time:
- Speak to a provider within 1-3 days: with Cerebral, new members typically speak to a provider within 1-3 days. Unlike in-person doctor's appointments, telehealth appointments don't have wait times of weeks or months. Your provider will go through symptoms, medical history, allergies, and current medication to determine the right treatment for you.
- Get your prescription fast: prescription is delivered to your doorstep after you and your provider determine a course of treatment. Your provider will make sure to explain why you are receiving a particular treatment and what you can expect going forward.
- Reach your Care Counselor or provider easily: keep track of how your treatment is working by messaging regularly with your mental healthcare professionals. At Cerebral, there will also be monthly check-ins with your Care Counselor, where you're free to discuss how you've been feeling and possible strategies on how to manage your emotions.
- Keep things private and confidential: with telehealth, care is right at your fingertips and at your discretion. Have your meetings at work or at home while taking care of your kids. Remote healthcare fits into your schedule, wherever you are.
Ultimately, remote depression and anxiety treatment is safe, secure, and discreet. It's easy to access and manage through your own portal. Cerebral is dedicated to your mental health, and our providers and therapists are a one-stop place for all you might need for mental healthcare.
