- Print the PDF or show it on your phone and present it at a pharmacy in Austria; the pharmacist will review it and decide whether it can be dispensed.
Who qualifies for online mental health consultations
Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually. They look for specific criteria to ensure online consultation and potential medication is safe and appropriate for you. Generally, this includes a review of your medical history, current symptoms, and any existing conditions or medications. The doctor will determine if your specific mental health needs can be safely and effectively addressed via telemedicine.
What online mental health consultations actually do (and don't do)
Online mental health consultations provide a convenient way to access professional medical advice, diagnoses, and prescriptions for various mental health conditions. They can help you manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, insomnia, and other common issues. However, they are not suitable for acute psychiatric emergencies or conditions requiring immediate in-person intervention. The goal is to offer accessible, ongoing support and medication management when appropriate, not to replace comprehensive psychotherapy or crisis services.

Potential side effects and when to seek further help
If medication is prescribed, it's important to be aware of potential side effects, which vary depending on the specific drug. Your doctor will discuss these with you. Common side effects can include nausea, dizziness, or changes in sleep patterns. You should stop the medication and consult a doctor immediately if you experience severe allergic reactions, worsening mental health symptoms, or any other concerning side effects. Always follow your doctor's instructions and report any adverse reactions.
