If you're looking for an online mental health consultation in Germany, you've come to the right place. Hi-Doctor connects you with EU-licensed doctors who can assess your needs and, if appropriate, issue a prescription online. Our streamlined process means you get a digital prescription in under 24 hours for just €25. This prescription includes the details pharmacies need; each pharmacy reviews it and decides whether it can dispense it, and may dispense a locally marketed equivalent. No clinic visits, no long waits — just fast, private, and professional care.
How it works: get your mental health prescription in 4 steps
- Fill out a short online medical questionnaire (takes 2–3 minutes) and pay the flat €25 consultation fee.
- An EU-licensed doctor reviews your case individually and in private. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate for you, your €25 fee is refunded automatically. There's no risk to you.
- If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (a downloadable PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
- Print the PDF or show it on your phone at a pharmacy; the pharmacist reviews it and decides whether it can dispense it.
Who qualifies for online mental health consultations
Our EU-licensed doctors evaluate each case individually to ensure safe and appropriate treatment. They look for specific criteria, including your medical history, current symptoms, and any existing conditions or medications. The doctor will assess if online consultation is suitable for your specific mental health needs. It's important to provide accurate and complete information in your medical questionnaire to help the doctor make an informed decision.
What online mental health treatment actually does (and doesn't do)
Online mental health consultations provide a convenient way to access professional medical advice and, if appropriate, medication for conditions like anxiety, depression, and stress. The prescribed medications work by addressing chemical imbalances in the brain or by impacting neural pathways. It's important to understand that medication is often part of a broader treatment plan, which may also include therapy or lifestyle adjustments. While medication can significantly alleviate symptoms, it's not a 'quick fix' and typically requires several weeks to show full effect. The doctor will discuss realistic timelines and expectations with you.

Side effects and when to stop
As with any medication, mental health treatments can have side effects. These vary depending on the specific drug but can include nausea, dizziness, changes in sleep patterns, or digestive issues. Your doctor will discuss potential side effects and what to look out for. It's crucial to report any concerning or severe side effects to a medical professional immediately. Never stop taking prescribed medication abruptly without consulting a doctor, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms or a relapse of your condition. Your doctor will guide you on how to safely manage or discontinue treatment if necessary.
