Who qualifies for mental health medication
Our EU-licensed doctors individually review each case. They assess your medical history, current symptoms, and any previous diagnoses to determine if online treatment is appropriate and safe for you. The doctor looks for a clear medical need for the medication, ensuring it aligns with established clinical guidelines for mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD.
What mental health medication actually does (and doesn't do)
Mental health medications, such as antidepressants, anxiolytics, or stimulants, work by rebalancing brain chemistry to alleviate symptoms. For example, antidepressants can improve mood and reduce feelings of sadness, while anxiolytics can help manage anxiety and panic attacks. It's important to understand that these medications are often part of a broader treatment plan, which may include therapy. They can significantly improve your quality of life, but they are not instant cures and may take several weeks to show full effect. Always follow your doctor's instructions for dosage and duration.

Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, mental health drugs can have side effects. These vary depending on the specific medication but can include nausea, dizziness, changes in sleep patterns, or weight fluctuations. Most side effects are mild and temporary. However, if you experience severe or persistent side effects, or if your symptoms worsen, it is crucial to contact a doctor immediately. Never stop taking your medication abruptly without medical advice, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms or a relapse of your condition.
