How it works: get your mental health medication prescription in 4 steps

1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the €25 consultation fee.
2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor determines the treatment is not appropriate, your €25 is refunded automatically, so there is no risk.
3. If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone and present it at a pharmacy to collect the medication; the pharmacist reviews it and decides whether it can dispense it.

Who qualifies for mental health medication via online consultation

Our EU-licensed doctors individually review each case. They assess your medical history, symptoms, and current health status through the online questionnaire. This ensures that any prescribed mental health medication is safe and appropriate for you. The doctor looks for clear indications for the medication and verifies that there are no contraindications that could pose a risk to your health. Conditions commonly addressed include depression, anxiety disorders, ADHD, insomnia, OCD, and PTSD. However, severe mental health crises or complex conditions may require in-person care.

What mental health medication does (and doesn't do)

Mental health medications work in various ways to help manage symptoms of conditions like depression, anxiety, or ADHD. For example, antidepressants often balance neurotransmitters in the brain, while anxiolytics can reduce feelings of worry and panic. It's important to understand that these medications are tools to help manage symptoms, not instant cures. You may experience improvements over several weeks, and finding the right medication and dosage can take time. Medications are most effective when combined with other forms of support, such as therapy or lifestyle adjustments, and should always be taken as prescribed by a doctor.

Side effects and when to stop mental health medication

Like all medications, mental health drugs can have side effects. These vary depending on the specific medication and individual, but commonly include nausea, dizziness, insomnia, or changes in appetite. Most side effects are mild and temporary, often improving as your body adjusts to the medication. However, some side effects can be more serious. It's crucial to report any concerning or severe side effects to a healthcare professional immediately. Never stop taking your medication abruptly without consulting a doctor, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms or a worsening of your condition. Your prescribing doctor will provide guidance on managing side effects and when it might be appropriate to adjust or discontinue treatment.
