Get startedOnline Psychiatry FAQ
What is the difference between therapy and psychiatry?
Therapy and psychiatry can both play an important role in your treatment plan. In therapy, licensed therapists work with you to discuss personal challenges and devise a personalized plan, but they aren’t able to prescribe medication. Psychiatry is a medical specialty that monitors medication to treat mental health symptoms. Psychiatrists and nurse practitioners are licensed medical providers who specialize in mental health treatment and can provide personalized medication management.
Can an online psychiatrist prescribe medication?
An online psychiatrist can prescribe medication (with the exception of controlled substances). It’s important to remember that there are no major differences between in-person psychiatry and tele-psychiatry. Talkspace’s platform is HIPAA-compliant and all messaging data is encrypted. Please feel free to email psychiatry-[email protected] with any further questions.
