Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our depression treatment services
Yes we can. Our doctors and nurse practitioners use the same guidelines and clinical tools to diagnose depression online as a doctor or nurse practitioner would if you saw them in person.
We can. Our team of experienced doctors, nurse practitioners and pharmacists can give you the help you need. We'll work with you month by month to establish your goals and help you find the antidepressant medicine that works for you. Once you've seen improvement, we'll work with you to decide if and when to come off treatment. Our treatment program is centered around monthly video consultation.
GoMDUSA doesn't currently offer cognitive behavioral therapy ('CBT'), but you may find CBT helpful as a substitute or complement to prescription treatment. Our team will help you find CBT options that are right for you.
Yes, antidepressants tend to be effective. Because you're unique, it's difficult to tell in advance how a particular antidepressant medicine will work for you. That's why it's so important that we work with you to adjust your depression medicine if needed. We'll typically recommend you start with an SSRI, and adjust your medicine and dosage based on how you respond.
As with any medicine, there's no guarantee that a specific antidepressant will work for you.
Antidepressants don't work immediately. It can take 6-8 weeks before you know how a depression medicine at a particular dosage works for you, and it can take 3 months before you feel the full benefits.
Most people stay on depression medicines for at least 12 months the first time they take them. If your depression returns repeatedly, one option is to stay on antidepressant medicine longer. Our medical team will work with you to determine the best treatment duration for your specific situation.
Treatment & Risks
Important information about our depression treatment approach
Depression is complex. While mental health is one of the most common uses of telemedicine, we aren't able to help everyone and results don't happen overnight. If your depression or wider situation is too complex for us to handle, we'll be straight up with you and recommend you see someone in person.
The depression medicines we prescribe online are prescription medicines that are FDA-approved and taken by millions of Americans every day. But like all medicines, they come with the risk of side effects. And while we'll do all we can to personalize your care and find the right treatment plan for your goals, there's no guarantee that the medicines will work.
