FAQ

How to Prepare for an Initial Evaluation?

Before your appointment, it’s helpful to prepare by making a list of:

  • Any symptoms you or those close to you have observed, and their duration.
  • Key personal information, such as past traumatic events and current major stressors.
  • Your medical history, including other physical or mental health conditions.
  • All medications you take, including prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and supplements, along with their doses.
  • Questions you want to ask to make the most of your appointment.

What Can I Expect from My First Psychiatry Appointment?

The first session focuses on getting to know you. Your online psychiatrist will ask about your medical and psychological history, including any medications you’re taking and the mental health symptoms you’re experiencing. They will then provide recommendations for further treatment, including any necessary prescription medications.

Can an Online Psychiatrist Diagnose?

Yes, online psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions and create treatment plans, just like in-person providers. Schedule a video assessment to meet with a mental health professional from anywhere, at any time. After signing up, SoulUp connects you with your chosen psychiatrist within a week for an evaluation, prescription, and ongoing care for conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and more.

What is the Difference Between Therapy and Psychiatry?

Both therapy and psychiatry play vital roles in mental health treatment. In therapy, licensed therapists help you address personal challenges and develop coping skills and healthy habits, but they cannot prescribe medication. Psychiatry, on the other hand, involves prescribing and monitoring medication to manage mental health symptoms. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners are licensed medical providers specializing in mental health treatment and medication management.
