Patients access mental health services from privacy of home—no one sees them entering psychiatrist's office. Anonymous intake option for initial screening. HIPAA-compliant video with end-to-end encryption. No mental health visit recorded in public-facing appointment history (visible only to patient and provider).

Patients choose therapist by specialty (anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction), approach (CBT, DBT, psychodynamic), language, gender, availability. Ratings and reviews from verified patients. First consultation typically 45-60 minutes for comprehensive assessment

Video therapy (see therapist's expressions, build rapport). Audio-only (patients who prefer voice). Text-based chat (asynchronous messaging for non-crisis support). Crisis hotline integration (escalate to emergency services if needed). Group therapy sessions (support groups, DBT skills training)

Validated mental health questionnaires (PHQ-9 for depression, GAD-7 for anxiety) administered regularly. Track symptom severity over time. Visualize progress with graphs. Adjust treatment if not improving. Outcome data demonstrates therapy effectiveness.

Medication Management

Psychiatrists prescribe medications via e-prescriptions. Drug interaction checking (especially important as many mental health patients on multiple medications). Medication adherence tracking with reminders. Side effect monitoring—patients report symptoms, psychiatrist adjusts dosage
