The best way to get a detailed estimate of your cost is to contact your insurance company directly, since your cost will depend on the details of your coverage.

For some, it’s just a copay. If you have an unmet deductible, it could be more.

Call the number on your insurance card and ask about your plan’s coverage for outpatient psychiatric services.

Absolutely. In most cases, virtual treatment for depression is as effective as in-person care. Our goal is to help you find the best treatment option for your needs and there may be some cases where virtual care isn't the right fit. If this is the case, your psychiatrist will be able to recommend other treatment options within your first visit.

Yes! Our team is made up of over 300 psychiatrists who represent a broad range of backgrounds and specialties. Psychiatrists are medical doctors that specialize in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions with medication management and supportive therapy.

Depending on your needs, medication may be a part of your treatment plan, paired with supportive therapy from your doctor. You and your psychiatrist will work together to decide the best treatment for you.

Talkiatry psychiatrists practice responsible prescription practices and only prescribe FDA-approved medication. Your psychiatrist will help you navigate your options for medications and answer any questions you have about the benefits and side effects of each medication.

That's okay! In the first visit, your psychiatrist will ask you questions about your personal history, medical history, and symptoms to determine the best treatment for your needs. For people diagnosed with a form of depression, treatment typically includes medication management and supportive therapy.

Yes. People with bipolar disorder may experience episodes of depression in between episodes of mania (periods of extreme energy or abnormally elevated mood). Episodes of mania can be mild in some people and may be hard to identify. A qualified mental health professional, like a psychiatrist, can provide an accurate diagnosis and recommend a treatment plan.

Postpartum depression is a specific type of depression that starts during (perinatal) or after (postpartum) pregnancy and childbirth. Unlike the “baby blues,” postpartum depression involves more severe, persistent symptoms which may include: difficulty bonding with the baby, difficulty taking care of yourself or the baby, thoughts of harming self or baby.

Both terms are used interchangeably and are also often times referred to as “depression”. Depression, major depressive disorder, or clinical depression are different from situational depression which is short term and occurs in response to a major life event like the death of a loved one, illness, or the end of a relationship.
