“The hardest part about getting help, after admitting you need help, is taking the steps to reach out to professionals. As an introvert, that's especially hard for me, because I don't like discussing my problems with strangers - I don't even discuss them with most of my friends or family. Brightside is the perfect resource for getting help, so that I can do it in a way that is comfortable for me and fits my needs. I don't feel pressured to talk about things, I just take surveys and get the medication I need, without being forced to take therapy. If or when I need it, there's always a therapist to talk to, but it's not forced. I really love Brightside - it's the perfect thing for people with depression and anxiety, because it makes getting help easier.”
“i don't like how often the psychiatrist has canceled without a headsup - i think that's really unprofessional and possibly dangerous for people dealing with depression. i am grateful however that medication is shipped to me since that is one way the platform is different and gets treatment to those who need it”
“With severe depression and anxiety it can be really difficult to seek treatment. I love the ease of the website and that everything can be done from my home. My doctor is really helpful and checks up on me regularly to make sure my medication is working for me and that I’m not having any side effects. Overall Brightside has been such a blessing!!!”
“Works as advertised: my video call was scheduled for the day after I signed up, and I received my delivery less than a week later. The check-ins are quick and simple.
I cannot afford insurance, and would be unable to access care without Brightside. It has made such a difference in my quality of life. Thank you.”
“With such an active life that holds no consistent schedule it is so amazing to have a doctor I can reach out to at any time and one that is available to talk when most other providers are “closed” is a major plus.”
“it’s a wonderful program! definitely helps those who don’t have the full accessibility of psychiatric help either momentarily or long term. the only big issue i have with brightside is the lack of proper notifications. i have to constantly check the web browser to see if i have a message to respond to, check-in, etc. email notifs (or maybe an app!) would solve this! :)”
“I love it! If it weren't for Brightside, i wouldn't have access to the medication that is literally changing my life, every day. Since i found Brightside, i cant imagine ever being without it.”
“I feel like the check ins should be just a little more specific in their choice or giving us more chooses in a way. Or maybe for each question we have a choice to right a quick detailed answer with our choice of answer.”
“I've only been using Brightside for about 4 weeks now, but I am already seeing a slight improvement in my mood. I'm looking forward to the next few months.”
“Brightside has helped me crawl out of the dark hole of my depression. With limited access to treatment in my rural area, Brightside has literally saved my life.”
