“My experience with Brightside has been wonderful. I've been able to get access to mental wellness care in a way that is both convenient and discrete. I like the online check-in surveys and ease of use, and the doctor I saw in the virtual appointment/consult was caring and helped me feel listened to and validated for seeking care. I'm feeling better and grateful for this service.”
“It is helpful but some of the medications that i believe would help me more are not available because they are controlled substances. I am not a doctor but i am obseseve in researching things and they way i feel and the symptoms i have would respond better to those controlled medications. Because of that fact i am most likely going to find a local doctor to treat me.”
“It took a while but I have dramatically improved depression and anxiety. I could get the medication cheaper through my insurance but the help from Brightside physician was invaluable. Plus, I really did not want a record of mental health medication in my records or on my insurance.”
“I love the mini lessons they have me do, i feel like it really helps. My psychiatrist who checks in on me is great. The site is easy to use and i love that i can physically see my tracked progress because it makes me feel better knowing what’s working and what’s not. Would totally recommend this site to others.”
“Dr Frea is awesome. Bright side has helped so much and so easy to just my doctor a quick message and you get a quick reply. Great for people who don’t have time to take off work every time they need to go to the doctor.”
“I felt the therapist’s initial assessment was thorough. I’m pleased with her prescribing an anti-depressant that worked for me in the past; I feel that she listened to both my concerns and my interest in trying medication. The program is both affordable and easy to access. Overall, the experience has been easier then I could imagine and I would encourage anyone to give it a try.”
“Very convenient and affordable. I love the weekly check ins because they not only update my doctor but also help me reflect on progress. The ability to leave you doctor messages and have them respond within a day being in included is great.”
“I do feel like my symptoms overall have improved, but I’d like if there was an app, and means to see my therapist face to face like you can your provider.”
“So far I am able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. This is the first time that I have given medication a go and have stuck with it. I am so happy that I sought out help for myself.”
“I've been very happy with it. My consultation went smoothly, I felt like the doctor really listened, and the medication has been helpful, with easy refiils.”
“Ease of access to get started and frequent check-ins to stay are track make such a big difference and help to stay engaged and accountable in continuing to get help.”
