“Really a great option for those who don't have insurance. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because the cost for therapy and meds is a bit excessive so I had to pick one, which was a difficult choice when feeling so extremely down. My provider is awesome though!”
“The doctor has really saved me the hassle of getting the courage up to actually go see a therapist. I really appreciate the convenience of it because it’s hard to get help for yourself while working and caring fir kids. My doctor has been extremely kind and listens to my needs. He’s assisted me and changed my medication only after verifying that the other medication wasn’t working for sure. I feel it was a good choice for us.”
“Doctor is responsive enough and easy enough to work with. I wish there might have been a review process where psychotherapy was recommended as part of the overall plan. A little more attention paid to the human condition folks are coming to you with as opposed to feeling like it’s more about prescribing medication than anything else.”
“Brightside has been great for me. I was able to get help without all the effort of going into a Dr. office. Lets face it, when your depressed you are not likely to want to go anywhere.”
“Dr. Sewell is very nice and helpful.
The service is expensive for me right now considering that I am still out of work due to the pandemic. Medication is probably a lot less expensive through my insurance company.”
“I wish I had known about Brightside sooner. It’s been extremely helpful with my anxiety and depression. The convenience of having a psychiatrist without needing to drive to an office is great. I really feel like the check-ins are helpful because every week presents new challenges.”
“4 stars. I wasn't really aware that my 1x per week sessions were only 30 minutes. I know it may have been written somewhere but I have depression brain and I was surprised when my therapist was trying to end the session when I thought we had 35 more minutes.”
“There is elegance in simplicity, and the platform has just that. Response times, scheduling have all been good. I’m happy with my providers too. So far no hiccups. Its much, much better than the experience I had with Cerebral.”
“Brightside has helped me with my anxiety and depression. I was in a pretty dark and difficult place when I started. My therapist has helped me assess my life and take control of it. Learning mindfulness and to take control of my life has already made a difference in my life. The medication adjustment I received has helped me too.”
“It can be difficult to tell at times but this service does help even if it is slow going. Slow progress is still progress. Be patient and help these people help you.
But please, if you're facing a crisis get emergency help.”
“Brightside is a great option for it’s speed and efficiency which make it stand out against traditional healthcare options. I think the company is still young & growing, so it’s worth it to check whether your health insurance is accepted by them.”
