“The app and accessibility are very helpful. Unfortunately the first class of drugs I was prescribed seems to have made things worse but my doctor was committed to helping me find the right treatment plan and new meds are settling in well.”
“In the few short weeks it's changed my life in so many wonderful ways that I didn't even think was possible. With that being said I do wish that the doctor was a little bit more in touch about the treatment progress.”
“Brightside has been so convenient for me. Not having a vehicle makes it difficult for me to get to appointments so tele-medicine has been a life saver. Marie Caro actually listened to my symptoms, took note of my past medications and prescribed me with an option that just so happened to finally suppress the depression I thought I was going to suffer through for the rest of my life. I thought years of going to my psychiatrist and being prescribed the same medications over and over and feeling hopeless was going to be it. It is a little pricey for the monthly subscription in my opinion which is the only reason I did not give it five stars. I wish they would charge per video appt and the medication copays rather than paying monthly. If you only video chat with your doctor once in a month, it seems like too much. But, thank you, Brightside, for giving me hope again.”
“It's obviously never going to be the exact same as an in-person appointment, but for me, it's working perfectly. I can easily get the meds I need, and the checkups help me reflect on how I've been feeling lately, which is especially helpful nowadays.”
“I feel my Brightside doctor genuinely cares about my well-being and wants to help me to achieve my mental health goals. I couldn't be happier with her and with Brightside, for connecting me with her. Thank you, big thumbs up from this client/user.”
“I’m very pleased with this service. My doctor is attentive and I appreciate that. Much less expensive than your local psych visit as well. Very pleased.”
“Video call and checkins with psychiatrist are great - better than a traditional approach. On the counseling side, chat-only therapy is not effective.”
“An easy and hassle-free way to get on medication for depression and/or anxiety. Seems like a great resource in these stressful times. Glad it was available when I didn’t have access to doctors or healthcare during the pandemic.”
“I’ve done traditional therapy before and I feel like bright side was made for me. I really like how easy the interface is and how simple it is to track progress and contact your provider. I’ve recommended it to two of my friends that also struggle with mental health.”
