“I am still in the middle of all this. It is helping, but I am still kind of burning the candle at all three ends. Hard for me to declare victory - this is going to take some more time. And… I am so sick of reviews. I buy a toothbrush and I get asked to review my experience. Technology has created too many false narratives for products. I usually delete the surveys and even that takes up too much time. I can’t wait for AI to weed them out of my inbox.”
“I gave this platform a chance and signed up to see a psychiatrist as well as a therapist. I have already been on just about every medication possible for depression and have tried several different combinations of meds as well without much help. After a few failed attempts at finding a medication that would work for me, I stopped seeing the psychiatrist. I still meet regularly with my therapist. For the first time in several years, I actually like my therapist and I feel comfortable talking to him. He seems to really care and I’m thankful that I found him.”
“The different techniques does help when I have anxiety and feel bad. It helps to have someone to talk to not in the family or related to drama going on .”
“I enjoy my MHNP and therapist very much and they have been very helpful. My only issue is difficulty logging on at times which has caused me to miss an appointment. Bummer.”
“I love the app , customer service, and I have a great provider who takes Medicare . The only problem is that 15 minutes sharp is too short for a psychiatric visit. I am also in therapy outside of Brightside, but the medication visits should still be longer .”
“The app is a little jumpy. It skips from page to page. A lot of back traking.
I skeptically came to Brightside when my brick and mortar psych retired. REBECCA FOWLKES, NP does a great job. She's on time, knowledgeable, and articulate.”
“I find this a very convenient platform for my mental health and medication management. I really appreciate the candor with my AMHNP. I really liked my personal LCSW at first but felt like that provider had different goals for me and wasn’t listening to me as well as I’d have liked. She’s an excellent counselor, don’t get me wrong. I found it very easy and convenient to “break up” with that therapist and initiate care with another LPC. Have my first appointment with her tomorrow and will see how it goes! Overall, I am pleased with Brightside”
“I’ve been really happy with the ease of using the system and getting access to my medical provider. I’m still assessing how I will continue long term with Brightside. I came as the result of my psychiatrist of close to 20 yrs, retiring. So it will take me a bit to figure out how much talk therapy I’m interested in at this stage.”
