“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.”
“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.”
“The doctor that Brightside connected me with is the best I’ve had in years. She’s insightful, thoughtful, and caring. The text-only therapy is admittedly a bit odd to navigate — feels like there is a set path and I don’t know if I should be asking other personal questions outside of that pathway. Maybe an in-person/virtual option would be better.”
